Community Engagement Division

. First, the project focuses on faculty community, rather thanexternal communities such as companies or local residential communities. The definition ofcommunity we adopted is not just in a physical location, but in an organizational location, in “thecooperation in labor, order and management,” (Tönnies, 2000, p. 43). This is important in ourconsideration of community of engagement, as we go beyond physical boundaries, such as thosebetween university and its wider locale, to cognitive boundaries, such as those within and amonguniversity colleges and departments. It is with this in mind that we define engagement andengaged communities. Second, it expands the definitions and model of community engagementby highlighting how engineering faculty

An advantage of mind mapping is that it enriches verbal descriptions with itspictures and relationship arrows.There are hundreds of different variations on brainstorming and creativity techniques that areuseful in engineering education. All have in common a step where the participants arechallenged to widen their view of the issues to be solved, so as to bring in a solution from awider field.

In this course, students experiencedmultiple levels of uncertainty and instructors offered permission as part of the course design tosafely take risks, fail, and move forward. As a result, final products were much more innovativeand creative in nature than ideas presented at the beginning of the class. Students recognized theimportance of the challenges they faced (group dynamics, work dynamics, distaste for the coursedesign and overwhelming amount of group work, etc.) in moving through the creative designprocess.With that in mind, we look to student reflections, specifically those of the engineering students,to identify strategies that contribute to creative practice and to help students

Using a variety of innovative programs andcourses, we teach engineers to tackle large, complex problems using a human-centered designprocess. These programs and courses emphasize real-world experience and outcomes, and ourstudents, from first-year to graduate students, deliver solutions to real clients while consideringsocial context and impact. Our programs teach students how to better serve society, and byoffering such opportunities, we help retain socially-minded students within engineering. Ourcurrent initiatives include efforts to not only add depth to our programs

Now is thetime for us (once again) to organize, to build coalitions, and to leverage all of our socialanalytical ability toward the effort of winning hearts and minds in support of the broad educationof engineers. What appeared to be consensus over EC2000 is now revealed to have been fragileat best, and we must work to strengthen and re-build this movement. I propose several ways inwhich the LEES Division can act as a clearinghouse with convening power to build coalitionsacross those who advocate for liberal education of engineers, across ASEE divisions, and acrossthe broader set of professional engineering societies, which comprise the membership of

With this in mind, the purpose of the course is toequip the students with technical and non-technical professional skills that could be implementedon engineering design problems, while working in a global team with different dynamics. For thestudents, to be successful in the course, they have to develop and sharpen skills in organization,time management, self-discipline, and technical writing, while working as a strong teammember.At the end of the school year, the capstone design course concludes with a one-day

Interpreting cartoons istherefore a valuable educational exercise, not just an attention-grabbing hook or mindlessentertainment. It crucially relies on skills that ABET values for engineering students, such asconsidering multiple perspectives and thinking about social contexts. When cartoons areanalyzed aloud during class, as discussed above, then students also practice oral communicationskills, including defining an explanation and listening with an open mind to others’interpretations.Like all sources, cartoons are multi-layered and
