institutions [1]. Another study surveyed faculty at amedium-sized, research active, private institute and found that there is a weak safety culturewithin academia [7].Engineering student societies serve as an extension of a student’s formal learning from the theoryand lab-based classes into actual practice. Studies on safety in academic settings generally focuson academic research laboratories with graduate students and postdoctoral researchers (e.g. [9],[10], [11]) or focus on formal learning such as laboratory sessions or classroom teaching (e.g.[12], [13]). None of the existing studies we found in the literature focus on universityundergraduate student safety practices in co-curricular activities such as engineering clubs andengineering team
inspire a new generation of innovators.The motivation behind this project is to teach important STEM-related skills to students in an engagingway. Using soft robotics specifically can offer a unique approach to learning as it encourages students toproblem solve using a creative, adaptable, and entrepreneurial mindset. The project is also designed tointegrate healthy competition among students which further encourages student involvement. Moreover,exposing students to soft robotics can provide a new perspective of problem-solving for the next generationof engineers.The entirety of this module was developed as part of a design project completed by junior and seniormechanical engineering students which gives strengths to the feasibility of

I think I have developed a lot of the materials that we use and brought in a lot of ideas. So I’m more of a behind the scenes person than an out there in front person.”Similarly, Michael Pavelich commented: “I hope [my contribution] is to have documented the importance of these learning taxonomies and to take them seriously and understand them fully, and then models of how to implement that kind of thinking in the classroom, and then finally ways of measurement that make sense or that really speak to

load introduced by the presentation of an idea, and germane cognitive load is the effortrequired to convert knowledge from short to long term memory [17].Cognitive load is related to laboratory activities. At minimum, the presentation of laboratorymanuals can affect extraneous cognitive load. For instance, laboratory manuals that linkdiagrams to text poorly can introduce extraneous cognitive load [18]. Further, medical literatureshows some evidence that pursuing many learning goals can affect cognitive load [19].4 Teamwork, Interdependence, Stress and SpecializationTeam or group-based work benefits student learning [8], and teamwork skills are consideredessential to employment [20], [21], so teaching and learning teamwork is important
