AB  - A semester long project in a second semester, first year engineering course was developed to provide students an open-ended, collaborative opportunity. Using the 14 National Academy of Engineers Grand Challenges, students initially investigate and found quantitative information (data) related to a grand challenge. Students are provided peer mentors (undergraduate teaching assistants) and asynchronous learning modules to support narrowing the topic, identifying the challenge and information they want to present, and find data.  The goal for each project is to develop a MATLAB App that that allows the user to interact with the data and learn about the grand challenge. With regular weekly checkpoints, students are asked to develop each component, receive and address feedback, and reflect individually on their work.  Since MATLAB App involves various components, each group member has ownership of a specific component on the interface with the group goal of making sure they integrate.  Since MATLAB is taught as part of this second semester, first year courses, the program language and interface are a natural extension of the knowledge they are using regularly in class. Finally, students communicate their project in the form of a final poster. As part of an introduction to the UH Grand Challenge Scholars Program, the top groups from each section are selected to present their project at a Grand Challenge Summit in a Student Poster Session. The final student reflections, use Likert scale to rate their own learning in various objectives indicating a strong student experience and development in key areas such as data literacy, engineering context, and problem solving.
