to grow upand go to college and do the same things they are interested in now.”“One kid in particular who sticks out in my mind… asked many questions about the robot andabout [university] engineering and college life in general... It was a good feeling to be able tooffer him advice about college, and the path of engineering. This experience, truly made me feellike a mentor.”“For me, if just one [high school] student is inspired to pursue college and some sort of STEMdegree, it would be amazing. Getting to see their excitement in competing has been the mostrewarding experience I have had as a mentor so far.”Improved youth robotics team competition performance demonstrates effectiveness of theuniversity mentors.

This program was inspired by severalengineering programs around the world that had developed initiatives related with engineersmaking social and environmental impacts, a new type of engineers, sensitive to social contexts,committed and qualified to serve communities by contributing to the solution of complex problemsat a regional and national context, as the Humanitarian Engineering program from the ColoradoSchool of Mines [6]. With this purpose in mind, the program is created as a professional line inhumanitarian engineering which is defined as a package that any student can choose to takebetween one or two years before his graduation.

and food pantries on supply chain management and logistics focused initiatives. Her graduate and undergraduate students are integral part of her service-learning based logistics classes. She teaches courses in strategic relationships among industrial distributors and distribution logistics. Her recent research focuses on engineering education and learning sciences with a focus on how to engage students better to prepare their minds for the future. Her other research interests include empirical studies to assess impact of good supply chain practices such as coordinated decision making in stochastic supply chains, handling supply chains during times of crisis and optimizing global supply chains on the financial

We discuss the structure of our program and the adapta- tion of traditional computer science teaching methods to the jail setting. We identify effective instructional approaches to address the unique challenges faced by in-custody students. We discuss the program’s inclusion of undergraduate students and we explore assessment and

participants’experiences, thereby providing tangible justifications for the project’s merit. Note that theseresults, due to the small sample size (n = 4), are preliminary in nature and may differ from asimilar project conducted with a larger number of students.The study was carried out with the following exploratory research questions in mind: 1. How does the project experience complement the knowledge and skills learned in traditional engineering education? 2. How does the project experience influence students’ perspectives of the relationship between engineering and social responsibility?Perceived Value“Just working with an actual client, I’ve never done that before. So that’s kind of insight into theengineering world, meeting with that client
