In the followup study we showed that by the end of the program students believed they were better preparedfor success in graduate school, two students co-authored publications from their projects, and themajority were enrolled in a graduate program2. Here we share data across our first two cohortswhich expands our outcomes associated with graduate school preparation and studentperceptions of the REU SITE program.

attainment in science, technology, engineering, andmath (STEM) fields is an issue of both national and student-level importance [2], [3]. On amacro level, STEM graduates are needed to fill a projected deficit of employees with thenecessary knowledge and skills to perform key STEM roles [2]; on a micro level, many fewerstudents leave college with a STEM degree than entered with the goal of STEM degreeattainment [3]. The psychological construct of self-efficacy, or an individual’s belief in theirown ability to perform the behaviors necessary to achieve a desired outcome [4], is an importantdimension in this discussion. If self-efficacy is key to broad goal attainment, STEM self-efficacy(i.e., a sense of self-efficacy within the STEM domain) is an

University-Corpus Christiwere affected during the COVID-19 pandemic and were moved online. As a result. most labshad to be modified to allow students to take them remotely and even today many courses stillhave online sections at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. To support online or off-campuslearning, students would be able to check out an IoT kit. The IoT learning kits provide theopportunity for remotely learning students to engage with hands-on learning. Thus, students gaina better understanding of IoT concepts and technologies and how they might be integrated intotheir capstone projects. The assignments reported in the rest of this paper provide an opportunityfor students to learn how to incorporate IoT and are part of IoT related research

. In the broader context of education and overall student confidence andachievement, it is shown that, “the families of academically successful students view their family as asource of mutual emotional support and connectedness” [5].This connectedness is provided by quality time, emotional support, approval, reassurance in times ofdistress, clear communication, and collaborative problem-solving. Taking these factors into consideration,the benefits of incorporating an intergenerational aspect into an engineering engagement project becomeclear. Workshops and projects, directly and indirectly, generate many opportunities for collaborativeproblem-solving and teachable moments.

However, it is unclear how well educational programs match industryexpectations in terms of maintaining this balance and preparing future mechatronic professionals.As part of a larger NSF-funded project, educational opportunities across the United States werecompared to surveyed industry expectations for six categories of mechatronic skills. Acomparison of the distribution of skills instructed across categories showed that educationalinstitutions cover
Education, 2023 Closing the Gap between Industry and Academia via Student Teams SupportAbstractA well-known challenge in engineering education is the attempt to balance the demands of industryrecruitment with the core needs of an already packed engineering curriculum. Due to timeconstraints, real-world examples and other learning opportunities that aim to develop andconsolidate the industry-desirable skills can be difficult to include in the curriculum. One way toaddress this challenge is to collaborate with industry (for example, on capstone projects, studentteam challenges, etc.) while the students are still studying. A place for these collaborations, whichcan provide benefit for both parties, is through student competitions. Student
