Each team then presents theirconcept, including a prototype and summary documentation, to the community partner.Although community partners can take on-board any concepts or ideas, there is no aim orexpectation that development and implementation work will be carried out as part of theSummit. This is captured in the Summits aims which include supporting community partnersby generating ideas for their project. Other aims include practise and promote two-wayknowledge sharing and embedding people-centred values and approaches in engineering,technology and design

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. Mitchell and Light (2018) have incorporated initial challenger interviews,subject matter expert speakers or videos, stakeholder engagement plans, and reflection exercisesto help students develop empathy in “EPICS,” a first-year design course at Colorado School ofMines [2].

, 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.

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
