].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

Once a prototype solution has beencompleted, instructors and Ideas Clinic staff will design the learning materials for the course, andit will transition into an implementation phase. For projects with significant hardwarecomponents, the implementation phase often includes significant work to scale the hardware foruse by an entire class of students.McRae et al.

We decided to entice students by exposingthem to engineering entrepreneurship from very early in their program of study, i.e., the firstsemester of the freshmen year. This strategy is inline with the observations of Bilen et al.9 andGeorgi et al.7 who note that younger students are more interested in entrepreneurship. They

We consider the theoretical background that supports this endeavor,the initial set of four engineering design-based science curriculum units that have been created,and the preliminary findings on the science content learning that occurs during unit enactment.The purpose of our project is to explore an overarching research question: what are theconsequences of using engineering-design-based activities as contexts for specific sciencecontent instruction in the upper elementary grades? To investigate this question, we havecollaborated with local teachers to
