Over 50 students (high school andcollege) participated in the three regions in the Midwest in a community engaged internshipexperience during the summer of 2022. Students worked on project teams of 4-6 students on acommunity-identified project for 8 weeks. Local high school teachers managed projects andcommunity partners served as technical mentors as students completed their paid internship,which culminated with a formal presentation and product to their community partner.

While capacity is defined in amultitude of ways, it can be thought of as a community’s ability to counteract vulnerability andsusceptibility brought about by adverse circumstances (Amadei, 2020). Resiliency, on the otherhand, can be thought of as changes in capacity and the ability

Through an undergraduate researchexperience, a total of 48 water samples were taken from the Mill River around Ball Island andone upstream control. Samples were analyzed using GC-MS (gas chromatography–massspectrometry) after a hexane extraction following ASTM D5175-91. Mass spectra wereevaluated in comparison to known standards to determine whether PCBs were present. PCBlevels were below detection limits (0.14 to 1.10 ng/L) for all samples.

After theinitial introduction, workshop participants were divided into five groups based on their teachingrole and grade level. A human-centered design approach was then used to guide a series of groupactivities, which focused mainly on connecting all stakeholders to create better support betweenservice-learning project developers (university students) and receivers (K–12 students).

Students who support communityengagement initiatives such as volunteering related to their discipline, gain applicable experienceand advocate for their careers [5].Service learning is one type of community service in which projects are assigned within astudent’s curriculum [6].

Engineering curricula tend to be packed with heavy course loads thatinvolve problem and lab/project-heavy courses, fast-paced courses with significant theoreticalcontent to master, significant homework and exam requirements, and, often, heightenedcompetition among students. Moreover, engineering courses tend to have strict pre-requisiteand grade requirements that may mandate grades of C or higher to pass, which make theconsequence of failing a
