Educational EcosystemModel (C-EEEM) was distilled (Wood et al., 2020). The C-EEEM program has three coreelements which are multi-scale collaborative infrastructure, student learning for STEM andsocial responsibility, and neighborhood asset-based community development. The long-termrelationship development with community partners, which forms the collaborative infrastructure,enables the real-world application of learning by students to co-create projects addressingcommunity challenges. These elements distinguish C-EEEM from many other STEM project-based learning models.In the first phase of the framework, the project team consisting of students and communitypartners is identified.

Women tend to show a greater interest insolving societal issues [24], and real-world design problems may help draw women to participate[7]. It is also worth nothing that we recruited a high number of trainees with a disability, who arealso considered an underrepresented group in higher education [25]. This is aligned with a recentstudy finding that student researchers with a disability are drawn to the intersection of academiaand community

Scholarship (CES) or Community Engaged Research (CER). Ultimately, high qualityCE can span all of the traditional faculty activities of teaching, research, and service. While thisis a win-win in terms of beneficial impacts, it can also pose challenges in the faculty promotionand tenure process where academia traditionally compartmentalizes these activities and research-intensive institutions place outsized weight on the importance of research. In STEM fields,fundamental research (including laboratory experiments and numerical modeling) is oftenviewed as more scholarly than applied research. CES/CER is at risk of being devalued undertraditional academic standards [5-6] given its dual purpose of real-world benefits forcommunities.CES is increasingly
