IntroductionGovernments recognize that student volunteers play an important role in developing an engagedcivil society [1]. A school that actively participates in neighborhood activities unites students,teachers, staff, and community stakeholders. This increases a school’s ability to produce engagedand civic minded citizens. Students participating in community projects gain a sense of belongingand security which can lead to academic success as well as civic engagement. Studies have shownvolunteering and service projects benefit students, communities, educational institutions

characterized the nature ofcommunity engagement within engineering as primarily connected to engineering projects thatare completed by students to gain insight into design and other professional skills [3, 5, 8, 9].Additionally, within the engineering profession broadly, there have been consistent calls forengineering within the United States to adopt a posture that is more empathetic towardstakeholders of their practice [10, 11]. Engineering programs that incorporate elements ofcommunity engagement are often seen as facilitating a professional orientation amongengineering students to enact their career roles as more profoundly connected with thestakeholders of systems that they are to design.However, running counter to the narrative of engineering as

The clients were promised a needs assessmentencompassing a problem of their choosing; the teaching staff stressed the open-ended nature ofthe project in all communications with the agency representatives. Through the course itself,each agency will construct an applicable problem statement as well as reasonable expectations indirect cooperation with student groups, instead of faculty generating project assignments.Participating agencies were asked to commit to several virtual meetings and the administration ofa client questionnaire. The objectives of this course were crafted to incorporate the principles of design
, this excitement for robotics is a keyattractor to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) career paths. Many of theseschools participate in robotics competitions for novice students to be able to learn scientific andengineering principles through hands-on activity. However, at the high school level there is lackof team mentors to assist those youth with their various projects. Prior to development of thiscourse, Fairfield University had received frequent requests to recruit college students to serve asmentors for those programs. Many of our students found it difficult to dedicate the time, whenthey did not see themselves as experts, nor have an incentive on campus to encourage theirparticipation.Through the service learning structure
