RIT is required for most incoming freshmen each year.Students that fail to successfully complete the first course in the introductory sequence (i.e.withdraw or receive a grade of D or lower) are at risk for late graduation, and a high percentageof such students end up leaving the college or university. During the Fall 2018 semester, anexperiment was conducted involving 4 of the 13 sections of the course (34% of the enrolledstudents). For this experimental group, active learning was incorporated into what wastraditionally a passive learning lecture approach. Active learning was chosen based on its successin increasing outcomes for students in STEM fields [1]. The goal of the experiment was toreduce what has historically been one of the highest

highly valuedby the students. They all recognized it as a benefit for the software development process. Itwas also noticed that the activities proposed were good triggers for the self-regulated learningof the expected course content, both SE and HCI. The authors are interested in receivingfeedback about the continuity of this work, particularly in the understanding of how thecontent of HCI interacts with a proposal based on project-based learning (PBL).1. IntroductionCurrently, universities are being asked to train professionals, who are capable of acting in achanging world with new emerging problems. A scenario of these characteristics requires atype of training, in which creative and innovative processes, teamwork skills, tolerance tofailure

was usedas a tool for analyzing and comparing different software systems designs. Based on theconducted experience, undergraduate students faced a challenge for identifying the impacts ofsoftware systems beyond a short-term time window, while graduate students were better able toidentify potential impacts beyond first-order – short term time horizons. Learned lessons areshared for the sake of repeatability.Tags: sustainability, Karlskrona Manifesto, Software Engineering, capstone design.Introduction and paper goalAt 1987, The Brundtland Commission Report [1] defined sustainable development as meetingthe needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their ownneeds.

will require both time andresources and lean towards hiring experienced professionals to reduce both cost and time. In areport from Training magazine report in 2007, training turns out to be one of the costliestinvestments a company can make as companies spent an average of over $1,200 annually peremployee for 32 hours of training per year (in 2005) [1]. For some companies, especially thosenoted for their high turnover clearly training cannot be justified as training an employee at$1,500 per year of training can be a major expense if the company’s profit per employee is lessthan $1,500 [2]. To reduce costs Spark, (2018) suggests recruiting only the most skilledemployees, retaining them for as long as possible and using performance reviews to

the pedagogy, there are many examples of successful programs inengineering [1-5] and computing [6]. The pedagogy has been integrated into many disciplinesand has shown to enhance learning, motivation, retention and diversity and in particular withinengineering and computing education [7-13]. In the U.S., students have initiated numerouschapters of Engineers Without Borders U.S.A. (200+), Engineers for a Sustainable World (30+),and Engineering World Health (20+). One of the newest and fastest growing divisions of theAmerican Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) is the Community Engagement Division.EPICS in IEEE is a signature program of the IEEE Foundation. The U.S. National Academy ofEngineering included community-based programs in their
