. BCe2 is made up of a diverse group of studentsand faculty from area high schools and colleges, community groups, local businesses, and theCity of South Bend through the Metro Lab Network (MLN) partnership. The SoutheastNeighborhood is used as a sandbox of innovation to develop feasibility studies, designs, andprototypes for urban natural resource management, sustainable placemaking projects, and data-driven community development solutions. BCe2 operates under two driving goals: 1) to advancethe theory and knowledge of educational environments that contribute to building andstrengthening all levels of the high school to graduate school pipeline in science, technology,engineering and math (STEM) fields, and 2) to develop a collaborative

While both concepts describesimilar methods, they differ in the prioritization of relevant factors. Design thinking’s moststriking

Several research and capstone projectsaimed at improving efficiency and reducing operational costs at the food bank are summarized.Then, opportunities for expanding the scope and impact of the research agenda are discussed.Specifically, these opportunities focus on interdisciplinary collaborations centered on the use ofsustainable urban agriculture as a means to increase access to fresh produce within theemergency food network, improve health outcomes for socially disadvantaged people, revitalizeneighborhoods, and alleviate urban poverty. Finally, plans to incorporate formal assessment andreflective activities related to community engaged learning are presented.1

The population of homeowners served are those most at risk forremaining in their homes and are those in need. Most are at risk and are in need because they aresubsisting on a fixed income, whose buying power continues to fall over time, and who live at orbelow the poverty level. Many also have medical bills that consume much of their income, whichforces them to put off needed home repairs and modifications. This population generally includesbut is not limited to senior citizens, the disabled, families with children, single parenthouseholds, and veterans.

Each partnership falls into at least one of the three types of networksdescribed by Kenway, Espstein, and Boden (2005). Figure 1 depicts the breakdown of TAP’spartners within its network.

Water analysis for this first design was notperformed.Based on feedback, student in the 2011-12 GEO course worked with several faculty membersand a water laboratory manager from the local city to develop an improved water filter. Thedesign involved a single 13-gallon trash can to remove the need for multiple buckets and toprovide better stability on the islands. This time, 0.5 to 1-inch diameter gravel (1 ¼ inches high),1-5 mm diameter course sand (1 ¼ inches high), and 0.15-0.3 mm diameter fine sand (13 incheshigh) were used. The effective filtration height was similar to the 2010-11 design. Sand waswashed and separated using mesh and washing techniques. Three filters were built with severalof the islanders.

While the rubric was designed to allowfor assessment of a variety of project types, it has only been applied to civil engineering studentdesign projects.5The rubric includes two four-point rating scales to aid evaluators in judging capstone reportsbased on the 16 sustainable design criteria. The earned points scale [0-3] captures the extent towhich students consider each sustainable design criterion in their capstone projects. Evaluatorsassign a score of 0 to projects that show no evidence of incorporating the design criterion, whilea score of 3 is assigned if the project shows evidence of extensive criterion application.

demographics and trends in the labor market continue to remain an unwaveringissue. Currently, there is a demand in the U.S. to produce qualified students, both at the K-12 andpostsecondary levels with suitable STEM transferable skills and a knack for scientificexploration and innovation through engineering design to aid in the growth and enrichment ofthe U.S.’s economy. In 2004, the National Science Foundation noted that half of the economicgrowth within the U.S. over the past 50+ years is credited to the scientific innovation of theSTEM workforce, which represents a minute 5% of the overall U.S. workforce.1 In order to strengthen the K-12 STEM pipeline and workforce, investments in outreachand student development are continually being

launching thebadge to a national audience.1. Introduction and BackgroundAccording to the analysis of US Census Data over the past 50 years performed by the AmericanAssociation of University Women, there has been a steady increase in the number of femalesentering the workforce in STEM fields. In the life sciences, female representation in the USworkforce has increased 25-31% since 1960; but there has only been an 11% increase in femalesin engineering fields in the same period [1]. In 2014, only 7% of all mechanical engineers in theUS workforce were females [2]. It is evident that the representation of females in engineering islow, and that the gender gap is persistent.What are the strategies for closing this gender gap? Research has shown that

Additionally, community members areinvited to tap their own trees and contribute the sap to the syrup making efforts.Community engagement programs in higher education have grown significantly in popularity inrecent years[1].

Test group 3 used the tool to only examine and understandanimations created by teachers. The students in Group 1 performed better than students inGroups 2 and 3. Results of this study showed that the design method combined with peerevaluation of animation by students was a successful way to use animations for teachingpurposes (Chang et al., 2010).In our previous research paper, we reported our intention to develop a prototype for anadaptive learning system (ALS) to raise STEM interest in middle school students (Islam,Shankar, Freytag, and Serrano, 2015).

Nine principles for effective design for thedeveloping world have been have been identified.8 Several of the principles include: 1) co-designing with people from the developing world, 2) testing the product in the actual setting, 3)developing technology within the appropriate developing world context, and 4) using projectmanagement techniques adapted to the developing world context.

, and to what extent are they interested in impact-driven work?2.2 Impact-Driven Interest as a Career ChoiceThere are many capacities in which one may address societal challenges, e.g. as a volunteer,employee, and/or founder. To narrow the scope, the current study explores how engineeringundergraduates consider addressing societal challenges as a career choice.In the early 1990’s Robert Lent proposed a model of career choice called Social CognitiveCareer Theory (SCCT, see Figure 1) that provides a framework for understanding, explaining,and predicting the processes through which people develop occupational choice (Lent & Brown,2006; Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994). The SCCT model has been shown to be useful inpredicting career choice

During the game-based intervention, the children played the game and alsotook a shower on their own in their home’s shower room as the skill of showeringnaturally occurred in that location. In the maintenance phase, the game training waswithdrawn and the children took the shower independently.The game was called Take a Shower! and was designed according to an analysis of the25 identified steps for taking a shower.
