ofpersuasion [3]. While for some students the trustworthiness of an academic might besufficient, other students may expect you to cite your sources, especially with regards tocontentious or novel topics. This helps present the information as being more than just youropinion, assisting students with the evaluation process.Additionally, in areas of Engineering that might be more subjective (such as ethics andprofessional skills) it can be helpful to acknowledge that reasonable minds can come todifferent conclusions based on the same set of facts. Coming across diverse perspectives hasbeen shown to increase empathy and improve ethical decision making in students, as itteaches them their original perspective is not necessarily universal [27].Component 3

First offered in 2022, the course was taken by students inelectrical, mechanical, and marine engineering, as well as naval architecture; all presumably withinterest in the maritime industry. Comprising a major component of the course was a collectionof several mini projects we designed [2] to focus on the maritime industry and also demonstratemost of the concepts vital to classical ML.

with significant financial need that requires them towork extensive hours, slowing progress toward engineering degree completion. Additionally,many of these students are also first-generation college students and students fromunderrepresented demographics which can further impede development of a STEM identity andsense of belonging within their engineering discipline.With this background in mind, the Urban STEM Collaboratory project is designed to: 1. Increase the retention, success, and graduation rates of academically talented and financially needy undergraduate engineering majors; 2. Implement sustainable interventions that support academic success, STEM identity, and workforce readiness of engineering students; 3

Particularly thecreativity aspect was developed later in the project, and as a result, the produced prototype didnot adhere to the rubric well. With these in mind from the start, a more creative magnetic softrobot could have been developed (e.g. an ocean-themed tentacle robot).ConclusionThe learning outcomes for this soft-robotics-themed project address several needs of theengineering education space. This tube-man project can teach engineering students aboutdesigning and creating a soft robot that reinforces key

experimentalvalues, they began calculating the theoretical changes in the measured weight of the mass as afunction of the track’s angle. As shown in the full instructions in Appendix A, they had tomultiply the measured mass when the scale was flat (m0) by the cosine of the track’s angle ofinclination. Because some students were using their phones for these calculations while othershad scientific calculators, they were all reminded to be mindful of the units in their calculations.One group of students found a large error in their calculations due to their calculator’s anglesetting in radians, instead of degrees. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 2023 ASEE Midwest Section
