Each camp adopted the LPS frameworkand trained 20 students from grades 2-8 for a week. To ensure direct hands-on experiences, fourstudents shared one set of hardware during practice sessions. Across the three camps, there was anoticeable increase in positive feedback regarding returning to the camp, participating in FIRSTrobotics programs, and recommending the camp to others. This improvement confirms theeffectiveness of the LPS framework to prepare the team to make a bigger and more positiveimpact as the trainers accumulate more experiences through the learning-practice-service cycle.Notably, one child from

“Writing is both a cognitive process and a deeply social process” (p. 583). Teaching engineeringstudents to write supports the development of their capacity to critically develop relationshipsbetween their communication purpose, intended audience, and the arguments, evidence, andreasons that will persuade their readers. Also, it supports their ability to build, test, and criticallyreflect on knowledge. Thus, Berdanier and Alley argue, “we do not think that outsourcing this[writing] process is good for the development of expertise, especially for early career[engineering] students” (p. 583). Engineering educators should thus attend to the when/howwriting is taught with/without GenAI. As Irish (1999) explains, “Careless use of writing may

INTRODUCTIONEngineering has a considerable role in addressing many of the challenges facing society. Engineeringschools and the engineering professional bodies have increasingly recognized that for the engineeringdiscipline to reach its full potential, all segments of society must be included. Engineering mustactively engage and help promote the pursuit of engineering education and engineering careers withthose individuals who have been historically under-represented within the field. For example, femaleparticipation in the engineering profession is considerably below the proportion of females in societyat large (Figure 1). As a result of this differential, Engineers Canada launched the 30 by 30 EngineersCanada initiative which aims by 2030 to increase to 30

typical engineering program, they tend tobecome more disengaged in social issues, and this disengagement is seen to persist into theirprofessional careers [12] [13] [14]. Lack of engagement around social issues can cause situationsof environmental injustice to be perpetuated in engineered systems [12]. Still, in manyengineering programs, “engineering neutrality” in design is a defined part of the curriculum, andstudents are explicitly taught to depoliticize their engineering solutions [15]. By depoliticizingengineering, students focus only on the technical aspects of a project and not the socialimplications. This pedagogical choice ultimately negatively impacts the engineering profession.Focusing on social and environmental justice in engineering

What does studying in a male-dominated space mean forwomen? There are different expectations that women must meet in engineering spaces. Oneaspect is to behave in certain ways to be accepted and valued. Such behaviors involve showing alack of self-assurance, ambition, and initiative, which avoids confrontations with their male peersbut also limits women’s career opportunities [4].

Attendees may have a lot of questionsabout the rigor of the degree and the career culture afterwards. These questions are often trickyin this environment, but the best answer is the honest answer. Students may ask questions aboutfailing course work or about experiencing discrimination. These kinds of questions and storiescan be so impactful to all students that question whether they belong in the engineeringdiscipline when they experience failure in their degree [40].
