As aresult, the human centered design challenges in teams reproduces cultural narratives thatprivileges students’ technical competencies and work ethic [21].Although this reproduction does not inherently have a negative impact on the inclusion ofstudents, in the context of our camp it results in who is recognized as successful. Thisreproduction privileges students with who have a high self-efficacy for building things. As aresult, through our critical reflections, we discovered that we are missing an opportunity topromote the

opportunity for students toexperience how they can make a difference together through improvement of lives andcommunities (National Academy of Engineering [NAE], 2008). In most recent years, service-learning research is increasing as the number of highereducation institutions implementing new programs expands. One benefit of service-learning forstudents is the development of personal self-efficacy through community service (Reeb, Folger,Langsner, Ryan, & Crouse, 2010). Service-learning is significant as women in STEM majorsreported lower levels of leader efficacy than women in non-STEM majors (Dugan et al., 2013).Other researchers argue additional gains include social justice, ethics, and civility (Britt, 2012;Harkavy & Hartley, 2010

students were resentful and felt theyearned more scholarship or were only admitted because of their race or ethnicity. With respect to the overall academic experience, several students indicated that the schoolwas challenging; nonetheless, it is possible to get through with a strong work ethic and dedication.One reason this is possible is the strong connection between the students, faculty, and staff. Onestudent stated that they had been dismissed from the university twice due to academic issues butwas determined not to fail nor to return home. They were able to overcome these challenges withlong nights, working hard, prayer and speaking to professors and mentors. They understood thatthe overall goal was graduation even if the overall GPA

Individuals described that their unbalanced workload was either leading to academicsuccesses or in some cases, failures. Achievements often translated in a rise in self-esteem, gainsin leadership skills through the form of contingency planning, or in the skepticism of anybenefits within a team structure. Personal disappointments in academic efforts were addressed inthe form of self-loathing and uncertainty leading some to question their chosen line of study.

medical device prototype.Gamma PrototypeStudents are posed with the task of developing a final prototype board game usingvarious engineering skills such as Computer Aided Design (CAD) and machiningtools. The students are given complete freedom over the development of the gamebut are required to develop rigorous explanation for all design additions to theboard game. Through this process students learn statistical analysis, design ofexperiment techniques, decision-making techniques, and fundamentals ofbusiness and technical management. Additionally, aspects of technical,regulatory, economic, legal, social, and ethical aspects are employed and asked toof students to consider when developing the prototype.Design Challenge (DC)The design challenge is
the faculty give students technical content alongwith social context, critical analysis, and ethical consequences of their work19. A more generalapproach where the students understand basic engineering principles, but also the ability toresearch and learn more specialized knowledge as they need it, is more common place inengineering education19. Many freshman engineering classes use individual and group work,“hands-on” projects, written communications, and oral presentations as an introduction to futureengineering coursework. Research shows improved learning outcomes and higher retention rateswhen students are involved in an interactive learning environment 11. Employers have concurredwith this by requesting more focus on oral and written

The faculty members teaching these classeshave streamlined the course content of ME-335/L so as to better prepare students for the ME-435/L course.Course StructureME 335/L InstrumentationAll junior level students are required to enroll

Their submissions were graded by the instructor, who is iFixit certified andtrained, and by a team of outside evaluators at iFixit.Research QuestionsStudent veterans are accustomed to a previous lifestyle of pressure, regimented routine, and goalorientation. Finding ways to unite this group of students with traditional students in theclassroom can be difficult [16]. Veteran and active duty students bring persistence and mentaltoughness for academic work stemming from their goal-oriented work ethic in the military [17],[18]. Some of these veterans and active duty students initially entered college after high

The book introduced the activity involving the campersmaking slime.

These habitsdirectly support the approach that the campers exhibit for each of our engineering activities. Atthe end of each day, we identify campers from each team that best demonstrates each of thehabits to provide them with positive reinforcement, as well

This affects the individual experiences ofteam members, influences the quality of their solutions, and affects their ability to ethically andresponsibly solve complex problems. Student’s diversity compass affects team interactions and,ultimately, the climate of engineering for underrepresented groups.ConclusionsThe two main research questions we asked initially in this project were 1) What are individualstudent’s perceptions of diversity? and 2) What are student’s perceptions of working on diverseteams? We found many different ways first-year students at a large public land grant institutionunderstand and perceive diversity. We

Academy of Engineering and National ResearchCouncil Center for Education emphasized the teaching of the engineering design process (EDP)as a pedagogical strategy to teach science, mathematics and technology in a meaningful context.According to the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), EDP is definedas “the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs, specifications,codes, and standards within constraints such as health and safety, cost, ethics, policy,sustainability, constructability, and manufacturability. It is an iterative, creative, decision‐makingprocess in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences are applied toconvert resources optimally into solutions” [2]. EDP
