from varying academic levels, first-year to finalyear. Students are required to complete weekly reflections which were analyzed to attain insightinto their experience. The study provides insights into how the students attempt to balance theirown learning, project implementation, and community relations and impact while developingsoftware solutions.Introduction Service-learning or community-engaged learning has seen a significant and growing interestwithin engineering and computing education as a means to meet learning outcomes, integrateprofessional preparation into the curriculum, and address human and environmental needs withinour local and global communities. While engineering and computing have been slower than otherdisciplines to adopt

improved commitment to theirstudies [14]. Students taught using active learning gain confidence in their abilities and performbetter on hands on tasks than students taught using lecture only and this learning is reflected inpre-test to post-test performance gains [15]. Active learning can increase student performance inscience, engineering, and mathematics [16]. Active leaning is critical in developing the cognitiveproblem-solving skills used in synthesizing solutions to engineering problems [17]. Project-basedlearning increases student motivation in upper level courses [18].Sousa reports that students experiencing lecture only content delivery retain 5% of the material,when discussions are added to lecture presentations students retain 50% of the

achieve an effective collaborativework, self-regulation, and proactivity [11]. Findings on HCI-SE show how reflection tasksimpact on self-regulation (e.g. in [12]); and how a project teaches about iterative and user-centered design [13]. Instruments for data collecting are focused on student feedbackmonitoring, success in the learning perception by students, and how much the students areself-aware of their learning process [14]. Some results show that learners perceive softwaredevelopment activities as useful and relevant elements for their own learning when HCIfoundations are taught through real-world projects [15].3. Innovation ProposalFigure 1 illustrates the key elements of the innovation proposal. As observed, the advancedSE course has been

previous section, focusing onenvironmental, economic and societal dimensions. Moreover, indirect and systemic effects arenot explicitly addressed in the rubrics.Conducted experienceSustainability postureThe conducted experience reflects a posture around both sustainability and the engineeringdesign fostering it. It is defined as follows. ● There is not a unique or general set of features allowing to declare as sustainable a software product in all scenarios and circumstances. Consequently, during an iterative decision-making process, the goal is analyzing, comparing and choosing by stakeholders, among the different alternatives based on the inherent sustainability trade-offs associated with each engineering solution ● A
