At its core, this involvesreflection on how the experience might improve critical thinking skills, increase student civicengagement, help to achieve learning objectives, impact the community or community partner,and/or provide for reciprocity between student and the community [2,3]. The course waschanged to teach all of its course objectives as part of the semester long service-learning project.Students opted into their project of choice from five options, spending half of their semesterdesigning and the other half fabricating deliverables.

educational environments (e.g., [1], [2]). One of the student outcomes in the ABET criteriaincludes “an ability to function effectively on a team” and to “create a collaborative andinclusive environment” [3, p. 6]. Creating classroom cultures where students feel included andsupported is crucial for students’ sense of belonging, identities as scientists and engineers,learning, and persistence in STEM [4]–[9]. Through creating inclusive environments in ourclasses, we can help our students learn to engage in effective, respectful, and equitablecollaboration. Even further, we can empower students to examine who has access to, and isincluded in, the scientific community. To that end, we consider investigations of who doesphysics to be a part of physics

This challengeneeds to be addressed at all levels of K-12 education.

, and we consider how many of the nation’s colleges and universities are caught in the crossfire of these competing goals. In the current climate, students all too often are the losers. Today, undergraduates are aggressively recruited. In glossy brochures, they’re assured that teaching is important, that a spirit of community pervades the campus, and that general education is the core of the undergraduate experience. But the reality is that, on far too many campuses, teaching is not well rewarded, and faculty who spend too much time counseling and advising students may diminish their prospects for tenure and promotion. Faculty are losing out, too. Research and publication have become the primary means by which most professors

The assignments did not have students create data visualizations, an important element of communicating about data. 2.
