these two people that I’m talking about, well I can those two real friends. (Student A) I have learned that it is okay to make friends in college. I did not expect to make so many these last two years especially because of my introverted personality. I prefer to struggle on my own and get through everything by myself but some of the current friends forced themselves into my life and I appreciate it. They are funny, cool, and good people at heart. (Student B) I did not expect to make many new friends through my college years. I expected semester friends however with this two-year program, many of the cohort members have become close friends of mine that I hope to keep.Growing in Possible

First, we will provide context on Making through section 2,‘Relevant Background’, explaining how our inquiry in this EAGER arose from the intersection ofMaking, manufacturing, and production engineering concerns. Following after, in section 3, ‘TheM2 Model’, we illustrate how our model of combined Making with real-world situatedness andconsider its implications for engineering education.

matrix.Example ResultA key outcome of this project is that network analysis metrics for bipartite student-toolinteraction networks of makerspaces do detect disruptions in university makerspaces. Shown inFigure 3 is students’ tool usage data from the two universities over three spring semesters,including during COVID-19 and recovery afterward [1-3]. The effects of COVID-19 can be seenclearly in the tool usage data on the left. What is far less clear is if the two spaces recovered at asimilar rate. The modularity and nestedness data on the right clearly show impact due to COVID-19, but also indicate that University B was able to maintain a high nestedness value andrecovered more quickly. High nestedness generally indicates a more robust network
