Evaluating the Impact of ASU Design Experiences on Student Development

Experiential learning initiatives like ASU’s Devils Invent provide hands-on problem-solving experiences that bridge the gap between theory and practice. This study examines the impact of participation in Devils Invent on student development, comparing participants with a matched control group. Using surveys, interviews, and academic performance data, the research evaluates changes in problem-solving skills, teamwork, and career readiness. The findings will inform best practices for integrating experiential learning into curricula to enhance student outcomes in academic and professional settings.
