IntroductionIn the last decade, there has been a significant increase of the number of community engagementprograms and a growth in research on these programs. As a result of this upsurge, newpublication venues have also been established, including the International Journal of ServiceLearning in Engineering (IJSLE) founded in 20041, and the new ASEE Community Engagementdivision founded in 2013.2 Related research has primarily focused on students, with particularemphasis on knowledge and skills; attitudes and identities; recruitment, retention, and diversity;and professional

capital,belonging, engagement in the classroom, and others.Research Background & MotivationA motivation for the community-based experiences highlighted in the engineering educationpractices like service learning is to improve academic engagement. Working to improve interest,i.e., engagement, as well as aptitude enables not only an increase in the number of studentstrained for the technical workforce but also a broadening of their capabilities beyond the purelytechnical. Engineers with this broader world view will be poised to lead valuable technicalinnovation in the 21st century.1 The literature, gathered from higher education, K-12, andorganizational psychology clearly supports the importance of community in influencingengagement and

mapping exercise in which they were encouraged to consider how “community” isdefined by thinking about what communities they belong to. In the first group meeting, theinstructor asked students to free-write about communities they belong to: What are thosecommunities? What defines them? Who are the members? How does one come to belong? Aftersharing, students discussed initial ideas of what it means to do an engineering project that is“engaged with a community”. Following the initial meeting, students spent two weeks reading (out-of-class) and discussing(in-class) critiques of ETH projects, including references [1], [3], [6], [7]. The first week ofreadings were assigned by the instructor, while the second week of readings were generated bythe class

The population of homeowners served are those most at risk forremaining in their homes and are those in need. Most are at risk and are in need because they aresubsisting on a fixed income, whose buying power continues to fall over time, and who live at orbelow the poverty level. Many also have medical bills that consume much of their income, whichforces them to put off needed home repairs and modifications. This population generally includesbut is not limited to senior citizens, the disabled, families with children, single parenthouseholds, and veterans.

Effective documentation is important since projects are designed bystudents who generally only work on the projects for a single academic year. Course instructorsmay change as well, but the documentation can assure that there is continuity from one year tothe next. Thus, effective documentation is critical for project sustainability, allowing for futurestudents and instructors to assess past community

The SLDPC is offered as a non-credit course to the students outside of the core curriculum.MethodsIn each program, students were asked to reflect at the end of the semester which is also called asfinal reflection. We chose the final reflections from Spring 2020 semester to be investigated forthis study.Jacoby’s [16] general criteria for assessing service-learning reflection was used as the frameworkfor evaluating student reflections which Jacoby adapted from Bradley [17].

When we enterinto a partnership, we attempt to tailor our support based on the particular needs of the schooland its educators. While this means that each partnership is unique, they generally fall into threecategories: (1) brief encounters, (2) continued encounters, and (3) sustained encounters. Below,we report on the nature of each of these types of encounters. After describing the type ofencounter, we follow with an example, and end by reporting the lessons we have learned.Brief EncountersBrief encounters are partnerships in which we

-building, for example, community designers(especially youth) are rarely in the lead. Often, the sense of urgency in a disaster recoverysituation creates a “help the helpless” mindset among aid agencies, and also creates a timeausterity that conflicts with listening, building local consensus, and modifying recovery plans [1][2] [3]. Few funding channels are open to community teams to design and implement their ownsolutions. It is difficult for community designers to access scholarly research and technicalengineering, and difficult for sophisticated engineers to embrace simple, inexpensive solutions.To put this in perspective, we understand development approaches in general, and disaster reliefapproaches in particular, to fall under one of four

Next, the project must be worthwhile intrinsically; it is likely that K-12 outreach willmeet this criterion from the perspective of the college student feeling like they are inspiring thenext generation. It is possible that some program types may fulfill this to a lesser degree, if thecollege students feel they are just “babysitting” in an afterschool program, for example. The thirdcriterion is “must present problems that awaken new curiosity and create a demand forinformation” [11, p. 80]. If the college students are mentoring creative projects with K-12 kids, itis likely they will be asked questions they struggle to answer, which creates an impetus for themto deepen their own knowledge of engineering and science
