[26] forlearning objectives A and B and Tufte [27] for objective C (see Table 1).The overarching course learning objectives were mapped to specific communications skills(Table 1) that were introduced and reinforced with three steps. First, in the weekly workshops,students were introduced to a communications skill, e.g., creating a table, and specific guidelinesfor content and formatting associated with that skill (Figure 1). Then students critiqued aninstructor-provided example of technical communications according to these guidelines, first inclass as small group activity and then as part

Using this, the literature was collected based on a setcriterion, compiled into a database, summarized, and discussed. As one of the goals, theliterature collected was summarized and sorted by an established coding scheme primarilyfocusing on intervention category and subcategory.

].To address this tension at our university, we are engaging undergraduate engineering studentsacross multiple phases of soft robotics curriculum development. Students are developing softrobotics learning modules as co-designers, which is what is presented in this paper. In the future,they will get to pilot their activities with other students. Once modules are fully developed andpiloted, they will be implemented in courses across our mechanical engineering (ME) curriculumand shared publicly. Overall, our full project will explore the potential for student-generated softrobotics modules to impact the learning and interest in soft robotics of both (a) the studentsdesigning the modules and (b) the students participating in the modules once they

Students often underestimate thetime and effort to get from sketches to creating a final 3-D printed part. While the project shouldoffer a challenge, instructors should have realistic expectations of the students’ experiences.Often, supplemental information is needed to complete the project, but may not be known at thestart. This can easily be provided to the students as needed. Brainstorming ideas with theteaching assistants (TAs) can predict many potential downfalls or concerns when selecting theproject.
