. Since then, there have beennumerous adapted definitions proposed and used by various researchers and educators [1]. Thedefinition used in this paper was proposed by Bringle, et al. in 2006: Service learning is a credit-bearing educational experience in which students (a) participate in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs and (b) reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of personal values and civic responsibilityThis definition of service learning works well for engineering classes because it explicitlydescribes the goal of students both identifying and working

Three types of optimizations came from faculty feedback.  The firstconsidered feedback regarding delivery and/or nature of the content that influenced a subsequentmodule.

My question that I keep coming back to is what is the added value of collecting data on the classroom observations? Are we actually going to analyze them? And if we do, what are we doing that for? I’d rather capture all of that in the interviews than I would in a classroom observation and just kind of take them for granted that it’s reflective of what they actually did.” Lucas: ”Yeah.

The CSSE isa self-report measure of statistics self-efficacy while the SRA is a scored and criterion-based assessment ofstatistical reasoning skills and misconceptions. Both instruments were developed by statistics educationresearchers and have been consistently used to measure learning and interventions in collegiate statisticseducation.

This reflects asimilar pattern as Goldin’s idealized positive pathway where elation leads to satisfaction,although students completing our survey were hesitant to describe their positive emotions withelation, tending instead towards accomplishment, confidence, etc.The least commonly used words in Spring 2022 were elation, despair, and fear; all three of thesewords were new in the Spring 2022 version of the survey, which suggests that their

These experiences embedded inthe curriculum and engineering design courses allows engineering students to develop anempathic formation compass required to flourish in co-design processes (Smeenk et al., 2019).In engineering education, especially in programs tending towards engineering science, teachingempathy needs careful pedagogical consideration. As such the need for empathy in engineeringneeds to be more visible to students to make meaningful and purposeful connections with priorassumptions and foster epistemic attitudes toward the construct (Walther et al., 2020).

The increased emphasis is reflected by theinclusion of CT in the Standards for Technological and Engineering Literacy (STEL) [2] and theNext Generation Science Standards (NGSS) [1]. These standards promote the integration of CTwithin authentic, design-based engineering and science contexts. While the benefits ofintegrating CT and engineering practices are clear, there is still much to learn about the methodsused to integrate CT within authentic engineering design challenges.
