Concord Community Development Corporation (CCDC), teamed up for an innovative undertaking in community partnership. The pilot project involved the rehabilitation of an abandoned, three-room house located near the IUPUI campus. Students enrolled in a senior level design course elected to tackle this project in lieu of the traditional “Semester-End Design Project” required in the class. This paper will describe some of the lessons learned from this pilot project and attempt to provide a blue print for the integration of similar community projects into the engineering technology curriculum.IntroductionDr. Ernest Boyer, President of the Carnegie Foundation for Advancement of Teaching, describesthe “New

Understanding of social justiceissues and the ability to engage in sociotechnical thinking are vital aspects of engineers' skill setsin the 21st century, but many engineering programs present content in ways that obscure orminimize these critical links. It is well-understood that student motivation is critical forengagement and learning to take place in the classroom. In our case, achieving participation andengagement in discussions and projects related to social justice requires motivated action on thepart of both students and faculty.

With the goal of investigating the context and process of learningengineering, Sherry recorded her learning progress, self-efficacy, and observations in a journaland discussed her experiences with other researchers involved in this project. Data wereexamined through the lens of Bandura’s self-efficacy model. At the beginning of the class,Sherry started with moderately high self-efficacy; however, poor team communication andfailure in her first design project significantly decreased her perceived self-efficacy. She also hadtool phobia due to unfamiliarity with
