Paper ID #7284Public Works Projects as Vehicles for Engineering Education and OutreachMs. Shannon Weiss, David Heil & Associate, Inc. Shannon Weiss is a project coordinator and specializes in the design and implementation of evaluation and market research projects related to DHA’s core areas of emphasis in science, engineering, health, and environmental education; and institutional strategic and business planning. Her work serves a range of academic institutions, government agencies, corporations and non-profit enterprises including projects funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of
encourage the engineering profession to see all “ways of knowing” (especially those that are community-based and/or non-technical) as valued and integral parts of the community-based design process? What are best practices in terms of teaching our students and ourselves the critical importance of contextual listening? How do we use our engineering skills to tackle complex societal problems?Conclusion: lessons learned as a community-engaged faculty memberWhen I first ventured into service-learning, I had outcomes for my students in mind. I waslooking at the research compiled by Eyler and Giles (1999) which showed that service-learningresulted in deeper understanding of course content and an increased ability to apply

projects.There are a variety of approaches to outreach, but those that involve undergraduate engineeringstudents accomplish two goals: 1) encouraging more K12 students to consider engineering bybreaking stereotypes, and 2) involving the undergraduate engineering students in meaningfulcommunity engagement, which they will hopefully continue throughout their careers. There are several reasons that involving undergraduates in outreach is particularlyeffective, primarily because they can break the stereotypes of engineers that most K12 studentshave in their minds. Obama administration officials have met with business executives andschool deans in order to better understand the barriers to creating more engineers, which wereidentified as scientists
