community members. Even as students have good intentions, there is atendency to focus on what seems solvable over what community members indicate are priorities.This is a result of years of outcomes-focused, over relational, educational practices. In theabsence of meaningful relationships, it is easy to lose sight of the purpose of communityengagement. Technologies that students create do not serve the needs of community partners,and community partners suffer as a result.At the same time, engineers’ desire to help and strong work ethic lend themselves well toworking on issues of social justice [3]. In recent years, critical pedagogy has influenced service-learning programs as educators have attempted to engage the action-reflection

. Dating back to the 1960s, researchershave explored the theoretical characterization of intercultural competence and the effectivenessof varying classroom practices [24]. More recently, various researchers have explored theefficacy of CEL and research immersion experiences. Research shows that teachers learn tonavigate complex, intercultural encounters through challenging CEL experiences promoting,“reflective, critical and ethical practices” [25].Since international engineering CEL has the potential benefit to both increase interculturalawareness, while also demonstrating engineering as a career that helps humanity, engagingteachers in this type of experience may prepare them to encourage and inspire their students,particularly females and other

The reflection should becontinuous throughout project, that is, it should happen before, during, and after the experience.The connection component should link the service experience to the course curriculum. Thereflection should challenge students to engage with current issues, while also contextualizing thework in a way that fits the specific project. Finally, coaching is necessary for supporting studentsintellectually, emotionally and academically.Student reflections can also be useful tools for the

But in doing so, what should the guiding principles of students’behavior with communities be?4. Theory 2: How should engineers behave with communities?In a different writing, we have shown how engineering ethics benefit the relationships thatengineers have with corporate employers while not serving as appropriate guides in theirrelationship with communities. [22] To overcome the limitations of engineering ethics (the codesand the forms in which they are taught), we developed a set of criteria for socially responsibleengineering (SRE), which I highlight here with examples of how students began developingthese

likely due to the fast pace of the program, the time that isspent in the lab and in the field at forty hours per week and working with new people and their own uniquepersonalities and work ethic that may not mesh with their own. For example, some student mentor pairings have notbeen ideal. Personality clash can be a problem for some students that are more sensitive than others. So, changes inmentors have been made mid program for a couple of students. These changes did work out much better in the endbut was still a challenge to face.In order to help with the stress that arises during the program, the new workshops are being developed that will teachthe students new methods for dealing with stress.
