Paper ID #34151Are Civil Engineers ”Practicing What They Preach?”Nathalie Al Kakoun, Swansea University Nathalie Al Kakoun holds a BEng in Civil Engineering (Hons) and is now pursuing a multidisciplinary PhD, crossing engineering with psychology, at Swansea University. Nathalie is currently researching and designing interventions that characterise empathy and social consciousness in engineers and civil engineering design processes. She is also currently researching engineering mindsets, attempting to un- derstand (and further align) the compatibility of engineering mindsets to engineers’ engagement with public
made it possible toconduct the competition smoothly. In addition, the students really enjoyed the lunch in theuniversity cafeteria.For our engineering students, they had the chance to meet with the young and future engineeringstudents and played the “professor” roles for one day as proctors and graders. More importantly,they accumulated service hours towards their course completion.From the university point of view, this was an excellent marketing opportunity. We were able toinstill in the young mind the possibility of future engineering careers, and the possibility ofcoming to our university to pursue an engineering degree. We had anecdote facts showing thatsome of the previous competing students enrolled in our engineering programs. Some
, control of how potential NGO partners develop andenact accountability towards constituents and values, ETH programs can have influence onhow NGO partners put effectiveness into practice. For example, ETH design projects can bethought through from the outset with embeddedness in mind by ensuring that data-gatheringin community only happens after enough trust building has taken place between thecommunity and NGO partners. In doing so, engineering teams can ensure that the quality ofthe data informing design projects is reliable and trustworthy.ETH teams can also influence what NGOs do with their organizational flexibility. Forexample, engineering teams can invite NGO staff to have more involved participation inproblem definition/solutions with
focus on how to engage students better to prepare their minds for the future.

Priority 1 is “Practice a community-first model ofdevelopment”, and its subgoals include critically evaluating project success as measured by thecommunity, identifying power imbalances and inequities in student development projects [6],and encouraging transparency in the chapter failures and impacts. Priority 2 is “Develop acommunity of globally-minded students and professionals” which involves ongoing self-reflection and collaborating with both professionals and students of different backgrounds anddisciplines. Priority 3 is “Challenge norms in higher education and STEM” and largely involvesvaluing non-engineering expertise in engineering projects and working towards
complete over a dozen projects on four continents. Shall’s work in this arena has been disseminated widely, including presentations at Third and Fifth International Symposia On Service Learning In Higher Education, lectures at Brown University, the University of Maryland, and the New School for Design, publications by the AIA Press and the University of Indi- anapolis Press and exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Art in La Paz, Bolivia, the Sheldon Swope Museum of Art, the Goldstein Museum of Design, the Venice Architecture Biennale and MoMA.

Pamela Cristina Silva Diaz, PamLab Design and Engineering Pamela Silva D´ıaz is a mechanical engineer with experience in appropriate technology, participatory de- sign and humanitarian innovation. She completed her bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2012 and obtained her Master of Science in the same field at the University of Michigan in 2014. Through her business, PamLab Design and Engineering, she blends strategic design facilitation with mechanical engineering services to co
central component of the value for the community partners. Thisdiffers from many of the early adopters of service-learning, where the service was typicallydefined as time spent within the community or in the partner organization [1]. Nearly 90% of thestudents studied in Where’s the Learning in Service-Learning [2] were from placement-basedapproaches. It is not surprising, therefore, that many of the models for community-engagedlearning were designed with placement-based approaches in mind. While such models can beuseful in engineering, they lack the context of the project experience that adds dimensions notaddressed in earlier models. A project deliverable is central to many engineering experiences,while the project process, including activities

The need for global minded engineers isevident as industries have seized on globalization opportunities and it is now the norm to haveteams working across the globe. It is important for workforce development but also for humandevelopment that students learn to work on engineering project that are international and thatengineering programs
