students’ abilities in some basic engineering skills, e.g. computing. An underlyingphilosophy of ENGR 101 is that engineers need to be as actively engaged in problem definition as theyare in problem solving. Most of engineering curricula focuses on problem solving so this course isdesigned to try to get students thinking about problem definition at this early stage of their academiccareers. In the fall semesters of 2014 and 2015 the decision was made to try engaging the students in a newexperience: the Engineers Without Borders Challenge (EWB Challenge). There were several reasons forchoosing this project approach for ENGR 101. First, this project provides opportunities for students tosee how a problem is defined. The challenge is poorly

Theyfound that the student-centered approach appeared to impact behaviors; participants valued thein-class, collaborative problem-solving activities. However, due to data limitations, they were notable to determine how the collaborative learning environment led to improved student learning. Thatis, although students discussed problems, asked questions of each other, and received help fromteaching assistants and instructor, the students’ roles (i.e., questioner and responder), the questions’nature, and the discourse that led to positive learning outcomes remained unclear.

The average per-capita income of the tri-countyarea is over 36% below the state average. Only 16% of residents (28% of whom areHispanic/Latino) have bachelor’s degrees or higher [1]. The region ranks as one of the higheststatewide for incidence of teenage pregnancy. These and other social factors combine to producea substantial percentage of non-traditional students seeking higher education, the impact ofwhich is seen disproportionately in the tri-county region’s Hispanic families, who along withlow-income students are experiencing significantly lower educational

Since learning occurs as students progressively participate in the community, instructional activities should reflect the real world problems. In this way, learning occurs when students “interact with the tools, people, and physical world” to better understand the impact (pros and cons) and culture considerations of tools around them. 2. Students are encouraged to try on the identity of the community members. 3. Students should have the ability to create their own learning path. Projects and problems should be designed to

Moreover, class meeting periods are an hour or lessand that may be insufficient for these groups to engage in deep discussions.Third, faculty, even those who buy in, at some level, to the value of cooperative learning1 , tend tobe concerned about devoting class time to such activities since they are concerned about possibleserious negative impact on topic coverage.
