. Student InvolvementAs previously mentioned, community engagement in engineering education is key because itbridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications. Student involvementis a key focus of our neighborhood revitalization initiative, and it offers a multitude of benefits toour students [5], including: • Preparing students for professional practice by engaging them in some of the nation’s most difficult and enduring challenges. • Exposing students to interdisciplinary work fostering innovation and collaboration and encouraging students to think critically, creatively, and holistically. • Developing students’ research capacities and skills. • Reinforcing students’ team work skills and expose

More recent studies evaluating engineering education research and current engineeringcurriculum note that engineering faculty largely maintain that studying the humanities isirrelevant to engineering education and pose engineering problems devoid of any social context[9-14]. However, engineering students matriculate into their programs with aspirations ofaddressing global challenges using technical innovations, even if that is not how the material isframed in the classroom [6].Researchers in engineering education affirm that the skills required to integrate technicalknowhow from a global context, are not
