draw out guide values and assumptions in theanalysis portion of this project [11]. We asked guides to describe details of the experience,including what was solidified for them. Interviews were conducted via Skype video conference,and were audio recorded, transcribed, and coded.The first author of this study is a member of the raft guide community and thus benefited fromeasy access to a pool of participants for recruitment. Multiple coders to ensure analysis was notbiased. The first participant was a 30-year-old male who is a high school social studies teacher inthe off-season. He has been guiding for 9 years and has taught numerous guide schools in whichhe trained others to become guides. The second participant was a female in her early 20’s

byadaptation.In an ideal setting, participants in a transdisciplinary project would have immediate feedback onthe effects of their actions. They would then adapt through small-scale experimentation and learnfrom the results [33]. For example, in the theoretical project on water catchment, participantsmay have a theory that water features with sustainable gardens would lead to greater sense ofcommunity and less crime. This theory could be tested with a prototype project and inquiry intochanges into the sense of community. The feedback would lead to further adjustments. Assuggested by Waddock et al.’s [9], an adaptive evaluation framework would adhere to theheuristics to “prioritize learning in the context of constant change,...work with co-evolution

While student facilitators were not initially included in the NSFITEST proposal, their engagement in the classroom provides extra hands to support the activitieswhile serving as an engineering role model to the 6th grade students and teachers. All of thestudents volunteering for the program are pursuing degrees in engineering or science- andtechnology-related fields.

In the 2017-18 academicyear, EPICS recognized four partners for their work and three of them started with the programin the 1990’s showing the longevity of the partnership model.Support StructureDedicated staff support has been put in place to assist the faculty involved and allow the programto engage more students and community partners. The program is designed to make it easier forfaculty to be engaged.
