demonstrated the value ofdevelopmental experiences conducted in concert with post-graduate advisors to foster identitydevelopment and increase the academic performance of undergraduate engineering students. Thisstudy sought to provide an example of this precedent as applied to an undergraduate student. Auto-ethnographic memos were used as evidence of the student’s identity development. These memoswere used to record a diverse collection of experiences occurring concurrently with the study toinclude; advisor meetings, a summer internship with a national research laboratory, challengesencountered, and individual reflections. Key takeaways from the author’s developmentalexperience were changes in technical competence, technical collaboration, and

Surveys showed that thiswas due to the fact that the laboratory experiments were topic specific and did not present asystem design approach which made it difficult for students who attempted to use thismicrocontroller [1]. A new platform, the C-Stamp microcontroller, was introduced as analternative for their design. This development boards provide a pre-assembled hardware platform,which include common peripheries in addition to programming libraries. These benefitsencouraged some students to implement the C-Stamp microcontroller in their senior designprojects with fairly successful outcomes [1]. The
