Performing civic-engagement projects without reflecting upon the experience is simply volunteerism [17]. For greatest impact towards the project goals, students must evaluate what happened, how the events fit within their curriculum and personal development, and how their behavior will change in the future as a result of the experience.

Introduction to systems engineeringcourses lack integration of current thinking on community engagement ethics and that absencecan be seen across the systems engineering curriculum, as well. We ask: How do we createlearning opportunities/engineering interventions that are technically sound, and also prioritizecommunity voice, cultural appropriateness, and contextual efficacy?

Many of the major university engineeringprograms familiar to the authors have reduced the student design experience from an entire vehicle toonly designing a small component of the overall product. The students may then use one solutionroutine for the component without having knowledge of the “best” solution for the entire product.Without being exposed to a variety of solution techniques and product integration, the student may notchoose an appropriate solution. Instructors in these programs are giving the students the how, withoutinstilling the knowledge of what or why.To connect the

According to Niess and Gailow-Wiles, thecontent development for online instruction should include collaborative activities, reflectiveactivities, clear assessment criteria, and integration of technology [7]. However, manyinstructors struggle due to a lack of training to adjust materials between the two deliverymethods [4]. For example, just adding a lengthy lecture and a textbook to a learning platformdoes not work well in an online or remote environment. Many institutions do not recognize theneed for this training or provide incentives to properly develop a class for a new delivery method[8].The last major theme related to online delivery is related to
