With a desire to use the Biologically-inspired, Lighter-than-air, Instructional,Mechatronics Program (BLIMP) as a platform to teach high-school aged students about structuralengineering, hydrodynamics, biologically inspired propulsion, system design, and swarming, theproject needed a mixture of expertise from multiple disciplines in engineering, science, andeducation. The desire to ensure it would be a captivating program for high-school aged learnersmotivated inclusion of a cohort of undergraduate researchers, overseen by a MS-level student, whocould view the kit, instructional components, and website with media savvy more closely alignedto the desired user population than the faculty experts.

An integrated design approach [11] was adoptedin which faculty, staff, upperclassmen and industry partners collaborated on the design,development, delivery, and assessment of program contents. The strength of the program stemsfrom the diversity and adaptability of its content. The various types of program activities worktogether to provide many safety nets [12] that serve the dynamic

Ultimately, these students experience atransition from high school to college that is different and potentially more difficult than in thepast.

Surveys that were designed for large-scale participant pools cannotcapture nuances of students’ experiences, especially with REU programs’ comparatively lowparticipant numbers. As a result, the effects of research experience on these students’ learningand identity are difficult for engineering education researchers to access. This is particularlyproblematic because many REU sites, including ours, are designed to serve marginalizedpopulations in engineering and science.
