Evidence of the increasingacceptance includes the creation of the ASEE Community Engagement Division. While thereare many examples of success, most are driven by individual faculty or small groups and thereare few examples of large scale implementation of engagement. For community engagement toachieve its potential, models that can be replicated or adapted and integrated into the fabric of theinstitutions must be developed. There is still skepticism about service-learning as noted in the2014 ASEE report [4]. It

The course taught these topicsconcurrently, with two lectures a week designated for building code and design topics and onelecture each week focused on the drafting software. The projects allowed the two disparateelements of the course (building design and drafting tools) to be combined.

However, despite evidencepointing to deeper learning and development of critical thinking skills when enough opportunityfor reflection is included in service-learning [2]-[3], reflection is not widely used in engineering[3]. This study describes the incorporation of service-learning into an existing group project in anundergraduate mechanical engineering measurements lab at the University of Miami in the fallsemester of 2017, and how

First of all, there is a need to attract amore diverse population of students into the field. Whether a surplus or shortage [1] of STEMworkers exist to meet the future demands, it is clear that there is still a need to attract a morediverse group of students into these fields. Certainly, attracting a more diverse group of workerswould help ensure that the pool includes the brightest and could ultimately lead to

“engineering is not just engineering”, the course is an attempt to recognize the importance of theunderstanding that engineers are responsible for the social change that their profession creates.Traditional engineering courses typically focus on the development of technical skills but oftenfail to help students develop the professional or “soft” skills that engineers need today and to createa sense of social responsibility [1]. It was very important to the instructional team that studentsdevelop the needed cultural awareness and that they would be inspired to use their technical skillsto practice social entrepreneurship with the intention of making a difference in their communitiesand society at large.

A robotics service learning [1] course at Fairfield University teaches theprinciples of robotics through hands-on activities and requires each student to participate in amentoring relationship with a local high school robotics team. These types of programs havebeen implemented at other universities [2-5]. Through these relationships, students gain a deeperunderstanding of the principles of robotics from the classroom, through teaching those principlesto others and helping their mentored team solve problems.

At its best, service learningallows an opportunity to bridge technical education in the classroom to practice. Additionally, itencourages student development of communication skills, leadership, critical thinking, activelearning, and cultural understanding [1]. These skills learned through service learning benefitstudents upon graduating, as they will be expected to interact with people from diversebackgrounds in order to solve complex problems.

These methods employ an iterative approach and focus on incorporating dataabout stakeholder needs and socio-economic constraints before conceptualizing the technicalconsiderations that normally dominate engineering design thinking (Thomsen 2013). The HCDapproach begins by asking “Who are the stakeholdersof this project?” and “What do these stakeholderswant/need?” (International Development Enterprises2011:7).
