Our project leverages a course structure called‘engineering clinics’, which are modified versions of capstone design experiences. Within clinics,third and fourth-year students engage in team-based projects with faculty or industry mentors. Theten students in our clinic were split into three teams and tasked with 1) surveying existing softrobotics designs and applications, 2) creating a soft robot prototype, and 3) designing a learningactivity around their prototype.

It is an iterative, creative,decision-making process in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences areapplied to convert resources into solutions. Engineering design involves identifyingopportunities, developing requirements, performing analysis and synthesis, generating multiplesolutions, evaluating solutions against requirements, considering risks, and making trade-offs toobtain a high-quality solution under the given circumstances.
