opportunity for students toexperience how they can make a difference together through improvement of lives andcommunities (National Academy of Engineering [NAE], 2008). In most recent years, service-learning research is increasing as the number of highereducation institutions implementing new programs expands. One benefit of service-learning forstudents is the development of personal self-efficacy through community service (Reeb, Folger,Langsner, Ryan, & Crouse, 2010). Service-learning is significant as women in STEM majorsreported lower levels of leader efficacy than women in non-STEM majors (Dugan et al., 2013).Other researchers argue additional gains include social justice, ethics, and civility (Britt, 2012;Harkavy & Hartley, 2010

students were resentful and felt theyearned more scholarship or were only admitted because of their race or ethnicity. With respect to the overall academic experience, several students indicated that the schoolwas challenging; nonetheless, it is possible to get through with a strong work ethic and dedication.One reason this is possible is the strong connection between the students, faculty, and staff. Onestudent stated that they had been dismissed from the university twice due to academic issues butwas determined not to fail nor to return home. They were able to overcome these challenges withlong nights, working hard, prayer and speaking to professors and mentors. They understood thatthe overall goal was graduation even if the overall GPA

Bio-inspired Design Using C-K TheoryIntroductionThe engineer of 2020 is expected to not only offer technical ingenuity but also adapt to acontinuously evolving environment. The ability to operate outside the narrow limits of onediscipline and be ethically grounded in solving the complex problems of the future will also beneeded. To address the competencies of the future engineer, undergraduate education must trainstudents to not only solve engineering challenges that transcend disciplinary boundaries, but alsocommunicate, transfer knowledge, and collaborate across technical and non-technical boundaries.One approach to train engineers in these competencies is teaching biomimicry or bio-inspireddesign in an engineering curriculum, which offers

a general email to thousands, or a brief presentation todozens, the student designers demonstrated an ethic of care by speaking individually with eachstudent.The new Pod members would be equally distributed, and each new Pod would include at leasttwo members of the student design team to serve as seeds of the desired community norms andpractices. During the first term the Pods were expected to meet a 2-5 times to agree on their ownmethods of achieving the four Pod goals. While the student designers developed materials andexamples of activities and practices that were likely to achieve the goals, none were specificallyrequired. This allowed the Pods the flexibility to develop individually, informed by the peopleparticipating.We have also

medical device prototype.Gamma PrototypeStudents are posed with the task of developing a final prototype board game usingvarious engineering skills such as Computer Aided Design (CAD) and machiningtools. The students are given complete freedom over the development of the gamebut are required to develop rigorous explanation for all design additions to theboard game. Through this process students learn statistical analysis, design ofexperiment techniques, decision-making techniques, and fundamentals ofbusiness and technical management. Additionally, aspects of technical,regulatory, economic, legal, social, and ethical aspects are employed and asked toof students to consider when developing the prototype.Design Challenge (DC)The design challenge is
the faculty give students technical content alongwith social context, critical analysis, and ethical consequences of their work19. A more generalapproach where the students understand basic engineering principles, but also the ability toresearch and learn more specialized knowledge as they need it, is more common place inengineering education19. Many freshman engineering classes use individual and group work,“hands-on” projects, written communications, and oral presentations as an introduction to futureengineering coursework. Research shows improved learning outcomes and higher retention rateswhen students are involved in an interactive learning environment 11. Employers have concurredwith this by requesting more focus on oral and written
