Understanding our students as citizen scientists andengineers is a powerful reframing for educators and our future graduates who we hope to bediverse, active, and engaged citizens solving problems of critical importance. 3This paper looks at the role extracurricular activities conducted in the midst of the nationalmakerspace movement has on design thinking in engineering education.

, and Lifestyle”: Engineering Students’ Perceptions of Homelessness and Implications for Social Justice EducationAbstractThis paper describes how engineering students in a lower division user-centered design courseframed issues of homelessness within an engineering context. We focused on the issue ofhomelessness as the context for the course’s design project because it is one of the largestsocial justice issues impacting the area where the University of the Borderland (pseudonym) islocated. The goal was to determine how the project influenced students’ perceptions ofhomelessness and the role of engineers in this social justice issue. Results indicated thatstudents tend to frame issues of homelessness in simplistic terms aligned

While several theories of retention have emerged over the last few decades, two havedominated the theory and practice of retention: 1. Tinto’s academic and social integration model 8, 9, 10 and 2. Astin’s involvement model 11, 12In a nutshell, Tinto and Astin suggest that retention and persistence to graduation occurs whenstudents successfully integrate into the institution academically and socially and when students areinvolved and connected.

Capstone design course is a critical component in mostengineering and science undergraduate curricula to preparation senior students for their future STEMcareers. However, the quality of capstone design projects does not always meet the expectation due tothe limited resources and support. Although capstone courses are now standard in engineering andscience programs across the US, the associated required logistics and the
