To address what some have characterized as a “leaky pipeline,” scholars haverecommended, among several strategies, forming “strategic partnerships” [2]. We argue that suchpartnerships should aim to be community-engaged in order to broaden participation.Engineering education has a long history of forming partnerships and providing opportunities forstudents to design solutions for communities.
