-calculus mandatory course, through a co-creation process, in which teachers, researchers, and students participated. As result of this process, ten context-oriented and challenge-based didactic guides were created using robotics, mathematics, realistic problems and XXI century skills. Furthermore, teachers and students' perception changed positively, and students using the new curriculum were found to have much better completion rates in their pre-calculus course. This article presents a community engagement model to design and implement engineering education curriculums, where the engagement of multiple parties for problem identification and solution development, that could help students to obtain better math results

As such,there is a growing need to establish empirical and theoretical understandings of thesecommunities and their impacts on faculty in order to better inform best practices. The current research takes a mixed methods approach to understand the participation,perceptions and outcomes of a New Faculty Learning Community (NFLC) program in theCollege of Engineering at a large Midwestern research university in the United States. Drawingfrom existing research on FLCs and theories in socialization and community practice, this studycontributes to the

The main reason we were able to recruit adequate volunteers lied in theway we designed our engineering curriculum [5].To graduate from our engineering programs, all students were required to complete a one unitcourse called Engineering Service. In this course, there was no classroom meeting scheduled.Instead, each registered student needed to volunteer 30 hours of community services. Onceregistered, the students had two years to complete the course. Most students followed therecommendation and started this course during their first year in the engineering program.This course, and the graduation requirement, not only ushered students into various activitiesserving the

Couvreur and Goossens [1] argue that industrialized rehabilitation design solutionsdon’t approach the design with enough time to properly consider if a user need is satisfied, andalso that there exists an economic incentive for companies to create a universal, rather thanspecific, solution for patients. In contrast, there is power in developing community-basedrehabilitation solutions for people with disabilities; local solutions that reflect physical,emotional, and cognitive needs

To facilitate this approach, the curriculum was developed around key concepts andquestions, rather than around lectures and information dissemination. By creating general areasof inquiry that span across disciplines, multiple faculty could provide the perspectives of theirown disciplines to inform a broader understanding of the topic relevance.

American Society for Engineering Education, 2015Engineering Your Community: Experiences of Students in a Service-Learning Engineering Design CourseAbstract:One of the significant issues facing engineering over the past several decades has been therecruitment and retention of students, particularly minority and female students. One methodthat has proven fruitful in attracting these groups is to utilize a service-learning approach to showthe applicability of course content and the ways that it can positively affect others. Manyprograms, such as Engineers Without Borders, target service opportunities for engineers in adeveloping country and typically attract a higher percentage of female and minority participantsthan the national
