the world have developed programs and initiativesrelated with engineers making social and environmental impacts. This paper presents the results of a twoyears design process of a humanitarian engineering educational Program at Universidad Sergio Arboledain Colombia in South America from a practical perspective. The Program looks for the generation ofprofessionals more aware of their decisions where they change the perspective from “knowledge owners”to “design facilitators”. It is based in three main conceptual paths: Social Appropriation of Technology,Listening and co-creation, and facilitation of social business model for communities.The main goal of this Program is to provide our engineering students with systemic thinking methodologiesand
of designerly epis- temic identities and vocational pathways. Dr. Lande received his B.S in Engineering (Product Design), M.A. in Education (Learning, Design and Technology) and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (Design Education) from Stanford University. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Exploring Whitewater Rafting Guides’ Values of Learning and TeachingIntroductionBeing in the natural environment affects one’s place in the built environment.

, 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

, mineral processing technologies forASM communities. The students were required to employ a Human-Centered Design (HCD)protocol, with a significant stakeholder engagement component. Through an analysis of studentfeedback, this paper identifies two major themes. First, integrating sustainable developmentprojects into the engineering design classroom provides students with deeper insights regardingthe challenges of sustainable development projects. Second, students are able to make a clearerconnection between the social and technical aspects of engineering and sustainable developmentproblems. This paper concludes that introducing sustainable development projects into theengineering classroom that have real-world applications and allow students to
