WORKSHOP INFORMATIONProposed Title:Making Engineering Relevant and Making Our Community a Better Place with Service-LearningAbstract: Please provide a concise description that includes the workshop’s learning objectives(maximum 750 characters). The abstract is used on the ASEE website, program materials, andotherK-12 Workshop promotional activities.Many schools engage in community service or service-learning but these are not often connectedto the engineering, math or science. Linking these offers a multitude of opportunities to changethe conversation about STEM, engage the next generation of leaders and make our owncommunities a better place to live. It can also impact the diversity in our classrooms. Thisinteractive workshop engages participants in developing a plan for linking service-learning andSTEM. The Learning Objectives are:1: Describe at least 1 STEM community project2: List at least 3 standards that could be enhanced through service-learning3: Describe how to use reflection to enhance learning4: Describe at least 3 examples of engineering service-learning2015-ASEE-K12-Proposal-Form_EPICS_SL_submit.docx                                        Page 2 of 8                    WORKSHOP PROPOSAL FORM                2015 Annual ASEE K-12 Workshop on Engineering Education             “Authentic Engineering: Representing & Emphasizing the E in STEM”                               Presented by Dassault Systems                                    Saturday, June 13, 2015                                    8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.                                 Sheraton Seattle | Seattle | WAWorkshop Description- Please provide a detailed description of the proposed workshop that, atminimum, explicitly addresses the following (maximum 4,000 characters):         a. Learning objectives         b. Hands-on activities and interactive exercises         c. Materials that participants can take with them         d. Practical application for teachers and outreach staffMany schools engage in community service or service-learning but often miss an enormousopportunity by not connecting service to engineering or STEM topics. Linking communityservice with engineering or STEM can change the conversation about engineering and increaseinterest for students, their parents and the community. Service opportunities are a way tointroduce early engineering into classes from math, science or technology without the cost ofequipping a lab or purchasing expensive equipment. It is also a way to easily engage practicingengineers from the community.This interactive workshop will guide participants through the development of a customized planto make such connections in their own classrooms. It will move rapidly between shortpresentations, readings, small group discussions, plan creations, demonstrations and reflections.The workshop will use reflection as a vital activity and demonstrate its power in STEM relatedservice-learning. The facilitator has conducted over 100 presentations and workshops onengineering and service-learning.Small and large group discussions will be used to generate and refine ideas that can be tried attheir own schools. Each participant will leave with a set of resources and ideas for service-learning projects and sample lesson plans to implement within their own classroom. Participantsshould be ready for active engagement to cover a lot of material in our brief session.The four Learning Objectives for the workshop include:       1: Describe at least 1 community project related to STEM       2: List at least 3 standards that could be enhanced through service-learning       3: Describe how to use reflection to enhance student learning       4: Describe at least 3 examples of engineering service-learningAgenda   • Introductions and overview   • Service-Learning Defined   • Teacher activity - where is the engineering?2015-ASEE-K12-Proposal-Form_EPICS_SL_submit.docx                                        Page 3 of 8                    WORKSHOP PROPOSAL FORM               2015 Annual ASEE K-12 Workshop on Engineering Education            “Authentic Engineering: Representing & Emphasizing the E in STEM”                              Presented by Dassault Systems                                       Saturday, June 13, 2015                                       8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.

Sheraton Seattle | Seattle | WAAuthentic Engineering Connection- Identify and describe how you will explicitly address theways in which your lesson or activity is representative of the processes, habits of mind andpractices used by engineers, or is demonstrative of work in specific engineering fields.i At leastone of those must be within the first four listed, below; i.e., do not only check “other”. Check allthat apply:          Use of an engineering design process that has at least one iteration/improvement          Attention to specific engineering habits of mind          Attention to engineering practices (as described in the NGSS/Framework and as          practiced by engineers)          Attention to specific engineering careers or fields related to the lesson/activity          Other (please describe below)Provide a description of how you will explicitly address these aspects of authentic engineering inyour workshop (maximum 2,000 characters):Service-learning engages students in real needs for real people. The workshop will address theseapproaches and link engineering with service-learning. While service-learning is not traditionalengineering, there is a rapidly growing awareness of how engineering can impact communitiesglobally (e.g. EWB-USA) and locally (e.g EPICS). Participants will be engaged in exploringthese connections and how to make them in their own classrooms. The workshop will equipteachers to engage students authentically in the engineering processes (e.g. NGSS framework)while they develop solutions to local or global needs. The materials will allow teachers to takeback their approach and impact their own classrooms.The engineering habits of the mind will be used and linked with developing solutions to localneeds within a school’s own community. This adds dimension of people and the environment toany design solution, which adds authenticity to the design experience.There is an opportunity to continue to nurture teachers and students to create programs whereengineering is used to address real needs locally. Links will be provided for additional resourcesif they teachers desire to further develop their programs. Within a single session, it is notrealistic to equip them to develop real solutions to local needs. However, that is the opportunity.Participants will be given access to materials and networks of practicing engineers who can helpfacilitate this process.Diversity- This year is the American Society for Engineering Education’s “Year of Action onDiversity.” It is essential that we have a diverse engineering workforce to solve diverseproblems.

Sheraton Seattle | Seattle | WApreK-12 student with high-quality engineering education, drawing on issues of access and equityin the classroom and in the curriculum. Reviewers would like to know how your proposedworkshop will address diversity.Provide a description of how you will explicitly address diversity – e.g., diversity with respect togender/sex, ethnicity or race, special education inclusion, socio-economic status, or LGBT status– in your workshop (maximum 2,000 characters):This workshop addresses a consistent theme of the research on diversity over the last two orthree decades, the context of engineering. Service-learning places the learning explicitly withina context of the local community. A first step in the service-learning process is a communityneeds assessment. This asks the students to identify what matters to them and their families.This approach puts engineering into a context that they care about. It has the opportunity toconnect with underserve populations within urban and rural communities. It can also helpconnect to their families and support networks. Addressing needs within a community in atangible way through an engineering class can send positive messages to the entire communityabout the students, schools and our profession. Additionally, service-learning has the potential tohelp communities increase their own capacity. For example, a high school engineering class canbe designing and building hands-on science activities for a feeder elementary school to enhancethe science education in elementary school. The approach of service-learning explicitly engagesstudents in underserved communities and the reflective components address both technical andhuman aspects of their experiences. These integrate opportunities to address issues of diversitywithin the context of the engineering design.Data from these approaches have shown significant impact on diversity. The EPCS HighProgram had over 40% female and more participants of color than Caucasian in 2013. Purdue’sEPICS Learning Community had 54% female participation in 2014.Are there any online components to the proposal or presentation?
