ofprofessional skills (communication, teamwork, time management, etc.) and this was reflected inboth post-TWC surveys and those administered while the course was ongoing. Additionally,these students realized they would not learn everything about technical writing andcommunications to be successful in one semester, and they would have to become self-learnersand continue to be engaged in their continuous improvement.Both positive and negative feedback are crucial to the process of growing and improving anycourse. Negative feedback can show opportunities to improve. However, when there is positivefeedback, it allows the faculty to perceive that the course and internship experience arenecessities for some students to thrive and learn beyond the classroom

For continuation of this study, we areinterested in tracking the effect of the student council on the outcome and development of GCScholars in the following key areas: the quantity and quality of applicants to the Program,engagement from Scholars in GC-specific activities, and post-graduation pursuit of careers in theGrand Challenges. Beginning in fall 2020, we will track these areas in order to monitor the effectof the student council on the success within the Program.Although this is a qualitative study as opposed to an analysis across GCSPs at multipleuniversities, the

Community involvement in education has demonstrated, for the childreninvolved, higher engagement and interest in challenging curricula, higher academicachievements, and positive changes in behaviors [8]. Based on this data, it is evident that there isa critical need to help teachers from non-STEM backgrounds integrate STEM subjects into theirclassrooms.A team of interdisciplinary undergraduate student developers at UC Davis have organized aprogram that involves the student community in supporting teachers and sharing resources toincrease project-based STEM education.

the individualistic culture of the degree program played a significant role instudents switching majors (i.e. lack of engagement with their communities, lack of personalidentification with the field of engineering, and an overall sense of isolation). This individualisticculture was found to be particularly harmful to underrepresented minority (URM) students whoheld stronger feelings of obligations to help others, serve their communities, and act as rolemodels (Seymour and Hewitt 1997). The lack of female and URM role models in engineeringhas been found to negatively impact student performance and retention which exacerbates theperceived individualistic culture (Cole and Espinoza 2008, Griffith 2010, Felder 1995).Issues around attraction and

The motivation behind this approach was to encourage and engage students incuriosity-driven project-based learning within the framework of concepts discussed in the class.To advance the approach further, a central theme, focusing on a critical social problem, wasimplemented as a strategy for creating more social awareness, clarity, uniformity, and potentialoutreach impact to class assignments.

These beliefs help them personally determine what isimportant and what their role can be in supporting the educational needs of their children.

Among themany challenges, we underline here the following: • Reaching stronger cooperation between engineering faculty and humanities, allowing capstone projects focused on social impact and community development. ITA is a conservative institution in which capstone projects are driven to hardcore engineering and industrial ends. • Establishing a more articulated educative program around specific student projects, combining disciplines, service learning, and accredited activities. A possible way of doing so is integrating the engaged engineering program as a cluster into the recently established minor in

This is unfortunate since teachers can subconsciously pass on thesemisconceptions to their students and, as described above, careers that are perceived to helphumanity with high levels of community engagement may be more attractive to females andunderrepresented populations [5]. Therefore, in order for the US to achieve greater participationas well as increased racial and gender diversity in STEM, it is critical that teachers are providedwith opportunities to engage in professional development that helps increase their understandingof engineering as a career field [16, 17
