objective was centered around creating compelling projects tailoredfor educational purposes, aimed at enhancing undergraduate learning experiences in mechanicalengineering through soft robotics. As soft robotics is a relatively new field [1], manyundergraduate students are unaware of its existence or unfamiliar with the opportunities in thisfield. As a result, there is an urgent need to increase students’ awareness of this emergingengineering field. There are many valuable engineering skills students can be exposed to throughthe field of soft robotics, including mechanical design, soft material behavior, physics principles,and creative thinking during design. Utilizing soft materials for such a project offers theadvantage of facilitating smooth

This paper presents a “Wacky-Waving-Non-Inflatable-Arm-Flailing-Tube-Man” that undergraduate students can design, build, analyze, and test. The projectcan be tailored as a classroom activity, a laboratory exercise, or a group project. Students willdesign several tests to determine the best design to achieve a tailored flailing configuration.

The equipment takes an image of a cuvette at set time points. Image J isused to analyze the images taken by the camera. A calibration curve relating the RBG colorsaturation of the food dye to the concentration is created. Once the calibration is completed,timelapse diffusion experiments begin. Students must decide how long to run each experiment,how often to image the cuvette, and the range of agar weight percentages to test. Cuvettes filledwith 1 mL of agar hydrogel will be loaded with 1 mL of a high concentration of food dye on top.Using the calibration data and the timelapse

The letter-grademarking system is relatively new compared to the institution of higher education [1] and bringswith it a secondary effect of an “A” ranking conveying significant value and meaning to theinterpreter. Students (and faculty) bring their own interpretation of what it means to be an ‘A’student and connect this to their personal identity [2]. The shift to letter-based grades coincidedwith

The processes by which scientists and engineers develop software hasbecome more complex, involving many collaborators [3] and close coupling with other parts ofthe engineering design process [4]. Despite this increasing importance, the treatment of softwarein undergraduate STEM education largely consists of programming, that is, implementingsoftware for achieving a specific task, rather than software engineering practices and tools(SEPTs), that is, tools and techniques used in the overall process of designing, implementing, andmaintaining software.
