AB  - The opportunity to design new products, processes, systems and services arises with development in technology and customer need. In today’s world, designers need to consider how products will be made and used in addition to how they will work. We must provide opportunities for our students to learn to design solutions to complex problems that are easily adaptable and incorporate awareness of the social context in which they will be used. Solutions should consider socio-technical systems in an attempt to generate more equitable outcomes, because these solutions are more likely to be used if they incorporate a degree of social awareness on top of technologically adaptable tools. 
Faculty in Engineering, Sociology, and Computer Technology have come together to develop a multidisciplinary service-learning class for this purpose. With this focus, students in distribution logistics, sociology, and technology management classes will be organized into a learning community to work on a semester-long project with community agencies. The project will require students to collect data on agencies’ current processes and challenges and develop operational capabilities for the future. The class will be designed by several experts, curriculum consultants, and campus leaders and will be offered for the first time in Spring 2017. 
This paper will discuss the structure, expectations, and anticipated results of the course. Learning objectives, topics that overlap the disciplines, and methods used to expose students to these topics and objectives will also be provided. The effectiveness of this class will be based on assessments through semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and surveys of student engagement within the learning community, multidisciplinary learning, and the adaptability of solutions designed by students and provided to community agencies.
