. Jacoby conciselydescribes service learning as “a form of experiential education in which students engage inactivities that address human and community needs together with structured opportunitiesintentionally designed to promote student learning and development” [1].The main components of community engaged learning are service, academic content, partnershipand reciprocity, and finally, analysis or reflection [2]. The service should provide support andsolutions for overcoming a community identified need, while also deepening students learning ofengineering concepts. The community engagement work provides an opportunity for students toapply their classroom learning in a real world setting, with the intention of enriching theirunderstanding of

Kolb used the term “experiential learning” to describe hisperspective on learning in order to link his ideas to their roots in the works of [4, 5, 6] and toemphasize the central role that experience plays in the learning process. Within Kolb’sexperiential learning theory [2, 3], learning is described as a four-stage cycle consisting ofconcrete experience (feeling dimension), reflective observation (reflecting dimension), abstractconceptualization (thinking dimension), and active experimentation (doing dimension).In order to develop graduates who possess the knowledge, skills, and teamwork necessary to

LawrenceAmanda Coleman c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Reauthoring Engineering Identities as Belonging to a Community-Engaged ProfessionAbstract: In this scholarly practice paper, we critically examined if and how engineeringstudents in a first-year design course internalized their professional identity as engineers whowere engaged in their communities. We describe the course, which used human-centered designprojects as a mechanism to partner with community organizations. Based on a thematic analysisof three reflective essays (n = 105) for each student (n = 35), we found four distinct patternsrelated to identity development in relation to community engagement. We

In addition tothe projects, student assignments included reflection prompts, four hours of community service,and several empathy “immersion” experiences (i.e., wearing a blindfold while trying to completebasic tasks). Seven students opted to participate in the study, all in their 4th or 5th year in eitherbiomedical or mechanical engineering. Students completed pre- and post-course surveys aimedto measure changes in self-reported levels of empathy. One student participated in a personalinterview, aimed at understanding the different ways in which the course activities influenced hisdevelopment of empathy. All seven students who participated

. Dating back to the 1960s, researchershave explored the theoretical characterization of intercultural competence and the effectivenessof varying classroom practices [24]. More recently, various researchers have explored theefficacy of CEL and research immersion experiences. Research shows that teachers learn tonavigate complex, intercultural encounters through challenging CEL experiences promoting,“reflective, critical and ethical practices” [25].Since international engineering CEL has the potential benefit to both increase interculturalawareness, while also demonstrating engineering as a career that helps humanity, engagingteachers in this type of experience may prepare them to encourage and inspire their students,particularly females and other

The students also provided education and materials onhome fire preparation. In the past five years they distributed materials and provided informationto over ten thousand people in homes and on the streets of the city.The students were required to submit a technical report about the behavior of steel under hightemperatures (i.e., home fires).

addition, course outcomesincorporate successful team dynamics, individual skills development, and multiple opportunities forself-reflection of steps of the design process.Courses involving collaborative design teams — and grades that are dependent on the associatedteam deliverables and final project — can be frustrating to individuals placed on teams that do notperform to their expectations. The EFC course grades have a team-based set of graded components;half of students’ final grade is set by team projects deliverables. However, individual courseelements have been included throughout the semester to allow students more input into their finalgrade. These elements include personal reflections on skills development, user testing, and

Another problematicassumption made in the students’ economic proposal was that what works under consumercapitalism in the U.S., where a high percentage of the population has expendable income, wouldwork in the very different economic circumstances of Nicaragua. The project was ultimatelystalled at the proposal stage because of disagreement about this point.By the time they reach their senior capstone, engineering students have often had few- if any-courses that require them to consider empathic approaches to designing for a client orcommunity whose racial, ethnic, national, socioeconomic, or other demographic backgrounddiffers from their own. This experience gap is reflected when students don’t have the tools tounderstand the needs of

critical reflection of the learner on the experience. Unlessembedded within a course as a service-learning activity (e.g. [13]), there may not be structuredreflection. This is particularly true in co-curricular activities, where advisors may worry thatformal reflection would deter college students from participating. However, the reflection couldoccur informally via a group discussion.Giles and Eyler [11] cite Dewey’s [12] four criteria for projects to be truly educative. The fourcriteria are: generate interest, worthwhile intrinsically, problems that demand new information,and cover a considerable time span. K-12 activities are often designed to be fun, so they arelikely to generate interest on behalf of both the college student and K-12 kids

Typically, universities offer academic spaces for community servicein the curriculum of certain programs. In the case of the Electronic Engineering (EE) major of thePontificia Universidad Javeriana University in Colombia, there is a course called University SocialProject (Proyecto Social Universitario, PSU). During more than 30 years of different iterationsand changes, this course has promoted the commitment and responsibility of EE students withvulnerable populations and institutions that the university has built a partnership with [4].

in Fig 1), ECD projectshave been motivated by faculty and students desire to help, personal and career goals, desires tostudy and work abroad, and desires to solve problems and to gain hands on experience onimpactful work [1][2]. Since then, some scholars have called our attention to how the focus ofwell-intentioned ECD projects on technological fixes and deliverables tend to leave out criticalreflections of engineers’ motivations to be in these projects, and of the processes required tobuild trust and determine communities’ priorities and desires [3][4]. Unfortunately, these calls tocritical reflection in the ECD space are often overshadowed by the continued emergence ofmilestones and challenges (e.g., UN Sustainable Development Goals, NAE
