In addition to lectures, which provide content addressing a range ofengineering design and analysis topics, the in-person course consisted of two hands-on projects.The first project was completed individually and was designed to introduce students to the mainengineering skills – including basic CAD, shop tools, and analysis techniques – that they wouldneed for the rest of the course. The end-of-quarter robot design project was completed in teamsand was designed to test the students’ learned ability in design, manufacturing, and engineeringanalysis. Students were provided with various building materials, as well as with access to adesign studio with

, and Lifestyle”: Engineering Students’ Perceptions of Homelessness and Implications for Social Justice EducationAbstractThis paper describes how engineering students in a lower division user-centered design courseframed issues of homelessness within an engineering context. We focused on the issue ofhomelessness as the context for the course’s design project because it is one of the largestsocial justice issues impacting the area where the University of the Borderland (pseudonym) islocated. The goal was to determine how the project influenced students’ perceptions ofhomelessness and the role of engineers in this social justice issue. Results indicated thatstudents tend to frame issues of homelessness in simplistic terms aligned

In order to encourage critical analysis of design standards, especiallyhuman-related factors, a new design project was implemented that incorporates Autonomous Vehi-cles (AVs). Working in multi-disciplinary teams, students were required to develop new geometricdesign standards for fully autonomous AVs together with human cyclists on a principal arterial inPuerto Rico. The class was given an introductory lecture on AVs, after which they were requiredto review the literature, modify existing standards, and implement the findings into their roadwaydesigns. The teams evaluated the human-related aspects of design by re-considering multiple ge-ometric design parameters

The project was to design a neighborhood for those transitioningout of homelessness and into greater self-sufficiency. The design had to fit within a budget determined bygrant money sought by CCC. There were engineering challenges concerning how to build sustainable tinyhomes and use rainwater harvesting to support an urban garden. Student designers also had to learn thebasics of social work and poverty alleviation so that they could design a neighborhood that would buildconfidence and community for homeless individuals. Frequently, the homeless we served were coming outof addictions and had deficient relational skills.We conducted the class
