risks. A third case studywill show how research on electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) recycling has been translatedto teach students about engineering and community development and to empower communitiesto recycle e-waste in safer and more profitable conditions. A fourth case study will show howresearch on construction and demolition waste (C&DW) has been translated to teach freshmenengineering students about design for community and to empower communities near C&DWsites how to recycle these materials to diversify their incomes. The paper concludes withrecommendations for how to begin making RT a more central feature of graduate engineeringresearch.IntroductionThis paper has three purposes. First, we want to identify best

students with anintroduction to STEM via hands-on design and practice, and to provide the high school studentswith an opportunity to see STEM skills and expertise used to directly impact the lives ofindividuals that may be differently-abled. Some participants in the program were selected for theopportunity to gain additional experience working in a research lab for a few weeks during thesummer. Additionally, the engineering graduate students gain valuable perspectives of howengineering should play a role in addressing social justice issues that plague society.A second outreach initiative, the Exploring Engineering Through Toy Design (EETD) program,has adapted the Toy Design Guides curriculum from the Lemelson-MIT and the Toy ProductDesign class at

into conversation with NASA engineers, scientists, and managers, to discussthe long term ethical and societal implications of NASA’s human space exploration efforts fromthe Moon to Mars. Whereas some ASEE ethics division research focuses on the impact ofeducational discussions on students, ours involved practicing engineers as well as managers andpolicy analysts who shape the future of major engineering endeavors. While we will describe thiscase study in subsequent sections, we will point out some specific points of content in the reportnow, that may best serve as bridges for engaging in the engineering education literature.This paper seeks to further explore the concepts described in the workshop report, particularly asthey relate to

Template for Engineering Design CoursePurpose of the StudyThe purpose of this study is threefold. First, we seek to contribute work that casts a positive,opportunities-driven light on engineering opportunities for rural students, teachers, and communitypartners. Second, this paper and the DeSIRE project will serve as a case study for othercommunity-engaged engineering education researchers to use for their ownschool-university-community collaborations. Third, through qualitative methods, we aimed to answerthe following research questions: 1. How and to what degree does the engineering design-focused program impact teacher STEM content and pedagogical knowledge and awareness of STEM educational pathways and occupations? 2. How

This framework provides astructured approach to community engagement, data analysis, project implementation, andevaluation, ensuring that our efforts are strategic, inclusive, and responsive to the needs ofresidents.Figure 11. Neighborhood Revitalization Framework for University-led Program7. Methodology for Program AssessmentMeasuring the impact of the neighborhood revitalization improvements in each neighborhoodrequires a multidisciplinary and multiscale approach and methodology so that the many benefitscan be captured. We have developed a three-part assessment to better understand and capture theimpact of our improvements. Our assessment focuses on physical changes, shifts in use
