. Recentframeworks, including the science and engineering practices in the Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS) [7] and the National Academy of Engineering ([8, 9]), heighten the need forengaging K-12 students in engineering activities in school. Yet, limited access remains a problem.Fewer than 6 million of the nation’s 56 million students have encountered engineering education.Many students, including women and minorities, have limited access to high quality STEMlearning experiences ([10, 11]). Moreover, typical K-12 math and science classrooms rarelyprovide students with the chance to engage in authentic problem-based or design learning. In fact,these opportunities decline as students progress through school. For example, in a national reportof science

As previously stated, apreliminary identification of educational programs has been completed, with other relevantdocumentation provided by relevant conference organizers of events our research team hasalready attended. A thorough review of literature and public-facing material which articulates aconnection between these otherwise disparate fields will be conducted. This project aims tobridge the intellectual and practical gaps between groups of engineers for good, who ultimatelyhave similar goals, but they do not know how to communicate with each other.

howdifficult it is for students in these courses to be fully engaged during the whole term. In theselaboratory experiences, students are typically required to do some calculations following theconcepts from lectures, and then compare them to the results of simulations and directmeasurements on a simple circuit. While this approach gives students the basic skills to useelectronic instrumentation, the experimental work is, by design, self-contained, withoutchallenging students to concepts beyond those described in those modules. Furthermore, theseinitial experiments do not show freshman students the real applications of electronic circuits inelectrical engineering (technology).To combat these limitations, the author has developed a set of exercises that

University MarylandLoyola University Maryland has a long and distinguished history in community engagement.This has resulted in some enduring and long-term partnerships with the community. Many ofthese partnerships have naturally evolved around the need for educational resources, specificallytutoring, in the K-12 environment. The nature of the undergraduate population at the institutionand their majors has made initiating and establishing service-learning in the STEM fields moreof a challenge. There are examples from biology, chemistry, and health related fields, butpartnerships around engineering, math, and physics are rarer at the institution. One of thedifficulties is finding either a single project or an on-going service that can be at the

The city of Berlin and itsFrench, U.S. and U.K. sectors were isolated within Soviet occupied East Germany. A politicalblockade prevented food and supplies transportation by rail or road to the Allied sections ofBerlin. To sustain these areas, France, U.S. and U.K. circumvented the blockade through“Operation Vittles” an air transportation program that delivered more than 2.3 million tons offood, fuel and supplies to the residents of West Berlin. More than 278,000 airdrops were madeby American aircrews, accounting for about 189,000 flights, and

Students who want to further engage withprogram partners can elect to pursue a minor in Humanitarian Engineering and can deepen their immersionexperience through a summer service-learning internship program. Beyond graduation, students canvolunteer with program partners via the year-of-service program which also provides them with thequalifications to apply for the graduate fellowship for international development program where they canpursue a master’s degree in Sustainable Engineering.

I am very thankful that I had the chance to connect my research to the world through my trip to Madagascar, and because of this research, I have really started to understand humanitarian engineering and connect it to the world in a way I have never been able to do in the classroom. I would say that it is important to have at least some interest in humanitarian engineering within this research because it has allowed to me to see the bigger picture and think about the research beyond just the technical aspect.”Student 3: “At first

of things. According to him, this can mean a big picture of the overall course,or a big picture of each individual concept. He contends that the ability to see the big picture notjust help students to learn better but it also keeps them motivated and curious.On the other hand, Felder & Silverman (1988) talks about students with varying levels ofsequential and global learning styles. While some students may want to start with knowing thebig picture of things, others might get overwhelmed by the information. The pre-recorded videosproved to be very helpful to achieve the goal of helping each student learn through their ownpreferred learning style. Initially the pre-recorded videos were provided to students one week inadvance and the idea
