learning by the university, smaller experiencesthat do not last the majority of a semester are still valuable. For example, Attanayake foundthat the incorporation of a three-week service learning project into an introductory mathematicscourse had a measurable impact on students [20]. Construction management students whoparticipated in 10-day service-learning class acknowledged a “responsibility to use their gifts tomake the world a better place” after visiting Ecuador [21]. Our college is currently exploringopportunities to utilize guest speakers with knowledge of needs in the community to developshort-duration, service learning projects.BIBLIOGRAPHY: 1. J. S. Eyler, D.

byadaptation.In an ideal setting, participants in a transdisciplinary project would have immediate feedback onthe effects of their actions. They would then adapt through small-scale experimentation and learnfrom the results [33]. For example, in the theoretical project on water catchment, participantsmay have a theory that water features with sustainable gardens would lead to greater sense ofcommunity and less crime. This theory could be tested with a prototype project and inquiry intochanges into the sense of community. The feedback would lead to further adjustments. Assuggested by Waddock et al.’s [9], an adaptive evaluation framework would adhere to theheuristics to “prioritize learning in the context of constant change,...work with co-evolution

Tech PREPengages female students starting in the sixth grade and continues for three years.The graduates of the TechPREP‟s program are then invited to participate in a newprogram called STEM Tech. Subsequent to finishing STEM Tech they are invitedto join the High School WISE program. Our ultimate goal is to provide a supportstructure that will follow them through middle and high school and ultimatelythrough college.The College WISE program is a multifaceted program that utilizes several methodsto engage its students in success. Some of the methods are: frequent facultycontact, specially created courses, extensive mentoring system

This program was funded by the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for UndergraduatePrograms (GEAR UP), a federal discretionary grant awarded by the U. S. Department ofEducation. It was designed to increase the enrollment of low-income students — simultaneouslypreparing them for success in post-secondary education — through a partnership grant betweenTexas A&M International University (TAMIU) and 19 school districts throughout the southernpart of Texas, covering approximately 14,972 square miles.

into their careers andlives after graduation. Such approaches are often referred to as high impact pedagogies [1].The American Association of Colleges and Universities classifies service-learning as a “highimpact pedagogy” [2]. While the roots of service-learning, also called community engagedlearning, date back to the 1860’s with the Morrill Act and the 1920’s with the work of JohnDewey, curricular integration took root in the U.S. in the 1970’s. In the 1990’s there was asignificant increase in the adoption of the pedagogy within many disciplines in higher education[3, 4]. Research has shown that service-learning, can have benefits on student persistence [4-12],learning of core disciplinary knowledge and the broader skills needed in today’s

pedagogical approach, CE most strongly is connected to service-learning (S-L). ThoughFurco (2003) stated that at least two hundred different definitions of service-learning have beenpublished, the distinguishing factor of between S-L and community-service is that S-L isintentionally designed to meet learning (often academic) objectives. Other components commonin service-learning definitions include 1) the need for student reflection on the value of the effort,2) the connection and integration of the effort with the community, and 3) the attainment byparticipants of the desirable outcome of civic or social responsibility.The benefits of CE projects are well documented in the literature13, 27.

the sorting task. Each sorter was presented with all of the final ideason a set of numbered cards with one idea per card. They then sorted the cards into groups ofsimilar ideas and created a descriptive name for each group. Finally, they recorded their groupname and the ideas (numbered cards) were placed in that group. Each idea was only sorted intoone group. Once the ideas were sorted by the stakeholders, this raw data was structured intomatrices of 0’s and 1’s using the open source programing language R [31]. This step generatedindividual and total matrices, which served as an input for the representation step. The sortingstep was an onsite activity and was completed in two hours, with each stakeholder sorting theideas individually. Prior

Each division has one or more not-for-profit agency/ies (such as a museum, government service, charity, etc.) as a communitypartner(s). The students work with their community partner(s) to identify, develop, and deliverprojects that meet the community partner’s needs. Examples of such community needs includedesigning assistive technology for people with disabilities, developing database software forhuman services agencies, and developing engaging science-educational technology forelementary students.
