member, the student successprofessional, and the students. The key to a successful implementation of a wrap-around advisingprocess is collegiate communication between the faculty members and student successprofessionals, and always remembering to be student-centric with regards to their academicsuccess and well-being. In this work, the authors discuss the history of development of thisadvising plan, some minor challenges, early results, and long-term goals.Advising Plan DevelopmentThe early development of this advising plan began with the work done by Assadollahi (2020)[2], which provided a template of course assignments to be incorporated into a first-yearintroductory civil engineering course. This subsequently led to an open discussion between

The course was originally planned to be delivered in-person in KSS as follows: • UBCO faculty and postgraduate students teach their preferred modules, with the postgraduate students mainly assisting with hands-on or lab activities. • UBCO technicians are responsible for safety workshop, machine shop demos, and setting up labs conducted at UBCO. • UBCO staff hold the admission and scholarship session and provides support on coordination if needed. • KSS physics teacher develops and conducts the assessments during the flex classes. He is also responsible for coordination

To address this need and opportunity, we gathered ateam of educators together with expertise in making and STEM education. We planned to createand share activity ideas with caregivers through an associated Facebook group (CoBuild19). Theteam started a Facebook group on March 13. Membership in the group grew to 3490 by April 1and 4245 by May 1 and leveled off at approximately 5000 members in June 2020, without muchchange since that time.

As a result, misinterpretations ofthe project were resolved at early stages. The “Implementation Plan” deliverable was delayedfrom September to late November, giving students adequate time to consider implementationstrategies before following with documentation. An Interim Demonstration was introducedduring the first week of December to encourage students to kick-off the implementation phaseduring fall semester. After the Interim Demonstration, requirements and methods were clear tomost students, allowing them to complete the projects with minimal supervision. Deliverableexpectations must be better

In-person recruiting events were planned in the service areas ofeach of the community colleges and in a 10-county region surrounding the university. Theoriginal plan for programming was to offer special events and speakers on each campusthroughout the academic year so that all of the scholars could meet each other and learn moreabout the engineering profession. When events were held on the university campus, the goal wasto showcase the laboratories and programs available once students complete their associate’sdegree and transfer and for them to begin developing relationships

During the ECPproject, it became evident that the primary goal of creating a sustainable network of engineeringfaculty at HBCUs to focus on ECP was the driving force behind the IEC, but with a widerimpact. The ECP network was formed through a series of in-person and online workshops andinformational meetings, and the same approach was planned for the IEC. However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the organization to change its plans, resulting in a series of mini workshopsthroughout 2020 [2]. The purpose of these workshops was to explore policies, ideas, training,infrastructure, and other topics that would support effective partnerships, and to address

Therefore, to provide acomprehensive and engaging learning experience that can be incorporated into various formativeand summative assessments, the robotic arm needs to meet three key requirements: (1)Affordability: The robot arm should be affordable enough to enable each group of 2-3 students tohave one. (2) Portability: The robot arm should be easy to transport the robotic arm to and fromclass or study groups. (3) Untethered operation: The robot arm should be able to operate withoutthe need for wall outlets, allowing it to be used in a classroom, cafe, or park.

The third changeis due to a lack of 5th grade statewide End-of-Grade (EOG) Science Test administration or scoresfor spring 2020. As such, the researchers planned to use the released exam as a proxy for 5th gradeEOG.It should be noted that even with these pivots, the team continued to experience additional ad hocchallenges throughout Year 1. For example, the student assent and parent consent process wassignificantly delayed due to several compounding factors including not being able to send studentsand families consent forms prior to the course start, students
