Finally, there is evidence to support thatcampus-related projects improve student outcomes by providing real-world experience [14],[15], [16], and can also provide a benefit to the university [17].In this work, we seek to understand the impacts of a campus-focused design project on students’1) sense of belonging in the field of MSE, 2) sense of

ownership among team members and the roles played by individuals shouldbe diverse and authentic.In the context of undergraduate engineering education, collaboration has been cited as asignificant predictor of students’ academic performance 7 . Practicing engineers report thatcollaboration is essential to solving real-world problems as knowledge is often distributed acrossmultiple individuals8 . However in contrast to this, conventional early undergraduate engineeringand engineering technology laboratory assignments are often written as ready-made, recipe-likeexperiments that allow for minimal collaboration in their implementation, usually between astudent and a single lab partner9, 10 and often only to build a circuit and record the pertinent

. The modern hacker community grew from the playful and clever,sometimes irreverent, pranksters of “the Old MIT” going back to the ’60s and ’70s. For theseyoung pioneers the information world was their playground, a place which was unnoticed bymost, feared by those who took note, and misunderstood by nearly all. In 1984, US Congresspassed the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act because a Mathew Broderick film scared them - WarGames [1] [2] [3] [4]. As industry and regulation began to encroach on their playground, thehacker community began to push back.Richard Stallman stated that, “A hacker is someone who enjoys playful cleverness, notnecessarily with computers.

Just as providing feedback would ideally be low cost, the same is true for receiving it – it should not take the recipient extra effort to access the feedback. Computerized ways should be used sparingly, especially with audiences that are not comfortable with computers or if the environment where the feedback is to be used does not readily provide access to computing equipment. In certain circumstances, even if automation were possible, using paper may still be more effective12.• Perceptible. People differ in the strength of their senses for perceiving the world.

Yet,there is a dearth of literature on the need for framing those problems through a culturallyresponsive lens. Furthermore, research on both CRP and the EDP suggest that teachers are themost integral factor to any instructional reform [21], [29], [24], [30]. Nevertheless, there remainsa gap

The core principle of human-centered design involves developinga first-hand understanding of the human needs and behaviors related to a system. Once adesigner understands the system, he or she follows by making decisions based oninspiration from the humans operating within the system. During an IDC, students: (a) usehuman-centered design methods and rapid prototyping tools to solve a real-worldproblem, (b) collaborate with various stakeholders and potential end users, and (c) pitch asolution to a client.
