During this time, we were able to see how students were impacted differently basedon each of the various active learning techniques we experimented with. This process ofcontinuous development has led us to the course model for introductory programming which waslater expanded to undergraduate software engineering courses [12, 31].Sustained student engagement was one major challenge in the active learning course design.

impact of interpersonal interactions on studentengagement, we would like to explain how students defined engagement in the first place.Engagement is letting students have course experiences that help them learn the course contentwithout difficulty, having peers to share knowledge and learn from by communicating with eachother, and having instructors reachable to get their questions answered.Firstly, student-to-content interactions and engagement showed varying results from participantinterviews. Three students mentioned that the course content positively affected their engagementin the online course. On the other hand, one student believed the course content did not affect theirengagement, but it was a crucial part of the course. These results

www.slayte.com Engagement in Practice: The University of Maryland’s Get Out and Learn (GOAL) Engineering Kit InitiativeUndergraduate engineering education often reinforces an arbitrary sociotechnical divide thatattempts to isolate technical skills from their embedded social environments (Cech & Sherick,2015). Engineering curriculum focuses primarily on developing technical skills, often withoutconsideration of the social (e.g., cultural, political, economic) contexts within these technologies,skills, or training are situated. Service-learning opportunities for engineering students and facultyrepresent one opportunity set for bridging social and technical knowledge and skills. Furthermore,service-learning courses can
