Concept Interpretations at the BoundaryThe first element that this paper seeks to explore is the variety of interpretations whenengineering professionals encounter concepts from the social sciences and humanities, andespecially when those engineers are considering the broader ethical and societal impacts of theirwork. The concept of boundary objects and boundary

ever but on the other not having a long-term plan for the implemented systems can lead to non-functional systems and take on a more traditional service-learning approach. Also, having students work on projects for only 1 semester during the year is not ideal. At OSU an attempt is currently being made to involve capstone students who are part of the global capstone program who have more time to start working on these projects in the previous semester and thus offering some continuity.g. A never-ending course for the faculty - While community-based learning courses are typically only offered for a semester, effectively maintaining the relationship and the projects is a yearlong commitment. The off-semester work is often not

We were hoping for closer to a 1:1 ratio with our class of 38‬ ‭students.‬‭ till, the inaugural run of the course has been completed with much success and many lessons‬S‭learned. As we plan to rerun this course in Fall 2024, we anticipate several changes. Initially, we‬ ‭aim to develop two new virtual reactor models and provide more time for students to explore‬ ‭those models. One goal would be to hold a community open house in the VR lab, where students‬ ‭would host the participants on virtual tours of the reactors in person.

Saturdayprogramming and a summer camp experience.There are two curricular developers for the course: (1) a retired engineer, and (2) a former K-12STEM teacher, both of whom now work to create STEM outreach opportunities for children. Withinput from industry partner representatives and the two program teachers, the curriculum developerscreated a dynamic curricular guidebook that includes engineering content, a variety of activities, andcomprehensive lesson plans that are used by the teachers. All information can be customized to meetspecific school and student needs, within the pace of a traditional nine-week class time frame (shownin Figure 1 below).
