clients and students to notice any disengagement, if ever. 2. Remind the students that the clients on the Autism spectrum might communicate differently. 3. Coordinate the assessment and survey efforts to be consistent with the institutional standard.Interdisciplinary service-learning projects are complex to manage and require a balanced task designationbetween students from different disciplines. However, the rewards are fruitful. We will improve upon thecourse delivery and assessment plan and share it with the engineering education community.References[1] Nusaybah Abu-Mulaweh and William C.

society, including the development in practice of concepts such as grassroots engineering and solidarity economy and technology.However, there are some limitations too. As far as we can see, Soltec faces two significantchallenges for the students’ education: funding and evaluation. In the first case, the problem getsmore evident with administrations less sympathetic to left-wing projects, which is the case ofBrazil and both the State and city of Rio de Janeiro, currently in the hand of far-right politicians.This situation is new to Soltec, after thirteen years of the leftist Worker’s Party’s federaladministrations. However, after far-right Jair Bolsonaro came into power (2019), FederalUniversities (such as UFRJ), social movements, and

Undergraduate EngineeringCurriculum Guidelines that were approved in 2019 [21] and which replace the 2002 equivalentGuidelines [22].As we will see in the next section, the 2002 Guidelines were particularly important forprogressive perspectives such as grassroots engineering and liberating technical support tograssroots groups because: 1. They made the curriculum more flexible, allowing local faculty to adapt it to specificities the institution could identify as worth considering [23]; 2. They made explicit an ideal education that should form a generalist, humanist, critical, ethical, and socially and environmentally sensitive engineer [22]; 3. They encouraged a multidisciplinary education and made curricular

needs to be performed to understand how different learningactivities and environments affect students' ideas about empathy. Therefore, this study aimed toidentify the constructs of empathy that were most salient in students before and after therehabilitation engineering course.Study ContextThe rehabilitation engineering course was piloted in Spring 2017. Preliminary research showedthat students developed aspects of design empathy, as well as recognition of the importance ofaccessibility and universal design [14]. The course was offered again in Fall 2019 and enrolled24 fourth- and fifth- year biomedical engineering and mechanical engineering students. Thecourse was co-taught by Dr. Lauren Cooper and Dr. Brian Self, mechanical engineering

Where and howcan/should engineering educators focus their attention and resources to develop, organize,integrate, and support these projects so they can be more effective and

These two aspects seem to play an important role in the shared perception of manyGE practitioners, in which, despite the highly adverse Brazilian political scene since the removalof Dilma Rousseff from office (2016) and, mainly, after far-right Jair Bolsonaro’s presidencyinauguration (2019), GE teams not only survive (in many cases, however, with much less moneyand undergraduate students (as scholarship holders)) but are also being created nationwide.Leading Grassroots Engineering TeamsMany groups, linked or not to university extension centers, identify

In Fall 2015 the college had 220 full-timefaculty, 35 were members of minorities and 13 were international. At this time 17 percent of ourU.S. students identify as students of color (Hispanic/Latino, 6 percent; Asian-American, 4percent; African-American, 5 percent; multiracial, 2 percent) [9]. In 2015 our engineeringdivision college was recognized by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) forits commitment to diversity and inclusivity. At this time the student body within the engineeringdivision consisted of 36% women and nearly 25% identified within the underrepresented group,approximately double the national average [10].Over the

The STEM mentors themselves have not been to the classroomsphysically, and have only been present through technological assistance. The overall goal was toget a sense of the capabilities of the classrooms and to verify that the classes would have theproper starting conditions and materials for the project.The first phase of the project establishes a baseline using the most common, though alsoleast-embodied, technological assist: teleconferencing. For this phase, we
