Session Description

"Community engagement" is an umbrella term for service learning in engineering, humanitarian engineering, learning through service, community-based research, civically-engaged learners, technology-based social entrepreneurship, and more. Community organizations (either local or from abroad) partner with institutions of engineering education for the mutual benefit of communities and engineering students. Ideally, student teams and citizens work together via reciprocal partnerships for the shared purpose of completing community-identified projects aimed at increasing community assets.
