. This course enhanced my awareness of professional ethics and responsibility. This course helped me develop my ability to identify and acquire new knowledge as part of the problem. Assistance is available inside and outside lab. Course Support The content of the lectures and skill sessions were relevant to the course. The lab facilities supported my team’s needs.Quantitative evaluation have always focused on specific course/program objective but the specificquestions changed slightly. Table 2 shows the original questions and the percentage of studentsrating the course with an A or B grade for each objective, accumulated over the first 15

designed to contextualize the experience in a wider,transferable sense [3].Rupnow et al. [4] stated that engineering programs have, “increasingly begun to incorporateservice-learning into their coursework.” ([4] p. 4) The contextualizing of engineering in light ofreal world application, engagement, and service, whereby there is a real partner in the work thatis being done, has been connected to students’ consideration of the real-life complexities thataccompany any engineering challenge. These real-life complexities influence designs,approaches, and dynamics of a task [5]. Additionally, engineering as a field recognizes itscommitment to social responsibility as identified explicitly in their Code of Ethics, “...engineering has a direct and vital

-raffle like system. Another food pantrywanted to utilize their storage space more efficiently, so the engineering students drafted a 3Dblueprint to redesign the storage layout; during their discussion with their agency liaison,students realized that in order to make the change, funding would be a problem, so the groupbrainstormed and proposed a capital campaign to raise the fund for their solution. Through themultidisciplinary collaboration and communication with the community partners, students werepushed to design solutions that were ethical, technically sound, and financially feasible. Research showed our pilot year project was a success in engaging students withsatisfactory learning outcomes, but the project’s open-ended problem

with the hope that students would also: Develop educational materials and hands-on STEM activities as a service to the community Develop project/time management, organizational, and leadership skills. Develop effective listening/collaboration skills while working with community partners. Recognize and understand ethical responsibilities of engineers.Course History:This course was created in 2014 and was, initially, a two-unit course that served as a vehicle forthe outreach, discussions with partner liaisons, and assignments. Soon after, one to two “lunch andlearns” were included each quarter to provide a more convenient avenue for guest speakers anddiscussions. In 2015, the course took on its current three-unit format with a lecture and a

their own philosophies, heritages, and educational processes. Indigenous knowledge fills the ethical and knowledge gaps in Eurocentric education, research, and scholarship (p. 5).This excerpt from Battiste provides a better understanding of how Indigenous knowledge is notonly complementary to the Western conceptualization of science, but it is also a way of life.Indigenous knowledge does not separate the individual from the history, culture, andsurroundings (e.g., the context). Western science and knowledge, on the other side, try toseparate the object (science) from the subject (the scientist). Thus, Western science rhetoric hascreated a false perception of objectivity and neutrality while perpetuating the idea that science,and

which offer inclusive learning opportunities for all participants. Whilechallenges exist, the class will continue to evolve and hopefully the partnerships will continue tobe meaningful to all involved.I. IntroductionOne primary purpose of higher education in engineering is to prepare engineering students fortheir future world of engineering practice. Recently, this purpose has required engineeringeducators to shift our thinking towards preparing students specifically as engineers who emergefrom college ready to participate as active and effective members of a global society [​1​], [​2​].Haag, et al. [​3​] observe that the “current work environment requires engineers to be globalcitizens, as well as aspirational, ethical leaders” and mimics
