offeringseveral final observations about the opportunities and obstacles to successful Cohort Challenges,as well as our future plans to support others who want to design and deliver this mode ofgraduate education.I. Introduction The interest in “wicked problems” in science and engineering reflects a growingrecognition that the most pressing technological needs of the 21st century do not fall neatly intoany single discipline. Because they sit at the intersection of many competing disciplines andinterests, wicked problems defy easy definition or solution [1]. Rather, they demand challenge-centered research that requires the collaboration of the full range of traditional scientific fields,as well as an understanding that those challenges arise in

The SLDPC is offered as a non-credit course to the students outside of the core curriculum.MethodsIn each program, students were asked to reflect at the end of the semester which is also called asfinal reflection. We chose the final reflections from Spring 2020 semester to be investigated forthis study.Jacoby’s [16] general criteria for assessing service-learning reflection was used as the frameworkfor evaluating student reflections which Jacoby adapted from Bradley [17]. According toBradley, critical reflection can be characterized into three levels

historical unit cost as a professional standard. Dysert [5]describes this type of estimate as an analogous estimate; “an analogous estimate is typicallyprepared by selecting a completed project as a base case, and then adjusting the historical costsfor the technical, performance, complexity, physical, and other differences between the newproject and the base case.” When preparing this estimate, we generally end up with a singlepoint, which is usually the cost. The single point (cost) is evaluated by generating a cost per unit (normally area), where thetotal project costs is divided by the total gross area of the building. Such evaluation is made with-out reference to: (1) specific conditions about site condition, (2) site limitations for

The graduates must be proficient in the use of engineering and scientificequipment and tools, conducting experiments, collecting and analyzing data, and effectively presentingthe results1-7. The graduates must also be well-trained in theory, experimentation and testing.

prioritization was performed.The two main general observations drawn from the reflections were that (1) the level of theinvolvement of faculty advisors in various events is based on the readiness and engagement ofthe officers (faculty advisors often do not interfere with day-to-day operation of the section, butrather stay “on-call” for any issues that would require their interference), and (2) the nature ofthe institutions has minimal effect on the way the faculty advisors see their role in leading theSWE sections. Overall, the analysis of the reflections provided commonalities and indicated thatthe role of the faculty advisors does not change much from one institution to another one.

In 2022, the Congressional ResearchService reported 471 deployments since 1798 with 11 formal declarations of war [1]. These factsconfirm that 98% of U.S military engagements are for operations other than war. The 460 otherengagements involved engaging military partners and allies through military training,peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance, and disaster management or response. Theseexperiences give military engineers insight to the challenges that global communities face andthat are addressed through some type of construction project in a community. Some

educators.IntroductionSociety calls upon engineers to engage with wicked, ill-defined problems, such as those outlinedin the NAE Grand Challenges [1]. These problems are generally open, complex, dynamic, andnetworked [2]. Practicing professionally in this space requires design competencies, in additionto professional, foundational, and technical competencies [3,4], as addressing such problems is acentral purpose of design [5]. Reflecting this, ABET’s criteria for accrediting engineeringprograms includes both student outcomes in this space as well as the need for a “culminatingmajor engineering design experience” [6]. However, while much scholarship has been producedon the nature of design, there remains a relative scarcity when looking at understanding andimplementing

geometricdimensioning and tolerancing (GDT).Anecdotal findings suggest that students have difficulty contextualizing content regarding GDTwithin the environment of class. Most students enrolled in the course have limited, or no,exposure to manufacturing methods and tools at the time they take the course. There arecurrently no artifacts generated or manipulatives incorporated when teaching GDT at Penn StateBehrend. This is not unusual per se, as many other topics in the engineering graphics curriculumare predicated on visualization as a primary means of interpretation.Educational materials specifically designed for GDT study have been procured by faculty forcurriculum development, which includes content and manipulatives that illustrate concepts inGDT.

labeled as first-generation, low-income or underrepresented. In these programs, participants learn about differentaspects of STEM majors along with skills and knowledge required for applying to college.Because these programs are sponsored by external funding and networks, they can exposeparticipants to STEM opportunities and careers. Understanding participants’ attitudes towards,and understanding of, engineering and engineering careers can provide insights on how to gaugethe students’ and the community’s understanding of STEM. Thus, these programs have thepotential to broaden participation in STEM fields and increase the STEM workforce [1].It will be important, moving forward, to be able to identify the critical experiences of students inthese
