team solely because of their interest in underwater robotics. The leaderhighlighted that managing expectations and instilling discipline within the team constitutes theprimary challenge he faced and learned from. Unlike curriculum projects, which can motivatestudents through grades, a SIG is purely passion-driven and initiated by students. Thus,establishing team dynamics and identifying individual contributions become essential skills todevelop. The leader discovered that every student can contribute their talent and expertise to theproject if the leader can recognize their potential and assign suitable tasks. As he shared “I reallybelieve that every student has something special to offer. It's all about the team recognizing whateach person is
of entry-level engineers. The impetus for this change stem from thefollowing: i) calls from such professional organizations as NCEES to change licensurerequirements to include both a mandatory baccalaureate degree and up to thirty semester creditsof post-baccalaureate education and ii) pressure to reduce minimum semester credit requirementsfor baccalaureate degrees to 120. Five-year BS/MS degrees in engineering disciplines providethe opportunities to satisfy the demands for 120-semester credit BS degrees while meeting theneeds of the profession (and licensure) with 30 semester-credit MS degrees. While 120-creditBS degree programs provide engineering fundamentals, the 30-credit MS degree programsprovide discipline-specific focus. So called

during disruptions smoother for both instructors and students.Future research work will focus on combining LMS data with instructor syllabi information overthe same time period. This more holistic approach aims to provide a more comprehensiveunderstanding of instructional strategies used and can lead to more robust recommendations.Exploring the synergies between LMS features and syllabus content will offer valuable insightsinto optimizing teaching methods, aligning curriculum with student needs, and enhancing theoverall educational experience. This expansion in data collection and analysis will contribute to amore nuanced and informed perspective on the evolving role of educational technology inresponding to disruptions.AcknowledgementThis work

betterunderstand what types of EM-based educational initiatives within the Network are moresuccessful, thus permitting much-needed comparative return-on-investment analyses to helpidentify the most effective approaches to EM education, thereby enabling the promotion of suchpractices across the Network and beyond. A key premise in this effort is that the KEENFramework [12] emphasizes opportunity, design, and impact as the essential elements forsuccessful innovation. An accredited engineering curriculum is already grounded in designcontent. Thus, EM-based educational activities need to focus on opportunity and impact, andhow faculty might recognize this development of their students. In short, which observablebehaviors are exhibited by engineering students
