being recognized and promoted, and various groups have published guidingprinciples [7-9]. Different fields use different terms; for example, community based participatoryresearch (CBPR) is common in public health [10-11] and participatory action research (PAR) iscommon in education [12]. However, complexity, confusion, and sometimes misuse amongterms are concerns. A few examples of definitions from the literature follow: CE: “the application of institutional resources to solve problems facing communities through collaboration with those communities… leverages the capacities of all the participants to improve community well-being” [13, p. 59]. In some cases, SL may not fit this definition of CE, such as when faculty and/or students hold

as “a co-design process between academics and practitioners, where research isintentionally applied to a development challenge, and embedded in the research project from thebeginning so that the result is a tested solution adapted for use as a product, practice, or policy.”While the concept has a longer history in the health sciences and in commercialization oftechnology, RT remains undertheorized and underapplied in engineering, especially inengineering for community development programs. In this paper, we will review the literature onRT to identify barriers and opportunities for the development and implementation of RT ingraduate engineering education, especially for those students interested in communitydevelopment.

Our workshop grew out of an existing research collaboration at Iowa State University entitledGame2Work aimed at using serious games and gamification to expand pathways to STEM academic majorsand careers. Game2Work brings together interdisciplinary researchers from across the institution to developgames, evaluate implementation strategies, and design novel applications for gamification. The middle school game jam grew out of a project developed by the first author, focused on civicengagement and game design. Game2Work researchers contacted ISU Extension and Outreach whoidentified a need for programming for middle school aged students that could address organizationalpriorities around STEM education and career pathways.

Furthermore,volunteering can help to foster feelings of trust, mutual respect, and understanding among peoplefrom different backgrounds, creating a more tolerant and cohesive community [3]. While thesense of belonging and community is critical to the engineering experience, self-efficacy andself-determination are also linked to community engagement activities.The practice of community engagement has been connected to significant improvements inminority college engineering students' self-efficacy
