Finally, it concludes with lessonslearned from this criteria development and curricular integration for engineering educatorscommitted to educating students to become socially responsible engineers and making theirprojects both socially just and sustainable for communities.1. IntroductionIn engineering education, there has been a proliferation of projects aimed at communitydevelopment, most of these motivated by strong personal desires to help solving big andcomplex problems like poverty, climate change, lack of drinkable water, etc. and also byinstitutional needs to enhance students experiences and professional development, exposure tointernational education, and, in some cases, to contribute to program

A total of 71 students were enrolled in this course. These students entered the course withno prior background in design courses or team working. The reason this course was selected forthe study is the nature of the course which allows students to enter a new world of problemsolving. Unlike the other theoretical classes

One CanSat (Can-Satellite) training program for teachers, that later will perform similarprojects with their students, is a very effective tool to motivate students into STEM. During theprogram, teachers build a “very small and simple satellite” (a pico-satellite) that has similarfunctions as larger ones. They learn how to plan, design and solve problems as if they were on areal space mission. The objective of our study is to measure the performance of teachers as

IntroductionWithin the last decade, there has been a push for engineering to be taught in the K-12 schoolsystem. Integrating engineering into the classroom is especially important due to the expressedneed for engineers from organizations such as the National Academy of Engineering and fromreports like PCAST that predicted a need for one million more STEM professionals by 2020 [1],[2]. In addition to this expressed need, research shows that students begin making career choicesas early as, if not before, high school, so it is important they gain an understanding of
