Additionally, the Summer Accelerator’s affiliationwith a university affords participants a glimpse into the real world of engineering, with studentsinteracting with graduate-level engineering students, touring the university Invention Studio, andworking with tools used by real engineers as they prototype their designs. Despite the differencesbetween Camp Invention and the Summer Accelerator, the positive evaluation findings fromCamp Invention suggest that week-long summer programs related to invention can demonstratepositive outcomes for students that mirror those seen in other STEM summer camps, as well asin year-long invention programs. With these findings in mind, the evaluation of the 2019Summer Accelerator was
(p 9).Therefore, the development and skill of empathizing with others, has become a necessity forfuture engineers to be successful in the workplace. With this necessity comes the need to designlearning experiences that encourage engineering students’ understanding of their users andstakeholders. According to a study conducted by Walther, Miller, and Kellam (2012), studentsneed “authentic” experiences in their engineering studies to develop and foster empathy [3]. Inthis paper, authentic experience will be defined as experience involving real-world contexts thatreflect the work of professionals.Service-learning in EngineeringService-learning strives to develop students into lifelong learners who are mindful of theircommunities and the world

at asouthwestern university. This program aimed to expose its students, those in grades 6 through12, to the field of engineering and provide them with a basic foundation of knowledge that wouldbe useful to them should they pursue a collegiate degree in engineering. Participating in thisprogram also allows students the opportunity to experience life on a university campus, gain self-confidence, refine their self-identity, collaborate with like-minded individuals, and increase theirknowledge of engineering. In order to do so, NM PREP utilized hands-on activities, field trips,opportunities for group work, and lectures that revolved around a variety of engineeringdisciplines including Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Geomatics/Survey

The effort allowedundergraduate engineering students to develop games, and 3D VR equipment yielding excellentresults where the educational games developed had to work with the VR equipment they alsodesigned and built.Conclusion and Future WorkThe summer workshop engaged the participants effectively in learning game development andVR technology. Three critical observations from the workshop include: 1) a limitation ofimmersion time into the program. Participants observed that the 2-day time frame wasinsufficient for them to learn what was expected. Authors concur and have doubled the workshopto 4 days for similar workshops in the future. 2) inability to ascertain whether the workshopchanged some students minds to
