This approach is in keeping with the KGC mission ofcreating “shareable prosperity” that “seeks to mobilize knowledge to serve men, women,and children living in extremely impoverished conditions through active collaborationwith those people. And it seeks to do this in ways that build bases for sustained inquiryby those men, women and children.” It can be best achieved through the “practice ofethics of care”1.    The Global Engineers’ Education (GEE) course that served as the research setting for thispaper is founded on a decade of work at the KGC at Stanford University aimed atfundamentally understanding the nature of challenges we face in creating shareableprosperity and on developing methods for applying research

In the 2012-2014 study, the Missouri University program evaluatedstudents with a survey before and after the program, along with weekly presentation evaluations.The Missouri study obtained qualitative data through interviews with the participants prior to andafter completion of the REU program. It was also stated that the program seemed to improveyear after year and succeeded in increasing the students’ awareness of additive manufacturing.10Research QuestionsThe research questions that we had in this study were: 1.

Thetransformative experience is a learning experience, after which a student will : 1) apply ideasfrom a course in everyday experience without being required to (also called motivated use); 2)see everyday objects or situations differently, through the lens of the new content (expandedperception); and 3) value the content in a new way because it enriches everyday affectiveexperience (affective value)3. The transformative experience stems from John Dewey’s seminaltheory of experiential learning, and influenced by his work on the value of aestheticexperiences4,5.
