Prepare Los Angeles for the 2028 Olympic Games?Curriculum. The three-week Program Curriculum started from macro-level down to micro-level, fromdrawing a big picture to gradually introduce various modern design tools. It started from a transportationsystem overview (day 1) to transportation planning (day 2), to transportation management (day 3), thento each transportation mode (day 4: water; day 5: air; day 6: railway). From day 7, we came back to focuson highway mode and then zoom in to each specific technical area: traffic safety (day 7), highwayconstruction and management (day 8, day 9), Building Information Modeling (BIM) (day 10). From Day 11to 14, we spent four days looking into the modern technologies offered by geospatial engineering

persistence [7, 8].Through the service projects, BOOST students gain practical exposure to engineering andexperience the engineering design process. Furthermore, they are rewarded by seeing the benefittheir work can bring to their community. Studies in non-STEM fields have shown that the focuson giving through service learning leads to academic success by addressing the sense ofaimlessness and student disengagement that negatively impacts their education [9-11].Ironically, until recently a vast majority of the service learning literature was in non-Engineeringfields, such as sociology. The literature shows some very impactful service learning programs inEngineering, such as Prof. William Oakes’ EPIC program at Purdue University, but which do

capstone courses in AerospaceEngineering and Mechanical Engineering (AE/ME), as instructed at Embry-Riddle AeronauticalUniversity, Prescott AZ (ERAU), are two-semester sequences consisting of a Preliminary Designcourse and a Detail Design course in either Aircraft, Spacecraft, Robotics, Propulsion Systems,or Energy Engineering design. Students who are enrolled in these capstone courses form largeteams (defined as more than 4 students per team) to create a design, usually in response to aRequest for Proposal or a Requirements document; these student teams then analyze,manufacture (or program), and test their design. At the end of each semester, each team, underthe direction of the design team lead (DTL), is required to give formal, public briefings

Transform the idea—course designTo transform the idea into teaching practice, a new course, Human Behavior & FireProtection, was designed and attempted in the fall semester of 2016, 2017 and 2018. Thiscourse is offered to undergraduate Engineering Technology students in the Fire Scienceprogram (B.S.) in College of Engineering. This course introduces various human behaviorsduring fire emergency with a focus on interactions among fire, building, and occupants.

In thispaper, we present the design, implementation, and outcomes of a senior project capstone coursewhere service learning content and K-12 outreach activities are incorporated. We collaboratedwith a community partner, Ganesha High School in Pomona city, to provide students withservice learning experiences. The first course project includes an outreach seminar to introducesolar energy to the high school students and an A-to-Z project to build a solar charging station.The second course project includes developing computer programs and teaching the high
