. To teach students aboutprogramming we used the Scratch Programming System and additional software developed by India’sCamp 12 STEM education project [1]. Scratch provides a programming environment to write simpleprograms by visually combining blocks on the display with one another. Scratch has block for loops, ifstatements, assignment statements and so on, to write programs [2]. The Camp 12 software providedthe custom blocks for Scratch Parrot Quad-Copter Drone control.The Scratch System with Camp 12 software ran on a Windows 10 system. The software they needed tomodify runs under the Robotic Operating System (ROS) and Linux Operating System. So the next stepfor the students was to learn some important Information Technology (IT) concepts

universities are adapting to technological advancesand society needs by introducing new courses, new programs and concurrently implementinginnovative methods to complement the class room teaching. Fundamental engineering theoryconcepts are still the core material in introductory courses, however, implementation andapplications of this theory is becoming more and more specialized. Specialized fields inengineering disciplines continue to grow in order to meet this demand. As a result engineeringcurricula must provide relevant examples for students, be based on the needs of society, anddevelop methods used by real world engineers1.One such specialized field is the current demand for engineers with fundamental understandingof building system design.

The course had twotracks: (1) interpreting engineering drawings (IED) which is traditional drafting, and (2) CADtraining (AutoCAD, release 12). Textbooks for the course were Interpreting EngineeringDrawings by Jenson and Hines for the IED track and Using AutoCAD Release 12 by J. E. Fullerfor the CAD track1,2. Students were also required to complete a computer-aided-drafting project(such as the “trolley” assembly from the IED book). Currently, the course retains the same basic format, although as technology has advanced, theCAD software has necessarily changed over the years from what was largely computerizeddrafting using AutoCAD, release 12

Terry Reynolds provides acomprehensive view of the American engineer throughout history in his book, “The Engineer inAmerica: A Historical Anthology from Technology and Culture.” [1] The appearance of engineering in America is associated with the emergence of themilitary during the American Revolution. The large-scale projects necessary during this timesuch as conducting sieges, constructing fortifications, and building bridges, required theknowledge of technical military engineers. Prior to the Revolution, the level of capitalinvestment and risk in American society was never high enough to justify the expense of full-time

This “doublejeopardy” characterization of gender and other forms of discrimination allows for anintersectional examination of the experiences of marginalized women. For example, thediscriminative experiences of queer women have the potential to be additive—based on bothgender and sexual orientation—or interactive—a unique experience specific to women who arequeer. However, this intersection of identities has not been studied in STEM fields despite thedocumentation of both gender and sexual orientation-based discrimination.Women and queer—or lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBTQ)—people areunderrepresented and face persistent biases in the physical sciences, technology

In light of this void, the purpose of this paper is to synthesize the service-learningliterature and precollege engineering education research to develop a working framework for theintegration of the service-learning pedagogy into precollege engineering education. To this aim,the ensuing pages will briefly examine the various spectra of considerations emergent in theliterature that should inform curriculum development efforts in precollege service-learningengineering education.Defining Service- Learning: What is it?
