2018-19 Faculty Fellow in Engaged Learning Project

One of the aims of engineering education is workplace-ready graduates who possess both technical expertise in their field and professionalism in communication, project management and resource oversight. With colleagues in the College of Engineering, Rick Evans is analyzing how well a hands-on social entrepreneurship project has helped students develop competencies associated with professional engineers. His assessment is based on the experiences of students in an engaged learning partnership with Fundación Chile and child-care nonprofit SOS Children’s Village. He is evaluating if students’ experience with business plans, market research and fundraising strategies for the nonprofit’s fledgling aquaculture business boosted their professional competencies.
