She is a second-generation woman engineer. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Service learning in biological and agricultural engineering: Journeys in community engagementService learning has a long history in biological and agricultural engineering involving academicstudent learning outcomes attainment that occurs through hands-on projects implemented in andfor the community. Best practices in engagement between an academic institution and thecommunity are characterized by mutually beneficial relationships, clear inclusion of thecommunity partner's voice, intentional reflection by the students on their experiences, and alonger

noticing a lack ofcontinuity and participation in our student organizations, since students are not physically here inthe department as in previous years. It is unclear still how these networks may be affected, and itmay take several more years to realize some of these unintended consequences of movingstudents away from specific disciplines in that first year.It is also important to ensure the FYE instructors understand the BAE discipline well enough sothat relevant examples and projects are incorporated into the FYE engineering courses. In orderfor this program to receive the college-wide support needed to be successful in its adoption, itwas imperative to assemble a core set of FYE instructors with the breadth necessary to representall

SummerInstitute, the American Academy of Colleges and Universities Project Kaleidoscope and ourinstitutional framework of Engineering Learning (Figure 6) were key to moving forward. Inthese settings, we found supportive colleagues with similar pedagogical philosophies whovalidated our desire to change and offered many concrete ideas for achieving that change.Further, the excellent series of essays titled Transformations (Allen and Tanner, 2009) hasserved as an outstanding resource, with guideposts and specific examples of how to move one’spedagogy toward active learning. We heartily acknowledge that change is an ongoing process.While we have implemented physical design changes to the classroom and we have laid thegroundwork for student-centered learning

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017Design of argumentation techniques for learning engineering staticsThis manuscript reports the progress of a project investigating collective argumentation as astrategy to help students understand the various concepts taught in statics and to develop learningmodules that incorporate this learning strategy. The intent is to reduce the number students whorepeat statics, thereby enhancing the efficiency of time and resources dedicated to the course thatis critical at the University of Georgia where the engineering undergraduate student body hasgrown from 400 students in 2012 to approximately 2000 students. Indirect impacts includeaffecting how students approach material taught in upper division
