the programfor continuing to improve the experience and success of future cohorts.I. Design-Based Research MethodThe curricular development work for this project-based learning (PBL) program began in 2016[1] utilizing design-based research (DBR) as the methodology for both design and research.Design-based research (DBR) was adopted as the methodology to 1) address learning theories, 2)to study learning in context, 3) to develop measures of learning, and 4) to contribute to newdesigns and learning theories [2] for the program development. The work incorporates the fourphases of DBR identified by Kolmos [3]: design; implementation; data collection and analysis;and findings and conclusions. The DBR phases were adapted and combined with

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Post-Secondary Work Integrated Learning through STEM OutreachAbstractThis work in progress paper reports on a multi-year project designed to articulate the learningand employability skills gained by a pan-Canadian group of undergraduate students, by way oftheir training and work experience as youth program “instructors” delivering
engineeringdisciplines, and the context of their research varied considerably. Some students were part oflarge, established experimental laboratories while other students worked individually or in smallgroups on computational or theoretical projects. As this course was launched in Fall 2020,students in this class experienced the additional challenge of starting college (and undergraduateresearch) remotely during a global pandemic. The design and content of this course wereevaluated using anonymous feedback and a review of reflective discussion posts in order todetermine whether the course supported the stated learning goals. This evaluation indicates thatstudents found the course material helpful in understanding their role as undergraduate researchassistants

engagementopportunity requires six key components: 1) an instructor or facilitator, 2) a community partner,3) a student, 4) academic context, 5) reflective thinking, and 6) meaningful service. An exampleof a service learning project is when an engineering major has been assigned to a local highschool to assist students to prepare for a robotics competition. In this situation, the service isproviding a learning opportunity to the provider of the service and the recipients of the service(to include the high school students and the teacher).Service learning enhances students’ academic and civic engagement through a combination oftraditional learning activities and community services. Often civic involvement is one of theimportant student-learning outcomes in
and group problem solving, which was anideal fit for a research problem focused on providing better resources for a group of highlyinvolved, capable students with a lot of thoughts and ideas to contribute. The specific designthinking model used in the study was the nonlinear, five-step process popularized by Stanford’sd.school. An image showing the design thinking process is included below in Figure 1 [7].Figure 1: Stanford d.school Design Thinking ModelThis paper encompasses the first three stages in the design thinking process, stopping just shortof the prototyping phase. The prototype and test phases of the project are ongoing, but are largelyoutside the scope of what could reasonably be contained in this publication. Because the
Collaboration, Experiential Learning, and Design ThinkingGiven the national and local significance of public infrastructure decline and current policydebates over how to fund replacement and repair, we developed a course that explicitly focusedon the problems with Syracuse’s aging wastewater system [24], [25]. In order to provide contextand relevance, we used a collaborative framework to create an experiential learning project inwhich student teams collaborated with local stakeholders to explore the real world challenges ofmaintaining wastewater systems in a resource-constrained city. In addition, we integrated adesign thinking process to engage students in empathy/ethics-based methods and approaches toproblem solving.Collaborative FrameworkThe course

Because the Senior Designcourse is already a prominent and well-established part of students’ senior year, the SEEInitiative focuses primarily on students’ experiences in the department prior to their senior year.The Senior Design course provides an opportunity for students to work closely with industrythrough sponsored design projects. It is structured to emulate an industry-based engineering teamenvironment and has been very well reviewed by students, faculty and industry sponsors with thecourse consistently rated above its targets (4.0 on a five point rating

This could include problem-solving skills that couldbe applied to a wide range of tasks, time management, writing or reflection skills, teamwork, orthe ability to carry out an engineering project. Students provided fewer examples of non-content-based connections between the class and their co-op jobs, with an average of 1.1 specific itemslisted, and overall exhibited a lower level of perceived connections in this area.

The purpose of the interview was tolearn more about the interns’ journey at the company, get their feedback with the intent ofimproving the internship experience, and to better understand the transition process between anacademic setting to a corporate environment. While all interns worked in product development,their internship assignments varied in level of technical focus, from projects focused onelectronics and programming to project management.The audio interviews were conducted over the phone and lasted

The researchers suggested the benefits of students interacting with students innon-engineering majors through these activities.Typologies of involvement. Student typologies provide an additional approach to investigatingthe distinct effects of involvement for different students [29], [67]–[71]. These approachesconsider student subcultures by classifying students according to common characteristics,including types of involvement [72]. Researchers have further linked student typologies todifferences in self-reported development [70]. Contradicting some previously discussed findings,these studies have
