The motivation for developing this course was to alleviate this problematicaspect of service learning. A curriculum was designed with the goal that students would seethemselves in solidarity with, instead of separate from or better than, struggles in their home orcampus communities.Background“Engineering to Help” (ETH) is a term coined by Schneider, et al., [1] to encompass the growingnumber of collegiate programs- including service learning, humanitarian engineering, sustainabledevelopment, and others- that share a mission to “help” communities “in need”. ETH programshave been broadly criticized on the

Engineering instructors at the University of Waterloo have identified a lack of opportunitiesfor students to practice their need finding skills prior to fourth year. As a result, a set of needfinding instructional activities were conducted in-class for one term. The objective of thisresearch is to conduct evidence-based program improvement by identifying the teachingpractices that improve need finding competencies in engineering graduates.

To combat plagiarism, project-centric programming courses often use plagiarism softwarelike Stanford MOSS in order to flag and investigate potential plagiarism cases. The idea behindthe use of such a program is that of deterrence: If these tools are good enough at detectingplagiarized code, and students are aware of their existence, then students will not plagiarize, lestthey get caught with solid, algorithmic proof behind the potential accusation. In practice, it is notso simple. Some students attempt to beat plagiarism programs. More difficult still is whenstudents are not aware of their own

Whilelectures and readings may provide teams with basic tools for team and project management,these correlate team success with the creation of a high-quality final design [14]. Such tools mayinadvertently cue students to distribute work according to stereotypical social roles in the beliefthat by having team members “play to their strengths,” they are doing what is best for the team[15]. Such task distribution may limit new learning across
