Student outcomes are targeted in accordance with ABETrequirements (see Table 1) for baccalaureate degree programs and emphasize application ofmechanical engineering skills, design, communication, testing, and teamwork. The long-termcommunity partner relationship facilitates learning continuity as students build on workcompleted by earlier teams, refining design concepts while tackling new challenges. The coursehas also provided opportunities for students to continue their work over the summer and aftergraduation. One example project sequence includes developing a structure to enable

The overarching aim of the course sequence is to preparestudents for the multidisciplinary, multicultural environment that they will experience upon entering theworkforce.The swiftly changing world has inspired a review of how engineering courses are preparing students forthe globalizing workforce (1-4). Engineers will engage with others with diverse backgrounds involvingeducation, culture, language, and experiences (3). This will require skills beyond the technicalcompetencies students gain from their traditional coursework and include intercultural and social skills(2).The Global

c Society for Engineering Education, 2021Engagement in Practice: Pedestrian Bridges as Engineering Service-Learning ProjectsBackground and MotivationNearly one billion people live in communities that do not have consistent, year-round access toall-weather roads, which provide access to schools, employment, or health care [1]. The existingroad networks in communities are fragmented due to rivers, which swell and become impassablefor weeks to months. This rural isolation, or lack of consistent access to essential services, is aroot cause of poverty worldwide, which can be alleviated through simple pedestrian bridges. InNicaragua, it was measured that with a footbridge, income from wages increased 18% andconsumption-equivalent

central component of the value for the community partners. Thisdiffers from many of the early adopters of service-learning, where the service was typicallydefined as time spent within the community or in the partner organization [1]. Nearly 90% of thestudents studied in Where’s the Learning in Service-Learning [2] were from placement-basedapproaches. It is not surprising, therefore, that many of the models for community-engagedlearning were designed with placement-based approaches in mind. While such models can beuseful in engineering, they lack the context of the project experience that adds dimensions notaddressed in earlier models. A project deliverable is central to many engineering experiences,while the project process, including activities

computer science workforce is needed to meet the technical and creative challenges ofthe 21st century [1, 2]. Looking to the future, there will be many jobs in computing in the UnitedStates—more jobs than can be filled based on the current graduation rates in computer science[3]. In order to develop early interest and intention to persist in computing, there is a need forfree, accessible computing experiences for K-12 students so that they become familiar withcomputer science and understand its broad applications and inherent creativity [4]. Examiningmiddle and high school computing experiences specifically, students may be digitally literate(i.e. operate computing devices fearlessly and with fluency) while still having preconceived fearsand

Engineers’ decision making during the design process of these products usuallyentails considering conflicting interests.

. Quantitative and Qualitative Risk InflationSince the 1970s the literature on risk and its challenges has ballooned. Literature (and risk work)is commonly parsed into categories dealing with the practices and problematics of (1) riskidentification, (2) risk assessment, (3) risk management, and (4) risk communication. In all cases,however, risk issues are mostly assumed to be bounded: that is, to apply only to particularprojects, locations, processes, or people. Concerns about the Cold War risks of thermonuclearwarfare broke the boundaries to consider more comprehensive or catastrophic, global risks: inthe famous phrase of engineer physicist and military strategist Herman Kahn [1], it forced“thinking about the unthinkable.” Although nuclear related

Engineers, by definition, engage in problem solving on aregular basis, which has been identified as one of the 21st century skills [2]. However, researchhas shown that the problem types engineering students and practitioners solve differ [3], [4].Engineering students are typically given well-structured (also known as well-defined) problems,which have pre-defined solutions. They are used to reinforce recent course material covered inclass, and are heavily in a written and well-documented form.

Notably, while engineering judgment has been an implicit component of curricula formany years, little research has been done to date to define more concretely what the term meansor how students develop engineering judgement in undergraduate education.

Craft and Harlow [2]observed increased requests from graduate students for scholarly communicationstraining in a variety of topics, with the top choices being “publishing tips” and“post-dissertation publishing” [3]. This demand for training reflects the need amongstudents for guidance in navigating the publication process.

As relative novices in the complicated, often opaque arena of academicpublishing, many of these students struggle with the task and would benefit fromguidance
