This involvement can lead tothe creation of solutions that better align with the community's unique needs and aspirations.Furthermore, infrastructure projects can have adverse environmental impacts, and marginalizedcommunities often bear the brunt of these effects. Understanding equitable resilience enablesmarginalized ethnic students to advocate for environmental justice and sustainable practices ininfrastructure development.Aligning with this research need, this study focuses on investigating the perceptions ofmarginalized architecture/engineering/construction (AEC) students about incorporating

Dr. Barbara Jacobydescribes service-learning as a method of “experiential education in which students engage inactivities that address human and community needs” in a fashion that encourages “studentlearning and development”1,2. In the university-level engineering programs in which it has beenincorporated, service-learning has been recognized as beneficial to engineering students’educational formation for its emphasis on “cooperative learning” and “communityengagement”3. Specifically, this method has been shown to be especially effective in teachingfirst-year engineering students the principles of engineering design.

This process allowed us to work toward: (1) providing a more generalizabledescription of our overall findings, (2) gaining a greater understanding of the underlying classroom and coursefactors and their impact on the development of domain-specific efficacy among minority students, and (3)developing a set of guidelines to effectively incorporate participatory design based on the situated learningframework.

). Interactions of graduate students with peers plays a large role in the establishment ofcommunities, and thus impact feelings of fit and a sense of belongingness. Lovitts (2001) notedthat a student’s “awareness of a lack of fit” in the graduate student culture “can start a studentdown the slippery slope of increasing alienation and isolation from the primary community, andultimately to breaking all bonds with the community” (p. 127). In fact, in her study, Lovitts(2001) noted two respondents left their program after just one academic year due to poor peerinteractions and fitting into the graduate student community.

The REUstudents stepped out of their comfort zones, organized projects, and met new people through theoutreach project; they were responsible for creating and completing their projects, which forcedthem to learn important educational research and project management skills. During the program,a few students shared knowledge that would be useful for other students. For example, onestudent was knowledgeable in creating online surveys, so the student wrote a tutorial for otherswho planned to administer surveys during their projects. Such activities indicate that studentlearning and engagement went beyond the required project.There was also a clear positive impact on the audiences
