The tribe decided against this quick-fix approach, instead choosing to rely on the beaver as a resident ecological engineer. For STEM education researchers working with tribal communities, it is essential that the curriculum be grounded in tribal culture and values. The community's desire is that their youth be prepared to stand in two worlds: one in one in which tribal values are fully honored and on in which they apply the best practices of western STEM knowledge.ConclusionEngaging tribal communities in education is critical to validate theoretical research, whichrecommends culturally relevant STEM experiences to inspire student

It seemed that beingable to process together was as important as the content shared in these sessions.While the pandemic caused disruption in many projects, it also provided motivated students towork in creative new ways. A benefit of the move to online is that the students could not tinkerand figure things out, but instead had to thoroughly plan and execute their projects. It presentedthe opportunity for students to engage in more analyses. Test plans were developed.

She trusted our adjustment and allowed us to be innovative in our approach.” (Catherine van Blommestein, CBED student)Directly from the CBED student perspective, students have been very proud of their projectaccomplishments and their community impact.

These components are aimed to introduce and teach students the concepts ofhumanitarian engineering through a practical, real-world, hands-on experience. During the firststage, the students assess needs in collaboration with in-country partners, and then research,design, develop, prototype, test and document their chosen projects. In the second stage, thestudents implement and execute these projects. Finally, the students evaluate their designs anddocument their results as well as make recommendations for future

A best-practice, therefore, is build more time into courses forservant-leadership projects than is typically given for conventional projects.To further place negative aquaponics miniature project comments in context, it is helpful tocompare this project against design-and-build projects selected by instructors in previousofferings of this thermodynamics course.
