From presentation slides prepared by Olga Pierrakos and presented to diverse stakeholders.Vision for PedagogyUsing a backward design process described previously, it became obvious to the founding teamthat a commitment had to be made for the first-year engineering experience to follow project-based learning pedagogy and in general student-centered pedagogies. The Founding Chair andone of the founding faculty had experience with project-based engineering courses and movedquickly in identifying stakeholders that could make the projects authentic. In the first year, thefounding team co-designed and co-taught two engineering courses that culminated to (a) 5unique

The shift in language is criticalbecause it works to dismantle the imperialist, white-centered, patriarchal notions of what itmeans for engineers to engage with “the community” [38]. The authors note, “The term serviceconnotes a one-directional flow of ideas, resources, and expertise from engineers to communityrecipients” [38, p. 2], while “exchange connotes equal partnership, and a bidirectional flow ofideas, resources, ways of knowing and being, and expertise” [38, p.2].
