To ensure that a large enough sample of methods was gathered, we used asystematized literature review process. As suggested by Borrego and colleagues20, wefollowed the PRISMA selection process to search for and select potentially relevant papers.First, we defined three inclusion criteria:1. The papers needed to focus on the social or procedural aspects of small scale HE projects, such as: a. Frameworks, methodologies, processes, approaches, principles, or collections thereof, b. Methods, tools, techniques, dimensions, mindsets, c. Lessons learned, and/or d. Case

Tutoring or supplemental instruction (SI) sessions are critical to success. Evenwhen students are comfortable in a subject, there are benefits to participation. Students maydiscover that they have misconceptions and that they cannot relate concepts learned at differenttimes in a course or across different courses. Tutoring also challenges them to push themselves toa higher order of thinking, analysis, or evaluation. In a group setting, students learn by teachingother students. Indeed, research shows that teaching each other in small groups improves studentlearning when compared to traditional lecture-based courses in

conducted trade studies. In the trade studies theylooked at different types of actuators, clamp actuators, injection methods, machine orientation, and machineoperation. Within each section they set up a table to compare the options available and set up a scoring system.By using a scoring system, it helped to identify which option would be the best for the application. The scoringwas done on a scale of 1- 4 with 1 being the least favorable and 4 being the most favorable, specifically accordingto their application. A copy of the trade study can be seen in Appendix B. In conjunction with the trade study,they looked to the survey results to see which options the trade studies yielded as the best fit, with whatequipment the educators had access to. For
