as the most important sources of informationthough at least two students commented there was not enough information and they did their ownindependent research.We also asked students to comment on what they found to be the biggest challenge(s) during thetransfer process and specifically what would have helped in overcoming those challenges. By farthe most commonly mentioned reason was being unsure which classes would transfer from 2-yearto 4-year colleges, and understanding what the transfer prerequisites were. Some studentsmentioned that they attended multiple 2-year colleges and had greater difficulty figuring out whatclasses would and would not count toward their 4-year degree.A majority of post-transfer students (68%) reported having an

Engineering Education, 2024 Meta-Activity Theory as a Conceptual Toolfor Supporting Transdisciplinary Curricular Experimentation in Undergraduate Learning ContextsWhen it comes to carrying out external evaluations of academic plans in higher education, LisaR. Lattuca and Joan S. Stark’s text, Shaping the College Curriculum: Academic Plans inContext, has provided a critical resource (Lattuca and Stark, 2011). The text lays out aframework for analyzing the social aspects of curricular plans, which often involves examininghow the intended curricular design of an academic program compares to the actual livedexperiences of students and faculty who are involved in the curriculum. By drawing on Lattucaand Stark’s framework, external
, the simplicity of the project naturally yields the project to be used in awide variety of learning environments and student learners. When implementation does occur, the generatedresults would need to be studied and further modifications would be made to the teaching approach.Eventually, the module and learning materials along with the project will be made highly accessible toeducators through a centralized soft robotic teaching website being developed at Rowan University.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work partially supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.2235647.

The pre-survey is provided duringthe first week of the program. The post-survey is provided during the last week of the program.Survey responses are collected and de-identified before being made available to the PI. The firstyear of the VisREU Site resulted in lackluster student participation—less than 4 studentscompleted surveys. Greater effort was made in 2015 to stress the importance of feedback. As aresult, 92% (11 out of 12) students completed pre-surveys, 67% (8 out of 12) completed post-surveys. The following sections present survey responses from 2015 VisREU Cohort
