Based on their learning preference questionnaires, students were placed in diverseteams of three to four with the intention of generating a sense of community and promotingcreative thinking. Each mini-project was comprised of both open-ended and well-defined non-trivial analytical questions that addressed contemporary energy-related challenges. Teams werealso expected to reflect on energy options for the future and interpret the United NationsSustainable Development Goals. To promote accountability and critical evaluation, teams peer-reviewed one another’s mini-projects. This study uses data from participant questionnaires (n = 77) to analyze the efficacy ofusing mini

Environmental and Water Resources Engineering StudentsAbstractUniversities serve as a hub for the advancement of water science and engineering knowledge andinnovations. Communities outside of academia hold equally valid expertise on water andenvironmental topics. However, there is a lack of avenues for knowledge exchange betweenacademia and non-academic communities including homeowners, industry professionals, policymakers, and K-12 students and teachers. Many universities and research centers attempt toenhance knowledge sharing by organizing broader impact outreach events such as lab tours,demonstrations, hands-on activities, and public presentations.

The overall goal of this NSF funded program is to increase access to high qualityuniversity engineering and computer science education for academically talented, low-incomestudents with demonstrated financial need. The program aims to address two significant barriersfaced by engineering and computer science students at the participating community colleges.One barrier is the highly impacted nature of the engineering and computer science programs atthe university, and the other is the university’s focus on admissions practices that cater to first-time-in-college (FTIC) students.

cohorts through a series ofproject-based learning (PBL) courses. Furthermore, this attempt is enhanced by the introductionof incentives that encourage student involvement in undergraduate research as well as on-campusengineering organizations. The specific focus of the mentorship is on student-studentrelationships in addition to the conventional faculty-student relationships. These relationshipsallow students to learn from each other since they are able to strongly relate to each other’sexperiences among their peer group. The mentoring model proposed in this paper formulates alearning community that allows the student to form a support group and a mechanism forpreventive intervention, as discussed in other studies on mentoring programs.

The Assessment Form provides students with an instructor’s “letter grade” andadditional notes of their progress on a weekly basis. The grade is evaluated based on a rubricfrom EPICS.During Phase 3, surveys were given to students with exposure to the SE program to evaluate theeffectiveness of the service-based learning. The surveys focused on student engagement with theengineering design process and the impact of service learning experiences on achievingengineering learning objectives. Overall, students showed increased confidence in the designprocess only after the first year in the program. For the engineering

Although the entire project was a learning process, the team’s understanding of community engaged work was significantly increased. The skill of working with stakeholders and applying knowledge to openended problems is invaluable for a student to learn during his or her college career.

Gamejams are particularly well suited to engage youth in conversations about complex themes and social problemsand they provide a space where emerging adults can explore and affirm their social and vocational identities[2]. As such, organizers need to be particularly thoughtful about how they incorporate issues ofrepresentation [1,4]. As part of our efforts to engage a wide cross-section of students, the event communications did notfocus on the actual products the youth would create but on providing youth with tools to create games-foregrounding agency and students’ control over the process.
