Anotherexperience-based skill required by engineers is to move forward amidst ambiguity anduncertainty. Liu and Brown also suggest that including active and project-based learning has thepotential to develop this experience-based skills in undergraduate students. Monterrubio andSirinterlikci implement this active learning approach into the curriculum of a Machine Designcourse by including a semester-long laboratory in which students design and construct aninjection-mold [3].

].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

with insights into the evolution of technology and its impact on society andhistorical developments. However, not every student takes this course and benefits from it.Another approach to integrating history into engineering is by teaching historical snapshotswithin the engineering curriculum [7]. Many textbooks claim to provide a historical context,often including brief histories and applications of engineering principles. Instructors can expandon this by providing a more in-depth introduction to historical snapshots.With a sense of curiosity, we embarked on implementing the idea of introducing historicalfigures and related case studies into our two mechanical engineering core courses, EngineeringFluid Mechanics and Design of Machine Elements

Studentsusually see analysis as being theoretical while design is seen as dealing with practical issues,whereas in fact analysis and design are closely intertwined.At Penn State we are attempting to integrate various parts of the curriculum by developingproject design examples that cover analysis and design of structural components within thecontext of a complete structural system. This approach has already been implemented in ourcourse on design of concrete structures and we are currently developing the modules for ourstructural analysis course.As part of the assessment process, a baseline test has been developed to assess the student'sunderstanding of structural engineering concepts at various stages of their development.II.
