/writing across the curriculum (WID/WAC) style course that isrequired for all graduates from his institution’s systems engineering undergraduate program. Roughly, theoverall objective of this course is to engage students in policy-relevant analysis related to criticalinfrastructure systems. The analytical tools studied in the course include: risk analysis, uncertaintyanalysis, benefit-cost analysis, and multi-criteria decision analysis. The principal learning objectives ofthe course are: • To decompose the design or operational objectives of an infrastructure system into fundamental objectives that can guide relevant decision-making processes. • To formulate and evaluate infrastructure system projects of the students’ choice that

' personal and professional lives.In addition to the durable skills they gained, students who traveled to Malawi reported anadditional impact of EWB-UD on their career plans. Both current and previous studentsdescribed their involvement as a catalyst for interest in service-oriented careers, with alumni ofthe program pursuing the Peace Corps, global engineering graduate programs, and employmentrelated to water access.RecommendationsThe literature and survey results support the finding that student project ownership, an effectiveleadership structure, and international travel contribute to meaningful student learning. Inaddition, there are elements of the project that have created unique experiences for engineeringstudents. EWB-UD members consider the

professional integrity.The time commitment was a challenge for me personally due to a variety of emergent personaland professional commitments. In future projects, having scribe support would be helpful toreduce the number of contact hours needed for the industry representative. One idea would be topair a student with an engineer that is working in industry, have the student do one or a fewworking sessions to discuss a single case and a resulting decision tree, and to then present asummary of the instance and the solution to their peers. This would allow a faculty member togather case studies, would make it easier to find industry contributors due to the decreased timecommitment, and would give engineering students a deeper understanding of at least

innovation concern included: • ABET doesn’t approve classes. They approve programs so there is room for faculty innovation. • Mechanical engineering criteria developed by ASME EAC and ETAC Commission members are broadly defined, leaving opportunity to supplement coursework as needed without the risk of negative impact on a certain criterion. • Ensuring students have flexibility in their program is key. Mechanical engineering electives are free electives that can be taken in business, public policy, education, and sciences, which allows additional room for innovation in the electives portion of the program. • Personalize the learning experience for students to meet their goals and fill the skills gap
