Advocates of these projects laudthe experience and engineering growth gained by participating engineering students [1]. Butthese programs face criticism when student experience is placed above project effectiveness andcommunity impact [2]. The literature is full of

author's teaching career, occasionally a local inventor would have a need foreither prototyping an idea or developing a drawing/CAD model for an existing prototype. It isquite possible for the academic institution of higher learning to partner with the inventor to meetthe needs of both the inventor and the educator. The educator is always searching for projectideas that are real and practical to give to students to work on. Students in general are moremotivated to work on a real project than a fictitious one. This paper documents a case study inwhich a group of engineering undergraduate students seized the opportunity to work with a localinventor and entrepreneur.

Some of these practices include the cultivation of corn,manioc, peanut, squash, watermelon, and beans among others [3]. The communities have alsothrived in this area due to their hunting, fishing, gathering, and handcrafting practices [2].Moreover, these communities have accumulated and culturally developed bodies of

Toy adaptation involves modifying electronic toys to make them moreaccessible to children with diverse abilities. This includes deconstructing a toy and soldering auniversal activation port within the toy’s circuitry, such that a variety of alternative switches canbe used for toy activation (Fig. 1).Previous studies from other groups have found that toy adaptation is effective in enhancing first-year engineering students’ understanding of the field of engineering, and the connection betweenengineering and society [6-8].

with the hope that students would also: Develop educational materials and hands-on STEM activities as a service to the community Develop project/time management, organizational, and leadership skills. Develop effective listening/collaboration skills while working with community partners. Recognize and understand ethical responsibilities of engineers.Course History:This course was created in 2014 and was, initially, a two-unit course that served as a vehicle forthe outreach, discussions with partner liaisons, and assignments. Soon after, one to two “lunch andlearns” were included each quarter to provide a more convenient avenue for guest speakers anddiscussions. In 2015, the course took on its current three-unit format with a lecture and a
