definition through collaboration withthe farm owner, the farm manager, and faculty advisors. The interns were tasked with identifyingspecific problems with the egg farm’s operations, researching potential solutions, and identifyingprojects for future students. This effort led to the identification of projects for a first-yearengineering design course, Innovation in Design (ENGR 115). ENGR 115 is a course focused on teaching students about teamwork and the design processthrough a quarter-long design project and is a requirement for all first-year engineering students.Student projects in this class are structured around researching, designing, and fabricating aprototype solution to a problem. There has been a recent effort by faculty to provide

, entrepreneurship projects of their ownideation, or competition projects (such as the Baja Society of Automobile Engineerscompetition). Additionally, each year a handful of teams out of the several dozen across thecollege work on community projects. By ‘community projects’ we refer to projects that emergedout of a community partnership and need/desire that the team will work to address in partnershipwith the community, which often entails community partner(s) serving as project mentors.Capstone design instructors guide the teams working on industry, entrepreneurship, andcommunity projects as a whole cohort, with all teams engaging in roughly the same projectmanagement and engineering design course activities, and subject to the same deadlines andanalogous

the structure for students to gain relevant community-engagement skills and knowledge was to reassess the learning objectives of the HE minor. Tothis end, several faculty, staff and students gathered three times in the 2017 spring and summersemesters. Several of these members participated in the Humanitarian Engineering AdvisoryCouncil, a voluntary committee of faculty and staff dedicated to the HE minor curriculum. Theprocess began with brainstorming a list of learning outcomes for the students. Additional facultyand staff added learning outcomes they felt were pertinent to the list. The final list of 29 learningobjectives was then coded by all faculty teaching courses within the HE minor to see whether ornot their class addressed each

In December 2023, students from the course implemented 10solar generator systems in two communities on the Essequibo River.ColumbusA partnership between a local community garden and a College of Engineering lecturer began in2017, when their paths crossed at university programming around food security and urbanagriculture. The lecturer began volunteering at the garden, and soon proposed a partnership inwhich a service-learning class would carry out projects at the garden. The class has been heldonce annually since then, with students implementing a solar electric generator, an automatedfarming robotics system, a rainwater collection system, a hydroponics system, two three-bincomposting units, and high tunnel automation.
