Failure’ due to the educational connotations and pressure of current high-stakes educational assessment landscape. Yet, when embracing inclusive design-thinking process and the development of a healthy ‘space in-between’ where territories are not recognized and ideas are played with, failure is reframed as a learning tool, rather than a negative outcome. When teams’ potential solutions fail, the experience needs to be seen as important feedback. What could be part of the reframing of failure for students? Three constructs come to mind: (1) Mindset [16], (2) a Sense of Curiosity/Risk-taking [17], and (3) Sense of Agency [18]. a) Mindset: Dweck [19] described qualities of mindsets that address the ‘Openness

They observed (by validated numerical integration) reduced impact speeds, but theyalso realized that it was not possible to add enough mass to achieve 5 m/s impact speed. Actualimpact speeds were reduced to 8 to 12 m/s, but not down to 5 m/s. Students performed theircalculations and included them in their team reports. Students observed that increasing massnaturally resulted in slower impact. The main goal was to achieve a soft tolerable impact forcargo and/or passengers while still arriving to the destination.3.

critical to our adoption of ERSP, especially in ENG 294, waslogging because it helped us to identify team issues and determine proposal progress. Anothercritical aspect of the course was allocating time during class to check-in with each of the teams.Check-ins were done by the faculty and the graduate student.ConclusionOverall, the changes made to the ERSP model were not major, but they were necessary for theadoption of the program to an institution like UIC. These changes were incorporated to ensurethat the program met the goals and kept its critical components (i.e., ENG 294 course, dual-mentoring, and team-based structure).
