Though some work remained with the projects to create a uniformlook and include text panels that matched the rest of the exhibit, the director was overall verypleased with the work done by the students.Developing service opportunities for the online students was a greater challenge, and a fairamount of time was spent determining how to incorporate service learning into an onlineenvironment. Ultimately, it was decided to take a student-led approach, where teams were givenan opportunity to develop and implement their own project ideas. As a back-up plan for thispilot, there were options for groups that were not able to come to a consensus. Of the projectgroups, two teams developed their own ideas (website for engineering students, STEM

These include, for example, how aculture deals with time or space; how a culture regards honor, power, or identity; whether themembers of a culture operate as a collective or as individuals; and to what extent the culturepractices long-term or short-term planning.

concepts students hold at agiven time, and are commonly used as a pre-course assessment to plan instruction, and as apre/post measure to assess the effectiveness of instruction [45-48].Traditionally, concept inventories are guided by the notion of the assessment triangle, aconceptual framework that includes cognition—what students know; observation—whatevidence we seek about their knowledge; and interpretation—how we interpret the evidenceabout their knowledge. Others expanded this notion into an assessment square focused on clearlydefining the construct of interest, the means to assess the construct, the observation or evidencecollected through that means, and the interpretation of the evidence collected [49, 50].

IntroductionThose who have a relationship of use with design solutions – defined as “users” – play animportant role in engineering design projects [1]. The use of any technology is defined by thosewho use that technology [2]–[7], and user acceptance strongly influences which technologiesbecome widely adopted [7]–[10]. Designers may interact with users for a number of reasons,such as to elicit user requirements or to solicit

Recipients get access to things that didn’t yet exist or they can’t afford while studentsdevelop new skills and gain valuable, resume building, experience. Further, students get realwork experience working with “clients” while wrestling with balancing function, durability,fabrication time, cost, scheduling, planning, communication, ergonomics, user experience, etc.Finally, service learning projects build and reinforce strong relationships between educators,their administration, and their communities.

The participants should be required to pre-read the materials and to complete pre-workshopactivities to explore their own problems. Also, workshop leaders should communicate the entirecourse content to the participants in advance of the workshop, allowing for modifications.
