Summer Internship Experience After being introduced to DCOF operations through their ENGR 115 projects, studentsinterested in furthering their experience with community engagement projects were offered thechance to work in teams as paid interns on other projects over the summer of 2023. In total, sixstudents participated in the summer internship, five of whom were pre-majors. Figure 2 showsstudents during visits to DCOF along with the inside of a hen house where the projects werelocated. Figure 2.

I will use this information to minimize the negative impact my projects have on the public. My goal is to finish every project leaving a positive impact on the community effected rather than a negative one as seen with the Highway 75 project.While not all the student comments were as developed as the ones above, overall, the project seemed tobe well received by the students with no negative comments.

It discusses how participants were encouraged to explore their identity formationand its impact on STEM career development while fostering a sense of belonging and self-efficacy in their fields. Using a mixed methods evaluation and assessment approach, findingssuggest several implications: (a) an increase in participants' awareness and skills within STEMfields, potentially enhancing interest in these areas; (b) a greater understanding of social changepartnerships and their integration into higher education research; and (c) transformed practicesthat could prepare more students for STEM careers.

article by Alkhouri includes a few inthis space including “YOU at College”, “B Well UAB”, and “Unmasked” [4]. Apps like “YOUat College” and “B Well UAB” can be beneficial as they include ways of self-assessing and alsoinformation on resources available on campus [5] [6], but require an internet connection on theuser’s device in order to work / provide information. This was seen as a hinderance since aninternet connection may not always be available during a mental health crisis. The informationshould be available with no reliance on connectivity whatsoever. Unmasked is another app in this space, but serves more as a way for students to give oneanother advice anonymously with some oversight from admins to ensure nothing serious

Theauthors came together and reflected on these changes that they needed to make to the originalapproach and the lessons they learned along the way. These lessons learned were grouped into totwo categories for international collaborations, role of the class and the role of the community,which are outlined and further elaborated below. The unique lessons learned from localcollaborations follows the international collaborations section. 1. Role of the class a. Interviewing community members b. Unguided student interactions c.
