The perception of a white-men dominated environment canoften result in unfair stereotypes and biases imposed on women and people of color. These studentscan face assumptions of inferiority and be considered as part of the STEM field only as part of arequirement or quota [2],[3],[4]. Group based project learning is a common tool used in the engineering classroom topromote the acquisition and development of skills that prepare students for engineering careersrequiring significant collaborative effort.

students’ early exposure will benefit them in subsequent courses intheir academic careers [1,2]. Major constraints in exposing students to probability and statisticsin their first year are: course-space availability to accommodate an additional subject, and limitedclassroom time. Additionally, these constraints affect the depth at which an instructor can delveinto the material [2]. Also contributing to difficulty in students understanding the material is thatthey may not have been exposed to the subject of statistics in high school [2].To prepare high school students for the SAT and college, many high schools offer advancedmathematics courses such as Probability/ Statistics and Calculus.

The Engineering Education community has developed several spaces inthe United States and internationally to continuously discuss the trends of the field.

This lends to the notion that studentsview the benefits of these competitions as applying to their fields in general and aren’tnecessarily looking for a career in robotics. This is also evident in Figure 3, which has onlytwenty percent of students identifying that a resume item is a reason for joining the project.Although, the graph in Figure 8 provides further details to this and suggests that studentparticipants wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to a job in the robotics field.The data in Figure 4 shows that all the surveyed students associate their participation with anincrease in their

Working effectively as team members iscrucial for their professional careers while being able to conduct research helps them in life-longlearning.

Our projects were all primarily two-dimensional, and only a handful utilized a forceplate or force transducers. Our work also showed some of the benefits of working acrossdepartments. We hope that by involving students in the lab activities earlier in their education,more will be motivated to participate in research studies and to consider biomechanics and/orresearch careers.

However, by the last day of class, nearly all students commented on the importanceof gratitude, meaning, and mindfulness. For example, the same student who wrote on the first dayof class “thriving is achieving all my goals,” reflected on the last day of class: I always thought that thriving meant having a lot of success in my career and life as a student.

The “from scratch” design is denoted as EOS. We wished to equipstudents with the ability of learning any new RTOS in their future career after understandingEOS. However, we still felt that the “from scratch” may be further improved by also showing acommercial RTOS. Our hypothesis was that the “from scratch” approach may miss thedeployable convenience of a commercial RTOS, and the “top-down” approach misses technicaldetails that the “from scratch” may
