In the former situation, many educational institutions can afford lab equipment such as electroniccomponents and large laboratory workplaces. However, there are instances where purchasing expensive equipment for learningis not a viable option. In the latter case, learning about the geological features of a place such
finances as well aslocation of the institution. Intercity campuses face very different challenges when it comes toexpansion compared to rural campuses, and the low frequency of 1’s in the responses suggestthere might not be straightforward strategies to overcoming this obstacle.Of the 19 statements that were rated with a score of 4 or 5 with a frequency of 29% or greater,statement 48, which deals with independent access to laboratories by students, is the only onewhere no one responded with a 5. These results suggest that while independent access forstudents is a concern, it is not one of the most pressing concerns for new programs. This may betied to availability of resources related to running an academic makerspace, including differentmodels

Research suggests thatABET outcomes be taught through traditional lecture courses, laboratory courses, and project-based learning such as capstone and cornerstone projects [4]. Some ABET outcomes, forexample 3,4, 5, and 7 (as denoted in Table 1), can be perceived as less technical, focusing onabilities such as communicating “effectively with a range of audiences”, functioning “effectivelyon a team”, and recognizing “ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situationsand [making] informed judgements” [1]. Supporting ABET’s teaming outcomes, research showsthat to succeed in industry, engineers must have multidisciplinary teaming skills, such as

Unlike many other academic institutions, incoming USAFAstudents are not accepted to a college or school associated with a major’s program (e.g., Collegeof Engineering). USAFA has nine institutional outcomes, and one is devoted to all graduatesbeing able to apply the engineering method. To meet this outcome, all students take fiveengineering courses as a part of the general education curriculum regardless of their major. Theearly general education engineering courses present an opportunity to recruit undeclared studentsinto engineering during their first year.Field Engineering and Readiness Laboratory ContextIn

The C-Rboxes were built for a nominal cost of $60 per box, using a 20” box fan, four 20”x20”x2”MERV-13 filters, the box from the fan, and duct tape. The project was carried out by smallgroups (3-4 students) working in the First-Year Design Laboratory over four weeks. At the endof the project, the C-R boxes were distributed to the local elementary schools. During the pandemic, these first-year engineering students had completed their final yearin high school remotely, under lockdown. Thus, this C-R box
