Scholarship (CES) or Community Engaged Research (CER). Ultimately, high qualityCE can span all of the traditional faculty activities of teaching, research, and service. While thisis a win-win in terms of beneficial impacts, it can also pose challenges in the faculty promotionand tenure process where academia traditionally compartmentalizes these activities and research-intensive institutions place outsized weight on the importance of research. In STEM fields,fundamental research (including laboratory experiments and numerical modeling) is oftenviewed as more scholarly than applied research. CES/CER is at risk of being devalued undertraditional academic standards [5-6] given its dual purpose of real-world benefits forcommunities.CES is increasingly

The index value can be used in design or in work practice toestablish safe limits. Much research has gone into determining the definitive heat stress index, and there isdiscussion about which is best. For example, Goldman (1988) presents 32 heat stress indices, and thereare probably at least double that number used throughout the world. Many indices do not consider all sixbasic parameters, although all have to take them into conside ration in application. The use of indices

The goal of EYE is to engage area youth in grades4-9 in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) academics and careers byproviding students with a coordinated continuum of curricular and extra-curricular experiencesthat use real life engineering design challenges as a “hook.” Once “hooked,” and with carefulguidance and support of “adult influencers” (teachers, counselors, parents, and businessvolunteers), the theory of action is that youth will become motivated to choose to take the highschool mathematics and science coursework that are needed in preparation for

Leydens and Lucena acknowledge that some of their engineering for social justice (E4SJ)criteria are easier to implement in design than ES courses, but they also write, “Whereaslistening contextually is greatly facilitated by design projects that feature a client…, suchlistening is more abstract in the absence of clients… However, students can identify the kind oflistening they would do with hypothetical clients” [13]. This quote suggests both that it isdifficult to integrate an equity focus into science courses, but also that similar approaches can beused in ES and design courses, though the connections to real-world impacts might be moreabstract or hypothetical in the
