Onestudent talked about wanting to positively affect society by working on building codecommittees, and two other students highlighted an engineer’s ability to educate the public aboutissues like hydraulic fracturing. None of the students, however, talked directly about the needfor engineers to influence legislation or guide public policy. With only six of the 535 membersof congress being engineers, and only 11 from Science, Technology, Engineering orMathematics (STEM) backgrounds17, it is not surprising that ideas of civic responsibility arelacking in the discourse surrounding the role of engineers in society.(c

Local solutions involvehorizontal innovation networks to create assistive technology that is modifiable by healthcareprofessionals and patients, not just the engineers that created the device. However, the ability tocommunicate between engineers, healthcare professionals, and patients requires empathy.A number of other researchers have investigated the importance of developing empathy in theirengineering courses.

, Persistence, and Interest in Civil EngineeringAbstractExposing pre-college students to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)activities and undergraduate college students to service learning have both been linked toincreased interest and participation in STEM careers. This study investigates the use of theWriting Partners program as an intervention to increase college students’ intentions to persist inthe major and increase K-12 students’ awareness and understanding of engineering. The WritingPartners (WP) program consists of college students exchanging letters with a local 5th or 6thgrade student twice over the course of a semester, culminating in a campus visit for theelementary students.

interesting andfun, but the task of doing this can be daunting. Likewise, theunderlying principles supporting the “How?”, “Why?” and“What for?” may seem elusive to many. Through ournumerous activities using the robotics kits we haveexperienced firsthand how quickly students can learn toassemble and operate this system.A crucial element to the introduction of any technology to theclassroom is the utility of the technology. LEGO™ roboticskits are designed with engineering precision allowing users toquickly and repeatedly build prototypes of projects conceived Figure 8. Freshman Designand designed by students. Added capabilities are gained bycombining the LEGO robotics technology with Vernier sensor technology—facilitating thedesign of experiments

communities-in-need typically focus on creating,implementing, and optimizing innovative technologies that can be universally applied to thedeveloping world. Many of the technological design assumptions are based upon the provider’svalues and cultural experience, and often disregard the conditions and context of the recipientcommunity. This mindset is exacerbated by the characteristic isolation that engineeringeducation maintains with regard to non-technical disciplines such as anthropology, communityhealth, and social development. A year-long course at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, currently in is third year and working with its third community, breaks theisolationism of engineering thinking by combining undergraduate and graduate
