Students described the benefits oflearning an effective socially engaged design process to plan their projects, engaging withstakeholders to gather important information regarding their needs, learning recommendedpractices in idea generation, and creating prototypes before coding. On the other hand, studentsdescribed perceived challenges including lacking experience in socially engaged design skillsthat may impact their ability to implement skills from the workshops effectively, identifying andconnecting with stakeholders who could provide meaningful information, and

Assess success and provide support during the completed project demonstration.A presentation consisting of information pertaining to the challenge was developed by PWC. Itincluded information about the important roles freshwater mussels have in their environments,several engaging videos, an outline of our goal, and the parameters of the challenge.

Proposals were created for degrees in mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering(“the holy grail,” as one long-time faculty member put it) plus the official creation of a Collegeof Engineering. The then-UGA president (and BAE Dept head) waited for the right time politi-cally to present these proposals to the state of Georgia’s Board of Regents. Finally, in late 2010,these proposals were approved. The Board of Regents vote was tied 8-8, so the Board Chairmade the deciding vote.

Students communicated their thinking even as they synchronouslyplanned and created. Similarly, children could change their designs to improve traps as they werein the creation stage, in order to “promote creativity and a solution” that best suited the problem[5]. This model is representative of skills students need for 21st century jobs and is intentional asa nonlinear model of problem-solving and is open-ended at each stage of the design process. Figure 1.
