Because the capstone design experience in the final year requires formal oralpresentations and an extensive written report, the design course sequence is assigned atarget of “3”. A laboratory course that has a focus on written reports might be assigned atarget of “2” or “3”, depending on the emphasis placed on writing or presentations.

Drones come with an ideal combination oftechnical and ethical challenges that will force students from both schools to wrestle togetherwith unfamiliar questions. One of our primary learning outcomes will be for this struggle tocultivate individual empathy across disciplinary boundaries. Put more practically, we want thestudents to understand how using alternative disciplinary frameworks changes theirunderstanding of problems.

One of the specific goals is to address needs ofpeople who have been largely ignored by the engineering community [12]. Over the last decade,humanitarian engineering programs and organizations have emerged in large numbers in the US.Additionally, humanitarian engineering programs typically tend to attract larger number of femalestudents than mainstream engineering programs.

The academic connection refers to the learning aspect students gain throughcoursework and hands-on experiences, and is oftentimes, multidisciplinary. The reciprocalpartnership between the university and the community partner must be beneficial for both. Onechallenge of service learning versus traditional capstone projects is that a meaningful, ongoingrelationship with the community must be maintained [4].
