When she realized that theBME program’s tenets did not align with her interests, she began considering MechanicalEngineering because she thought the program would provide her with various opportunities as astudent and future engineer aspiring to work in industry. Initially, she thought as a MechanicalEngineering student she would be able to take “classes that would be applicable to BiomedicalEngineering or Biomechanics,” however, later on, she realized later that the MechanicalEngineering program would not have provided flexibility within the plan of study “because of therigor in the mechanical engineering

The sophomore year is a defining moment in the college career, and also a timethat is filled with uncertainty and a sense of losing support students had in their freshmen year [2,4-6]. We recognized the need for students to strengthen their motivation, resolve, and capabilityto persevere through the challenges that tend to hit them particularly hard when they reach theirfirst engineering courses, typically in their sophomore year. We hypothesized that servicelearning projects during the students’ freshman-to-sophomore transition would address theseneeds and thus build engineering identity and improve their academic performance in theirsophomore year

For these first-year students, they are experiencing this 60-minute program as part of their ENGR102 course - early in their college careers during a time when many crave community-building. When we devised this program in 2019, we saw a need to build morecommunity at our school - and little did we know that this need would be even more ofa priority just a few months later.An RE3 presentation to first-year engineering students in ENGR 102 consists ofabout 60 minutes of story-related activities and story sharing.

It is often seen that potential chemical engineering students whoare interested in careers in medicine take a pre-medical route or switch to bioengineering as amajor. Core classes such as transport phenomena and separations in the chemical engineeringcurriculum, though, teach students a number of invaluable concepts and fundamentals that can beapplied to projects involving the life sciences.To address the misconceptions of chemical engineering as a major and its importance in themedical field, we propose to use a hands-on, interactive learning tool

]. Traditional classroom teaching is often based on lecturing and examinations; therefore, theymight lack going beyond teaching students technical and discipline-specific skills.On the other hand, student competitions go beyond and offer students soft skills, which are thekey to successful experiential learning [6]. In engineering education, senior capstone projectshave become typical venues for teaching soft skills as well; however, these are often still limitedwith class-time and curriculum expectations [7]. Capstone projects, by nature, are towards theend of students’ educational careers, and therefore, students may not have time to practice thesoft skills they just have exposure.

This isa benefit that we will be taking greater advantage of during the upcoming semester.However, there is a distinct disadvantage in using the Infinity Project with students who aresoftware-focused in their academic career. This disadvantage is that the designers of Infinitywent to some pains to HIDE the software such that an Infinity user could manipulate thehardware in a large variety of ways without ever having to see any code.
