-oriented learning” (p. 111). This transitional period inbrain development, and ability to process and connect information, provides a beneficialplatform for exploring the STEM disciplines through hands-on, experiential activities.Intended learner outcomes evolved based on the literature reviews, input from education experts,and several iterations of the informal educational camps. The revised learner outcomes measurethe extent to which students: a) Increase cognizance and attitudes towards a global perspective of the environment and sustainability; b) Could identify personal behavior changes to live more sustainably; and, c) Could identify how society could change present behaviors to help maintain the planet’s limited
introduction, students reading of the scenario, student discussion, postdiscussion analysis and finalizing assessments.Two data collection sessions were conducted for each class, allowing every student to participateas both a discussant and an observer. Each observer was assigned primary responsibility for onlya single dimension of the EPSA Rubric.Based upon student comments compared to previous year’s course evaluations, the instructorshave found that the interdisciplinary EPSA scenarios generated more enthusiastic and higherlevel discussion than case studies that focused solely on ethics. An example of theinterdisciplinary nature of the EPSA scenarios is demonstrated in the EPSA “Clean Energy”scenario, shown in Appendix B, which was selected because

toconstruct electrical circuits using a 2D breadboard simulation, a 3D breadboard, and a physicalbreadboard (figure 1). The participants included 48 undergraduate and graduate students from alarge public university in the southeastern US. These participants were randomly assigned to oneof three levels of fidelity where they learned to construct a circuit on a breadboard. Statisticalanalysis of participants’ pre-test scores found that participants in each condition werecomparable in terms of prior circuit knowledge. Figure 1.

Approximately 30 minutes was allocated tothis review of the case studies in small groups, with a final 10-minute large group discussion onthe case study scenarios.

analyzed. The most significant influence of the BMEC curriculum was its informativenature. Students overwhelmingly reported increased awareness of biomedicalengineering. We also saw a significant increase in the number of students that wantedto pursue careers in biomedical engineering. These findings demonstrate that informingstudents about engineering fields is an important first step in increasing the number ofstudents that pursue these fields.

moreconfidence and motivation as a minority in engineering. When asked to consider how theirpersonal identities intersect with engineering, five out of the seven female students in the classexpressed feelings of being excluded from engineering because of their gender. In the Week 4reflections, these five female students used words such as “self conscious,” “disadvantage,” and“insecure” when reflecting on being a woman in engineering. One student wrote that “manypeople don’t take me seriously when I tell them I am an engineering major [b]ecause they think Ilook more like a liberal arts student.” Another student wrote that her identity as a Hispanic, low-income, and female caused “conflict in my personal life because close family and family friendsdon’t
good project, this is a cool idea and we want to build it- no matter what others mayhave done in this area. Some of these are challenges even for upper division who may have aneasier time dealing with them. In addition, as an open-ended project Project II was by naturemuch more challenging to students and required significant guidance by faculty and graduatestudent mentors.Out of the 66 students co-enrolled in the service-learning course and pre-calculus, nine havechanged to non-engineering majors, four female and five male students. Investigation of howthese students performed in the service-learning course indicates that eight of the nine studentshad a final grade of B in the course and one had C.
