There is no doubt, however, that learning through hands-onexperience is an effective method of retaining information. Undergraduate students in this digitalage have grown up with technology and come from an education system that encourages criticalthinking, hands-on learning, teamwork, design skills, problem solving, and experiential learning[1].

Specifically inthe Native American community, their expertise and a view on a variety of complex problems isneeded to form new ideas [2].Cross-institutional barriers, lack of connectivity, work and family responsibilities, and loyalty tocommunity of origin discourage participation on problem solving teams and contribute to thefailure of forming interconnected services [3]. In fact, only 17% of Native American studentscontinue their education after high school, which is significant when compared to the rest of theUS population at a rate of 60% [4], [5], [6].

The modules focused on how to act and how to respond to promote psychological safety on design projects. Each module was tailored to a different phase of the design process. The themes of the three modules are (1) treating every idea as having potential to contribute to a positive outcome, (2) questioning an idea to obtain valuable insight, and (3) applying the brake to improve a decision. To explore the impact of the modules, we deployed a post-course survey to measure students’ perceptions of psychological safety on their project teams.

Evidence howeversuggests that many of these students experience disproportionately higher attrition rates fromscience and engineering programs [2].
