Erik Siggelkoe; Conor Walsh; Holly M. Golecki – Advances in Engineering Education, 2024
While participation in undergraduate research has many benefits for students including increased confidence and persistence in engineering, community college students do not have the same access to research as students at four-year institutions. To address this disparity, we developed a soft robotics-focused undergraduate research lab at a…
