Being a combination of the CIEG 301 Structural Analysis andCIEG 302 Structural Design, that were already taught in the Civil Engineering (CE)undergraduate degree program within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering,the main objective of the course was to teach students the basic tools they need to analyze anddesign structural members. The following year (Fall 2020), seeing the success of this course andin an effort to integrate the CE with the CEM program in the overlapping topics, it was decidedto expand this approach to CE undergraduate program; transforming CIEG 301 from

Wiki is a website that allows the easy creation and editing ofweb pages via a web-based editor. A good example is wikipedia.com. A group of registeredusers can freely contribute to the contents of wikipedia.com that is open to the public. Wikis areoften used to create collaborative websites, to organize research community websites, and todevelop educational web sites as a KMS.

Assessing Grassroots Engineering Applications in BrazilIn Brazil, service learning or community service is an integral part of every university’sfundamental duties, along with teaching and researching. The type of learning or service to beprovided, however, depends on the hermeneutics applied, which can either lead to groupempowerment and socio-technical change or to mere paternalism.In the early 2000s, during the two terms of Lula as president of Brazil, many community service/service-learning teams were established and institutionalized, linked to engineering courses andfaculty members. From the conjugation of social technology and solidarity economy movements,some of these teams developed a form of engineering practice that is now called
