The student participants interviewedrural residents in portions of Western and Central Texas, using both phone and in-personinterviews. The survey provided data that defined the nature of observed flooding in rural areasand needed mitigation efforts for future flooding risks. The students who conducted the publicoutreach study were from several different majors (Geoscience, Environmental Science, andEngineering) and cultural backgrounds.The students who conducted the flood research interview were surveyed for a post-studyassessment using two research instruments – a Qualtrics survey and personal interviews.

) labs.All courses include hands-on activities of either pre-defined projects or open-ended students’chosen projects. To further align the SAFE mission with the degree plans, we decided to integrateour project-based learning with service and community-engaged learning. The goal is thatstudents would find true value in their technical and academic studies by putting them intopractice through community service.We started by approaching nonprofit organizations from within our community. The lack offinancial support for many nonprofit organizations induced several technologies and performancegaps which in turn can result in ineffective management and communication, an uninspired donorbase, and a lack of data-driven decision-making [9, 10]. For these

The Natural Resource Council (NRC) defines resilience as “theability [of individuals, groups, communities] to prepare and plan for, absorb, recover from, ormore successfully adapt to [actual or potential] adverse events” (Amadei, 2020; NRC, 2012). Avisual depiction of resilience and its relationship to capacity is shown in Figure 1 below. Figure 1. Resilience after a disaster or crisis or viewing resilience as variations in community capacity over time following a disaster or crisis (Amadei, 2020).Engineers such as Amadei (2020) and Bouabid & Louis (2015) (henceforth referred to as theABL model) have formed models to assess the capacity of communities to

. As a team we planned a three day game design workshop for middle school students that: ● fosters interest in computer science careers by exposing students to basic programming concepts; ● encourages the development of ethical decision-making capacities by designing games that address contemporary challenges in adolescents’ lives; and ● harnesses the motivational affordances of games to encourage students to engage in interest driven learning.Game Jam workshops are potentially well suited to achieving the goals we note above because of their open-ended nature [3]. Game jams build on the affordances of games, offering youth a playful and agenticperspective on design and problem solving, while exposing them to basic

The target community for COAST was selected initially by the United States Department of State (US DoS) as part of public diplomacy to address issues raised by some leaders from the Caribbean basin.
