We will continueto expand our data size and we will continue to collaborate with more local community partnersand student organizations within Wright College to organize volunteering opportunities. Withmore activities and larger data size, we will compare the impact of all terms on the STEMidentity and STEM efficacy of volunteers.V.

. “Engaging future engineers is a central topic in everydayconversations on engineering education... It is imperative that the community reflects onprogress and sets a more effective path for the future.” [4] A second motivation was to provide an opportunity for students to begin building self-starting skills earlier in their academic career. The owner of DCOF was highly supportive ofallowing the activities and engagements to be student-led. This gave students the independenceto set their own activity structure and to make decisions in deciding their goals and needs inaccomplishing tasks. There are clear benefits to students; “Without the presence of an organizingfaculty member, students are forced to make decisions in a real-world environment, in

By using multiple survey items in our analysis, we are able tooffer a more sophisticated map that better reflects the complex array of nodes through whichvaluable resources like E-Corps become accessible to communities. Then, our interpretation ofqualitative items informed on the specific ways the flow of information worked through thenetworks. This offers an informed point of departure for other, more sophisticated analyses tomap the complex array through which people come to take part in consequential resources,including environmental remediation programming available through Project Local. A limitation on interpretation, the composition of the sample does not necessarily meanthat the

Moreover, they used the literacies as tools for honoring the voices andexperiences of the community where they implemented their project.Our study offers implications for engineering education. Foremost, although not directly theobject of this paper, it is impossible to understand learning without considering teaching. In aphenomenographic study, Zoltowski et al.[46] argue that students’ ways of understanding andexperiencing HCD have different degrees of comprehensiveness. Our data show that focalstudents seem to present a comprehensive perspective of HCD: The main issue with the
