The students’ hypotheses were directly in alignment withAmerican Institute of Architects Code of Ethics which states one of their main tenets as“obligation to the public.” (AIA 2017).At the end of the semester, students spend more time reflecting on their experiences from theservice learning project. The final class session is spent talking through the strengths andweaknesses of the project and the course. Additionally, the class views each student’s digitalstory, and each student submits a two page narrative to answer the questions posed in JournalAssignment #5.A common thread seen from the students of this semester was an

As pointed out by Kabo and Baillie[10], concepts such as social justice, sustainability, humanitarian practices or ethics can bethreshold concepts to define what a changemaking engineer is. Using this idea, the authorscreated three distinct categories to classify how students defined changemaking engineering. Thefirst group represents students who did not relate engineering and changemaking in ways thatreflect the perspective of the university, or the RED project. These students did not relateengineering with changemaking or by defined every engineer as a changemaker. Nine (32%)students were

Day and Foley [12] used class time exclusively for exercises, having their students prepare beforehand for class with materials provided online. Frydenberg [13] primarily used hands-on exercises to foster student understanding in data analytics. Based on the context of the class module, class exercises were designed for the class time to explicitly raise questions to invite student participation.

It has been observed that transfer students tend to be more mature than many of thestudents who started as freshmen and have a very strong work ethic.

Consequently, at the time ofsubmission, there was more disagreement than consensus regarding DACA recipients andimmigration policies in general.This political climate is important because SCC is located in a state with a large population ofDACA recipients and a large population of immigrants. When creating the recruitment survey,our research group initially wanted to ask questions about US citizenship, but given the largeimmigrant population at our study site, ethics, and overall empathy, we decided not to includethis question on the survey. Additionally, we believe that this political climate might influencesome students
