Yet while there is broad consensus on the benefits of local community engagementprograms in engineering schools, scholars express contrasting views regarding activities andplacements of students in communities abroad5,6,7. Additionally, many humanitarian projectshave failed over the years because they do not properly involve community members and donot take into account the cultural, social, historical, and political realities where projects areundertaken.8 This can create tensions between the needs of university programs and theirpartner communities, which often

, Competencies, and Trust Measured in Student SurveysAbstractAerospace engineering students at the Florida Institute of Technology are required to complete a3-semester capstone design project. In their junior year students propose topics, form teams, andwrite a proposal for their senior project, then as seniors they complete preliminary and detaileddesign, then fabricate and test their system. Their efforts culminate in a Student DesignShowcase, where industry participants judge the final projects. Many students identify thecapstone design project as the most significant event in their academic career.
