Further, this course provides a unique opportunity to teach students thebroad impacts of their engineering education in the lives of the people in the community. Lastly,since the client and user are new every year, the instructor is on the journey through the projectjust as much as the students which builds an extremely strong relationship between instructor andstudent.

In the in the 2014ASEE report [38]. deans noted that that service-learning was not widely implemented nor was itconsidered important to their colleges. Nearly two thirds of the administrators believed it wasnot practiced at their own institution and did not deem it important enough to change.To impact the broader engineering education community, diverse service-learning models mustbe implemented, assessed and disseminated. Individual or small groups of faculty conduct mostof the active models with relatively small numbers of students.

Further, Boswell’s accountsuggests the value of thinking critically about student engagements with, and possibly resistanceto reflection. We extend this work by offering additional stories of engagements.Student resistance, as a form of student reaction, and educator response is a subject of interest inengineering education scholarship.

These outcomes are verydesirable, but sustaining student motivation and engagement in order to bring them about is byno means simple [8] [9]. Working with community collaborators can help students develop newkinds of insights into engineering and new skills [10] [11] [12] [13], although critics caution thatsome ways of doing so are more thoughtful and productive than others [14] [15] [16].Here we offer a preliminary report on our efforts.

During the summer,students watched videos that provided a brief instruction on how to find a project for the course.Over the next two years, faculty determined that these student-identified projects were frequentlynot good matches for the course. To remedy this, faculty decided to set aside the first severalweeks of the semester to walk students through a process to identify meaningful projects. Thisprocess was derived from the Human-Centered Design course developed by IDEO. During thesummer, students identified areas of societal interest and were

Researchers observed students throughoutCodeIT Day and the day ended with a focus group with students who decided to participate. Thisdata helped to inform the team on engagement levels the students had and how to improve thestructure of the overall program.The survey results suggest that participants attitudes toward STEM did not change much at all;however, most students already started with a positive attitude towards STEM.

Review of Living Learning Communities and their impact on first year engineering college studentsAbstractTraditionally, first-year college students do not have a community of like-minded peers withwhom they are able to learn. Adding to first-year engineering college students’ (FYECS)struggles is the fact that many students do not have a mentor in their related field and are unableto start building their professional repertoire, network, and/or practical skills. Living LearningCommunities (LLC) can offer a platform for postsecondary institutions to increase recruitment,engagement, and sense of belonging for students who live in an LLC.
