professional development was presented in a blended mannerusing both asynchronous and synchronous meetings platforms to support collaboration.Participating teachers came to the synchronous meetings with a list of potential topics that couldbe used to connect engineering to their local school community. During the synchronoussessions, teachers worked with project team members to further develop these ideas and plan forlesson implementation the following academic year.IntroductionConnecting the engineering curricula with the local community to build relevance andauthenticity has been a central focus of this project. Correspondingly, place-based perspectiveshave largely informed the study and curriculum development process. “Teaching and learningalways

willcause students to look at their design and evaluate all possible modes of failure. The RiskAssessment phase helps students to evaluate how much risk each possible failure poses tothe project. This leads to the prioritization of the various analyses and designmodifications required for success. The Risk Mitigation phase leads the students intocritical problem solving. While they probably would have gotten there anyway, all toooften it would have been at the last minute and created ensuing panics. By using TRM,they are forced into problem solving mode earlier in the project, thus avoiding the panicmode. The steps developed in the risk mitigation plan will be driven by the student’scourse of study. However, the concepts are equally viable for

While this decision is reasonable from an operational andresource management perspective, research on large classes have shown that students sufferdecreased academic engagement, motivation and achievement [3]–[5] . Instructors, on the otherhand, report having difficulty establishing rapport with their students and a growing inability tomonitor students’ learning gains and provide quality individualized feedback [4]–[6].

Activities included communityfocus group and mapping sessions. Drawing workshops for the village children were alsoconducted with the intention of integrating the children’s artwork into the project design. Whilethe physical output of these activities was important, gaining an understanding of the socialinteractions (i.e. identity and social “performances”) was deemed critical to developing aproposal that was responsive to the needs of the community.

Given that it is rare for students on ourcampus to take on a task as seemingly large as developing a makerspace, we feel it is necessaryto highlight the resources and infrastructure needed in terms of people, facilities, and funding

This would have increasedthe use of the GIS resources in the library. The status of the new program will be discussed laterin this paper.The implementation of the geospatial data visualization support system began with the purchaseof a dedicated computer and proprietary software ArcGISTM, together with some digitaldatabases to compliment current collection within the Penn State University system.

Our methodology is no different. We beginwith the standard lifecycle process for a system (see Figure 1) [2]. Each step in theprocess has an associated product. During the analysis phase, the students are taught todevelop a simplified Problem Specification. During the design phase, the studentsdevelop an algorithm using either pseudocode or a flowchart that attempts to answer theProblem Spec. At this point, the test plan is also developed.
