The places they will go: What happens when engineering students critically reflectAbstractOver the last 30 years, “engineering for development” initiatives have proliferated across theWestern world and have become woven into the fabric of many higher education programs.Despite their good intentions, these programs have been critiqued due to lack of appropriateengagement with communities in co-creating solutions, failing to recognize the limitations oftechnology in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs), as well as failing to interrogatestructures and relations of power that impact on development interventions. In some cases, theseefforts have reinforced social injustices.There have been numerous efforts to

Lessons Learned in K-12 Engineering Outreach and Their Impact on Program PlanningIntroduction The United States relies on a well-prepared workforce to remain competitive in scienceand engineering. However, the number of engineering graduates is insufficient to cover thegrowing demand. As a result, an abundance of outreach programs exist throughout the countrywith a specific goal to increase the interest in engineering and the number of students pursuingengineering degrees. Unfortunately, the ideal format for effective outreach programs does notyet exist and needs formal evaluation. This paper highlights two formal engineering outreachprograms that were part of two Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for
