Society of Professional Engineers. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Engagement in Practice: Project-Based Community Engagement Model Preliminary Case StudiesAbstractEngineering engagement is typically project-based, which introduces elements andconsiderations not explicitly covered by models commonly used in service-learning andcommunity-engaged learning. A model specifically for project-based community engagementwas recently developed to facilitate reflection on program design, development, and analysis.Two cases are examined using this model as test examples of how it can be operationalizedacross diverse programs. The application

This project provided an academic enrichmentand curriculum engagement for students to apply their knowledge to benefit the community. Thispaper discusses capstone design project objectives, student learning activities, educationaloutcome assessment mapping, faculty reflections and lessons learned.IntroductionIn professional practice, engineers build successful careers out of solving open-ended problems[1]. However, the well-structured and constrained problems that engineering students tend tosolve at the early level coursework, do little to prepare them for the complexity of ambiguousand unstructured real-world problems [1

inequities they sought to address.Freire characterized this as “false generosity”—as charity offered that does not empower, butinstead fosters dependency. While such aid may help individuals, it also sustains inequities [10].Addressing inequality in engineering education means interrogating the origins of inequalities.Efforts to unravel those systems requires the knowledge of decolonization and engaging indecolonizing methodologies [11]. This is important to reflect on because when organizationsenter a community, they often act in colonizing ways and extend oppressive systemsmasquerading as aid. Decolonizing methodologies center community knowledge and needs andforeground the community’s own purposes.Such work is effortful and time consuming, but

Due to the increased number ofconfirmed cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Michigan, large gatherings are restricted andparticipants (students, staff, and volunteers) from different schools are unable to meet at a singlelocation. Hence, the afterschool enrichment program includes two schools, who will be virtuallyattending the sessions via zoom. The teacher from each school will facilitate interactions duringthe online sessions conducted by the program director from the university. All Institutional ReviewBoard (IRB) approved paperwork is shared with the schools, and the consenting students willcomplete an online pre-intervention, post-intervention survey and submit a 500-words self-reflection essay about their camp

It reflects a year-long conversation between the six co-authors. Panel attendeeswill be invited to join and expand upon that conversation. Further analyses and integration areplanned after the conference when we will have the benefit of other panel attendees’ commentsand their own narratives.Under ideal circumstances, engineering cultures in academia and industry bring out the best

Core Curriculum cultivates social justice, civic life, perspective, andcivic engagement. It involves community-based learning with a social justice emphasis. Studentsare required to (i) engage in 16 hours of community-based learning experiences and (ii) performcritical reflection and evaluation of their experiences. A primary goal of the ELSJ requirement is“to foster a disciplined sensibility toward power and privilege, an understanding of the causes ofhuman suffering, and a sense of personal and civic responsibility for cultural change.”The specific learning objectives of an ELSJ class are as follows:• Recognize the benefits of life-long responsible citizenship and civic engagement in personal and professional activities (Civic Life

Capstone course sequence was created to meet the increasing student demand for projectswith a humanitarian engineering context and to develop the global competencies required for studentsto successfully complete these projects. The demand was created due to the number of OSU studentspursing a Humanitarian Engineering Minor and/or the Global Option distinction. Students in theseprograms are required to participate in a capstone design experience that involves a global orhumanitarian focus.This paper will: 1. outline the Global Capstone course sequence development process, 2. describe the structure and learning outcomes of the Global Capstone course, 3. reflect on the challenges associated with managing a program focused on complex real

NGOs decision-makingwith respect to the communities they serve. So it is ultimately their commitment andaccountability to their values (see 4.1.1.1 above) and accountability practices that determinetheir downward accountability with communities.Three key variables determine how NGO accountability to communities is reflected inpractice: depth, openness and frequency. Depth is related to communities' access to NGOmanagement, what knowledge communities have of NGOs, how relevant topics discussed atmeetings are to communities, who gets to speak at these meetings, and how controversialissues are handled at these meetings. Openness is reflected on meeting’s agenda, format andconduct. Can community concerns be formally aired during meetings with them

Since outputsare not usually viable [14] and prototypes are not polished, tangible outcomes have becomesecondary [4] to building engagement and awareness around the issue [15]. Additionally, it is aunique opportunity to “practice agility, iteration and scoping” [4] in an experiential learningenvironment that educators often fail to provide, especially in non-technical fields [16].Individual motivations are professional and personal
