The citizens in the community beganwith no prior expertise and some without a high school education. Their research forced the stateof Tennessee to take action and end the illegal dumping. As the cleanup progressed, thecommunity members became not only citizen scientists, but also citizen engineers as theyprovided input into design processes for environmental remediation.21While the use of the word citizen is clearly problematic in the term citizen science or citizenengineering because of its connotations of national citizenship, we chose

This method differs from the traditional case study approachbecause the students do not just read what is written, but can ask initial questions and ask follow-up questions to get a better understanding of what is important by the inflection of the mentor’svoice and hearing the mentor convey it in his/her own words.This research is for the purpose of sharing best practice with other instructors and understandingthe key factors to the program’s success.

Within this practice is arecognition of the role that systems play in societal functioning while accounting for how humanbehavior and social organizations contribute to and affect the performance of a given system.When students are taught this perspective of infrastructure, they are often more proficient in theirefforts to incorporate all of the stakeholders in the development and implementation of thefacilities and processes they are asked to study.For example, if a student were asked to research and write about the impacts of an aging

For example, the3D breadboard software can progressively decrease the feedback provided to learners so thatthey have the help they need early in practice but are not hindered as they prepare for thetransition. Both the 2D simulation and the 3D breadboard software can also facilitate thetransition by requiring similar procedures to what is necessary in the physical environment.
