Session Description:
Coordinated by the ASEE Community Engagement Division and the Bennion Center at the University of Utah, this project will give ASEE participants the opportunity to develop a community garden with a nearby refugee community.
While many refugees have become integral members of the Salt Lake City community, they miss their foods from home. Gardens provide not only a source of pride for the community but also food that is not locally available.
The project would consist of four hours of work clearing land, building garden boxes, installing drip lines, and planting seeds. Through this event, we hope to provide an educational experience related to community engagement in addition to providing some service to our host city.
Additionally, participants can learn from the Bennion Center and their successful projects.

American Indians and Science and Engineering Society 2017 Energy Challenge
Student: Jake Uyechi, Kamehameha High School, Honolulu, HI
My name is Jake Uyechi, a Native Hawaiian student from Kamehameha Schools hoping to major in chemical or electrical engineering. I am currently investigating the lo‘i kalo (taro patch) and the use of the mud in a sediment-based microbial fuel cell (MFC). The kalo (taro crop) is the root of Hawaiian culture - it was a widely cultivated and prized staple food in ancient Hawaii. However, many of these taro patches are historical or cultural sites, and taro farmers do not have access to the power grid. My project focused on generating sustainable off-grid electricity for Hawaiian taro farmers. To do this, I created different designs of microbial fuel cells, electrochemical devices that convert chemical energy stored in organic matter to electrical energy. In an MFC, bacteria oxidize organic compounds to produce electrons and protons. Protons travel through a semi-permeable membrane from the anode chamber to the cathode chamber, driving electrons across a wire, generating electricity. By engineering iterations of the MFC, I found that a larger surface area of the carbon electrode generated more electricity because larger biofilms could grow and produce more electrons. By using a thin, semi-permeable membrane, protons could travel from the anode to the cathode more efficiently, increasing the flow of electricity in the MFC. In addition to the engineering of the MFCs, I identified the communities of bacteria in the fuel cell to see how they changed. Over time, the bacteria became more anaerobic, correlating to increases in power output.
Old Guard Oral Presentation Competition at IMECE
Student: Kyle Hunter, University of Southern Florida, Tampa, FL
I am a Mechanical engineer from Tampa, Florida. I graduated from The University of South Florida in the Spring of 2017. I currently run an engineering design and prototyping company and am also the head of technology for a startup biotech company.
I competed in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME) Old Guard Oral Presentation competition. I won both the National EFest competition located at Tennessee Tech and the International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE) at the Tampa Convention Center. At IMECE, I also won an additional award for "best innovation."
My project was based on research I did while I was an undergraduate at USF. I created a system that allows the creation of mechanically changing polymer gradients. This allows a single continuous polymer material to have multiple mechanical properties throughout. Having this ability allows biomedical labs to test various cell properties along the entire length of a material without having to make separate samples. It also allows the creation of unique structures that would normally require multiple materials.
BEST Robotics
Team: Cornerstone Christian Preparatory Academy, West Mifflin, PA
In 2010, Cornerstone Prep started participating in the BEST Robotics competition; a program that is designed to introduce students to authentic and engaging experiences in engineering related careers. Since then, the team has won first place at our local Grove City Competition 8 times. The team has won first place at the regional competition at Auburn, Alabama once and at Fargo, North Dakota, twice. Currently, our high school has 89 students, of which 34 are on the robotics team; but our team is not only high school. We take pride in the fact that we have middle school students on our team; we actively mentor the next generation of engineers. 65% of our high school graduates go on to pursue engineering careers, showing just how integral BEST Robotics has been to exposing students to life-long career choices. BEST Robotics has many different ways for students to display and practice their talents: designing the marketing booth, informal and formal marketing presentations, writing an engineering notebook, designing and building the robot, programming the robot, and making video games.

Dr. Feisel is a Fellow of ASEE and NSPE and a Life Fellow of the IEEE. He is an active volunteer in ASEE, IEEE and his community on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
Dr. Feisel is the author of Lyle’s Laws, for ten years a regular column in The Bent of Tau Beta Pi and now collected as Lyle’s Laws published by Brooklyn River Press.
Stephanie Adams, Dean of Engineering, Old Dominion University, will discuss the impact of ASEE on the direction of the engineering curriculum, particularly through the various reports that have been developed by the Society. Her presentation will include an outline of the history of those reports and the effect they have had on what is taught in an engineering program. ASEE’s participation in the activities of ABET will also be discussed, along with some prediction of any changes in the future?
Donna Riley, Head, School of Engineering Education, Purdue University, will consider the history of diversity in engineering education recalling a time when women and minorities were a rarity in engineering or on the faculties of engineering schools. Her presentation will trace ASEE’s efforts to alleviate some of this disparity and present some information on how the makeup of the engineering workforce has changed over the years. She will also offer her thoughts and insight on what ASEE and the profession can do in this area in the future.
Karl Smith, Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota, will note that engineering faculty have not always been interested in the theory of teaching and learning (indeed, many are still not) but that the situation has changed somewhat over the years. His presentation will revisit the days when ERM was only beginning to have an impact and map the progress of the art and science of teaching in engineering and the contributions made to that progress by ASEE. He will also look into the future with suggestions of what we might expect in the years ahead.

The idea that engineering makes a positive contribution to human wellbeing is a central aspect of engineering identity and a particularly important motivation to current undergraduate engineering students. The Grand Challenges put forward by the National Academy of Engineering, for example, take as their foundation the belief that the 20th century was a time in which “engineering revolutionized and improved virtually every aspect of human life.” From a historical perspective, however, the relationship between engineering and social justice is complicated, particularly to the extent that engineers work for employers and their clients under the demands of business environments.
Deborah G. Johnson, one of the leading experts in engineering ethics, has recently suggested that the social responsibility of engineers should be understood not as the product of a social contract between the profession and society, but rather as a form of accountability in which engineers and the organizations of which they are a part assume obligations to explain and justify behavior and share norms regarding what needs to be explained, what counts as an adequate explanation, and what consequences might follow. As Johnson aptly points out, “Engineers are not required to explain or justify their behavior to publics until something goes wrong or until engineers—in the act of whistleblowing—bring something to the attention of a public.” Johnson urges us to pay attention to the ways in which the “social responsibilities of engineers are constructed and manifested through concrete practice in which norms and expectations are manifested and enforced.” The integration of engineering ethics with the perspectives of Science, Technology, and Society (STS) provides a framework for understanding the interaction between norms, expectations, and practices. In this lecture, Johnson will provide a roadmap for such integration.
Since the Year of Action on Diversity, the social and political landscape of the US has changed significantly. Finding ways to bridge divides is more important now than ever. In 2015, the very conservative Salt Lake City elected its second female, and first openly gay, mayor. Mayor Biskupski brought a vision for the future that built on the best of the city's culture as a community that values the environment, mutual support, and high quality of life. She also brought her understanding of how important vibrant small and large business activity is for a thriving community. Seeing environmental, economic, and social justice benefits for her city, she has made improving air quality and combatting climate change keystones of her administration. She is leading her city to run on 100% clean energy by 2032 and to reduce carbon emissions by 80% by 2040. She has increased the number of shelters in Salt Lake City for the homeless and pushed for more transparency in policies related to police body cameras, improving life quality for all citizens. The Honorable Mayor Jackie Biskupski will share her vision for how social justice and economic development can work together to build an inclusive future and the vital role of engineers in that future.
Access to traditional prosthetics for children is challenging due to high costs, healthcare policies, and technology limits. A local family contacted Albert Manero while he was working on his graduate research. Then six-year-old Alex Pring was born without most of his right arm. Alex performed daily activities by making use of his left hand and his mom’s assistance. His family wanted to buy a prosthetic, but the high costs and accessibility challenges made that not feasible. Alex’s mom connected with Manero, then a doctoral engineering student at the University of Central Florida (UCF). Working with a passionate team of engineers and designers, they created a 3-D printed electromyographic arm for Alex, and Limbitless Solutions was born. Limbitless Solutions is a non-profit direct support organization at UCF designing affordable and expression bionic arms for children at no cost to families. Dr. Manero and his team advise research and design teams at UCF to improve access to bionics and to conduct research to advance empowerment technology. Engaging with K-12 local schools to promote the social impact that engineering is capable of, the team is looking to develop a more inclusive and creative engineering landscape for the future. Limbitless Solutions has received extensive national recognition for their work including being featured as part of Microsoft’s Collective Project.
There is near universal consensus that paying attention to diversity and inclusion is beneficial for student, staff, and faculty engagement and organizational success. Often, organizations employ mentoring programs to effect inclusion, or to help promote diversity within the organization. Rarely, however, do participants in these mentoring initiatives understand how much difference in culture, background and perspective can impact the mentoring relationship or how to leverage those differences to maximize the effectiveness of mentoring. In this session, Deborah Besser, director of the Center for Engineering Education at the University of St. Thomas, will introduce a model of cultural competency, create deeper understanding of the pillars of culture, and offer concrete strategies on how to leverage differences to create understanding, trust, and results in mentoring.
