Reynolds, Nora Pillard; MacCarty, Nordica A.; Sharp, Kendra V.; Hartman, Eric – Advances in Engineering Education, 2022
As global engineering education projects and programs are initiated, too often social outcomes and long-term impacts are assumed to be positive. This is particularly true for sustainable development projects, which often have an inherent assumption of positive transformation through engineering solutions. We argue that a focus on technical…

DeBoer, Jennifer; Radhakrishnan, Dhinesh; Freitas, Claudio – Advances in Engineering Education, 2022
Displaced learners, uprooted because of conflict, poverty, or other major traumas, are often shut out of opportunities to learn engineering. At the same time, fragile contexts demand engineers' expertise, but experts and their engineered solutions are often called in from outside the community. In this article, we examine engineering learning as a…

Brubaker, Eric Reynolds; Trego, Marsie; Cohen, Shoshanah; Taha, Kofi – Advances in Engineering Education, 2022
Campus-community partnerships are integral to community-engaged learning, service-learning and similar pedagogies that extend project-based learning beyond the classroom into "real world" communities. Community-engaged courses have increased in prevalence in engineering education. Evidence suggests that they are effective at connecting…

Mehta, Khanjan; Zappe, Sarah; Brannon, Mary Lynn; Zhao, Yu – Advances in Engineering Education, 2016
The Humanitarian Engineering and Social Entrepreneurship (HESE) Program engages students and faculty across Penn State in the rigorous research, design, field-testing, and launch of technology-based social enterprises that address global development challenges. HESE ventures are embedded in a series of five courses that integrate learning,…

Dinehart, David W.; Gross, Shawn P. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2010
The primary role of a civil engineer is to serve the community; thus, it is essential that students understand the impact of engineering projects on, and the context of engineering projects within, society. One goal of an engineering capstone design course should be to mesh the technical knowledge of the discipline with an encompassing engineering…
