This paper intent to elaborate Local Content Curriculum (LCC) development based on responsive evaluation. The main purpose of LCC is to bridge both school experience and student live experience. Additionally, by introducing local culture from early years to student, its used as an effective tools to conserve diversity of cultural heritage which has exist in Indonesian people. Unfortunately, some research indicated that application of LCC in school tend to emphasize for transfer of knowledge an-sich, and scope of local culture are narrowed. Local value as a lens of community to solve their problem less appreciated in developing LCC. Its cause LCC loss of relevance to prepare student to be an active participant in their community. In this sense, school leaders, teacher, and decision maker in educationÂ needs to collaborate with stakeholders to identify the local culture that can be use as foundation in character education by using responsive evaluation.Â ABSTRAKÂ Kajian ini dimaksudkan untuk mengelaborasi pengembangan kurikulum muatan lokal dengan menggunakan evaluasi responsif sebagai pijakannya. Elan-vital kurikulum muatan lokal di sekolah dimaksudkan untuk meningkatkan relevansi pembelajaran dengan konteks sosial-budaya peserta didik dan diharapkan berperan dalam melestarikan khazanah keragaman budaya yang merupakan soko-guru kebudayaan nasional. Dalam aplikasinya, nilai dan budaya lokal yang menjadi isi pembelajaran di sekolah muatan lokal lebih menekankan transfer dan penguasaan pengetahuan yang mapan (established knowledge). Sehingga reinterpretasi dan revitalisasi kearifan lokal yang diharapkan menjadi basis pendidikan karakter tidak berjalan sebagaimana diharapkan. Karenanya, evaluasi terhadap kearifan lokal dengan mempertimbangkan relevansinya dan melibatkan stakeholders, sebagaimana ditawarkan model evaluasi responsif, diyakini mampu memberi kontribusi dalam mempersiapkan peserta didik dalam menjawab berbagai tantangan. Pembahasan ini dilakukan melalui tinjauan literatur yang relevan sehingga diharapkan mampu memberi kontribusi konseptual dalam pengembangan kurikulum muatan lokal pada masa mendatang.

Analysis of Integrated Engineering and Social Science Approaches for Projects in Developing Communities
Authors: Garff Parry , Dahlin Eric , Ward Carol , Lewis Randy
Published: March 2018

Current design methods such as appropriate technology, human-centered design, and participatory design are intended to generate development projects that resonate with users in communities in developing countries. These approaches are extremely useful, but often lack adequate documentation about how to collect data on and incorporate users feedback into the project’s design. To address this gap, we introduced social science research methods into a service-learning course for undergraduate engineering students, which culminated in a trip to the communities for whom they were designing, to help students incorporate user feedback into the design of their projects. This paper documents our efforts. One of the main findings from a survey administered to students enrolled in the service-learning course indicate that students exhibited greater awareness of the users’ needs, rather than the technical specifications of their projects, after their on-site visit and interviews with users in the community. We conclude by identifying ways students were successful and plans for improving the integration of instruction about social science research methods into the engineering course.
Scholarly Advances in Humanitarian Engineering and Social Entrepreneurship: A Typology of Research Publications
Authors: Dzombak Rachel , Mehta Khanjan
Published: March 2018

The rapid increase in academic and professional programs in Humanitarian Engineering and Social Entrepreneurship reflects a paradigm shift towards market-centric approaches to scale Appropriate Technology solutions for developing communities. Trans-disciplinary academic frameworks that integrate teaching, research and entrepreneurial engagement can be pivotal in the development of such sustainable and scalable technology ventures. Engaging students in original, institution-approved, and publishable research can bolster their learning while strengthening the venture-creation process. Although the dissemination of knowledge (e.g. designs, business strategies, lessons learned, effective educational regimens) is desired by the growing community and is recognized as crucial to success, several systemic barriers impede the emergence of open and democratic scholarly forums. This article discusses the opportunities and challenges faced by students, faculty and practitioners in their quest for disseminating knowledge through scholarly channels. While the knowledge is extremely valuable, it cannot always be encapsulated and shared through conventional hypothesis-driven manuscripts. Consequently, academics and practitioners struggle to carve out and share aspects of their work that constitute scholarship and can potentially help other innovators. This article presents a typology of manuscript frameworks to illustrate the multiplicity of publication types that can collectively transform this exciting field into a rigorous, vibrant, and respected global community of engaged scholars and problem-solvers.
Reflections on Multidisciplinary Teamwork: From Experience to Impact
Authors: Liguori Krista , Eckman Molly , Mehta Khanjan
Published: March 2018

The Humanitarian Engineering and Social Entrepreneurship (HESE) Program at Penn State engages students and faculty across the university in rigorous research, design, field-testing, and launch of technology-based social enterprises. The complex nature of the real-world problems tackled by HESE ventures requires engagement from students and faculty across the university. Such interdisciplinary teamwork is fraught with issues stemming from differing academic traditions, vocabularies, communication, work habits, and most importantly, philosophies of entrepreneurial engagement in developing countries. This reflection article, based on interviews with 22 highly engaged students and recent alumni, provides a candid reflection on the structures and practices within the HESE program that facilitate or, at times, impede multidisciplinary teamwork. The methods and approaches described in this article are not best practices. Rather, they are simply practices and lessons learned that have emerged over time, and continue to evolve, as students and faculty in HESE march forward on their learning, research and entrepreneurial engagement continuum.
Achieving and Assessing Service in Computing Service Learning: Lessons from Computing for Good
Authors: Zegura Ellen W
Published: March 2018

In the last 10 years, computing departments have introduced service learning in the curriculum at multiple levels, from introductory computing to senior design/capstone. Service learning combines discipline-specific learning content with real-world service in a form of experiential learning. Yet as Connolly observes in his SIGCSE 2012 paper “Is There Service in Computing Service Learning?” the presence of “true service” in these offerings is under examined in comparison to the focus on student learning outcomes. As far back as 2007, George and Shams highlighted in their IJSLE paper the challenge of assessing the closely related concept of “customer satisfaction” in international service learning. We aim to fill this examination gap by drawing on our experiences over the last five years teaching a senior-level Computing for Good class. We identify categories of risk to achieving service and key challenges within each category. We describe our course structure and the mechanisms we use to overcome challenges in achieving true service. We then turn to assessment of service and assemble evidence that many of our course projects have external value against several metrics. We provide guidance to others interested in creating or adapting engineering and computing service learning courses so that learning and service occur in roughly equal measure.
Impacting the Community through a Sophomore Design Experience

Published: March 2018

Cornerstone design at James Madison University is a two-semester, client-based service learning project. Each year, sophomore engineering students work to design human-powered vehicles for a community member with needs very different from their own as a result of cerebral palsy. This paper provides a reflection of the fifth iteration (2013-2014) of this year-long sophomore design experience with the overarching goal to provide a transferable model such that other engineering programs may learn from our lessons and develop their own service learning experience. The reflection contained in this paper was catalyzed through participation in the National Science Foundation-funded Integrating Design and Community Engagement within the Curriculum Workshop hosted at Purdue University from June 19-20, 2014. In addition to reflection on the course, the paper provides insight into course coordination and assessment, and lessons learned over the past five years.

Authors: Sanchez Roque T , Elliott Allison A , Sibley Rebecca , Grenader Nonya S , Houchens Brent C , Samuels Danny M
Published: March 2018

An affordable, solar powered row house is designed and constructed for implementation in a historically low-income area of Houston, Texas. This ZeRow House is tied to the electrical grid for purchase of electricity at night, but completely compensates by generating more power than needed during the day when electric grid demands peak, particularly in the hot, humid summer months. The result is a home with net-zero energy purchased from the grid and the simultaneous elimination of battery storage. This home was one of twenty entries in the 2009 D.o.E. Solar Decathlon. Throughout the project decisions were always mindful of the final purpose: the demonstration of an affordable, easily reproducible solar powered home that honors the row house tradition of Houston’s Third Ward, while taking advantage of modern durable materials and energy conversion technology, and bringing a focus on sustainability and education to the greater community.

This paper presents the results of the assessment of a community-scale drinking water treatment system by students from the University of _____ School of Engineering, working in collaboration with members of the organization Living Waters for the World. This system, installed worldwide in communities facing a severe lack of sustainable, clean drinking water, uses microfiltration and ozone to treat water. Evaluation of the system required analysis of several water quality parameters and the development of a chlorine disinfection table. It was determined that the ozone disinfection system effectively treats water, removing bacteria that indicate the presence of pathogens that could cause adverse health effects in humans.
Pico-Hydropower Franchising in Rural Honduras
Authors: Thomas Brian
Published: March 2018

This paper describes a four-year effort to alleviate poverty in rural villages of Honduras by creating financially self-sustaining electricity businesses at the village level. What began as a humanitarian engineering project undertaken by students and faculty at Baylor University, subsequently evolved into a larger effort of social entrepreneurship that included the incorporation of companies in the United States and Honduras. A novel micro-franchise business model was created that used small hydropower systems to generate electricity in local villages, and local villagers having vested financial interests to maintain, distribute, and protect these systems. Two of the authors relocated to Honduras to install village-level franchises, but numerous problems plagued the project. A few months after we launched the businesses, however, a fatal flaw was identified in the business model regarding the pace at which new systems could be deployed. Disclosure of this flaw resulted in the loss of funding. This paper will attempt to share the successes and failures of this project. Focus will be given to the most innovative aspects of our project which were largely entrepreneurial in nature. Technical details, when they are novel, will be shared, but hydro electric basics will be omitted where there is existing literature.
Low-Tech Coconut Shell Activated Charcoal Production
Authors: Cobb Ami , Warms Mikell , Maurer Edwin P. , Chiesa Steven
Published: March 2018

Water treatment technologies in the developing world typically focus on removing two types of impurities from water sources: suspended, particulate materials and microbial pathogens. However, as industrialization and high-input agriculture has expanded into the developing world, a third type of impurity has increased in importance. Chemical impurities such as pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers have found their way into drinking water supplies and have been linked to severe health-related issues. Activated carbon has the capacity to remove these problematic chemicals from water sources. The possibility of producing a low-tech, inexpensive, and effective activated carbon from local agricultural waste by-products was assessed for the community of Bluefields, Nicaragua. Coconut shell charcoal was produced on site, and various chemical activation steps were then investigated. Ultimately, it was discovered that sodium chloride (common table salt) could successfully activate the coconut shell-based charcoal. The adsorption capacity of three separate chemically activated coconut shell charcoals was analyzed, with common table salt being the most inexpensive and feasible option.

Authors: Ing Marsha , Huang Peter , LaCombe Nohemi , Martinez-Lopez Yahaira , Haberer Elaine D
Published: March 2018

The purpose of this study is to describe how analyzing student work can be used to help undergraduates reflect on the effectiveness of their service-learning experiences. The service-learning collaboration between a university and middle school was designed to increase undergraduates’ and middle school students’ knowledge of solar energy. Three undergraduates enrolled in a service-learning course that covered basic solar energy concepts and formative assessment instructional strategies. The focal point of the course was the implementation of several activities in a middle school classroom that addressed middle school students’ misconceptions about solar energy, such as the amount of solar energy production at low temperatures or on a cloudy day. Data from this study includes student work during a small-group activity on solar cells. Findings suggest that undergraduates can analyze student work and use this information to better understand how their efforts can influence middle school student learning of solar energy.
Solar Disinfection in a Community-Scale Water Treatment System: An Analysis of Design Parameters for Humanitarian Engineering and System Sustainability
Authors: Kendricks Marni Reeves , Sisco Tracey E. , David Joanna L. , Surbeck Cristiane Queiroz
Published: March 2018

SODIS, solar disinfection of water in plastic bottles, is a well-known water treatment method in communities lacking developed infrastructure. While SODIS is commonly employed by individuals and family units needing clean drinking water in many parts of the world, a community-scale solar disinfection system is presented in this paper as sustainable, humanitarian engineering concept. A community-scale system may be accepted by communities that reject the individual-bottle SODIS method. The triple bottom line of sustainability (society, environment, and economy) may be met by community-scale systems. To test the treatment effectiveness of the system, experiments were conducted to quantify the solar inactivation rate of total coliform bacteria from contaminated source water.  Solar disinfection configurations in tanks and bottles were analyzed for the effect of ultraviolet (UV) light index, water temperature, tank color, plastic covering, and duration of sun exposure. A black tank, covered with a clear, plastic drop cloth of 2 MIL (0.0508 mm) thickness provided the highest inactivation rate of total coliforms. A contour plot of UV index versus water temperature provides guidelines for minimum required sun exposure times for disinfection.
Rope Pump Modifications to Reach Greater Depths: A Service Project for Clean Water in The Gambia

Published: March 2018

Rope pumps are a locally adaptable and relatively simple technology for water retrieval that are easy to understand and repair and perform well with respect to water quality. Concern Universal - an NGO with offices in Banjul, The Gambia - was introducing the rope pump into The Gambia and needed assistance in designing a rope pump that could lift water from greater depths. Modifications to the rope pump would be needed, which became the basis of an opportunity for a student service-learning project / capstone design experience for students to develop a solution. More specifically, the design criteria were to develop an affordable, easy to use rope pump that could be used to pump water from a depth of 30 m to a storage tank 5 m above ground with a constraint of human power by a single operator. A team of undergraduate students and faculty designed, built and tested a rope pump that was similar to those used in rural Gambian villages. The team’s rope pump design, analyze, build and test process is described in this paper. The design solution began by first modeling the rope pump in a user-defined MATLAB routine to effectively determine the effects of parameters and constraints. A parametric study, where pipe diameter, number of pistons per meter of rope length, well depth and input rotational speeds were varied, was conducted. These results provide a range of conditions for using a rope pump at various depths and provided a basis for designing a pump. Experimental tests were conducted, and the results were compared to theoretical predictions. Experimental results for flow rate were within 3-18% of predicted values. To meet the client’s needs, it was determined that a rope pump with 1.27 cm (0.5 in) diameter piping, two pistons per meter, and a belt drive with gears of ratio of 1.5:1 to increase torque could raise water 35 m using operator under human-power. Additionally, alternative forms of power that would be available to the region are briefly investigated and discussed as potential future work, although further development was beyond the scope of this design project.
Learning Design through the Lens of Service: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Hey David W. , Slivovsky Lynne A. , Self Brian P. , Widmann James , Taylor J. Kevin
Published: March 2018

Twenty-four senior-level capstone engineering design projects were completed at a large, public, primarily undergraduate university involving 85 students (70 male and 15 female). All projects involved the design of equipment to facilitate physical activity for people with disabilities. The effects on: i) learning design, ii) attitude towards people with disabilities, iii) motivation to complete team design projects and iv) interdisciplinary collaboration were analyzed through 24 one-hour focus groups. We explored the student experience using a constructivist approach and grounded theory. Four major themes (with associated sub-themes) emerged from our data analysis: learning design (project management, iterative design process, and user-centered design), motivation to complete design (engineering, disabilities, user), perceptions of people with disabilities (previous experience, changed attitudes and beliefs), and multidisciplinary collaboration (etiquette presentation, communication between disciplines, defining roles and expectations). Students completing these projects were shown to appreciate user-centered design, exhibit greater motivation when able to meet and develop a relationship with their client in person, discuss altruistic factors regarding their capstone experience, and were able to develop strong multidisciplinary skills.
Point-of-Use Water Filtration for Arsenic: A Sustainable and Simple Solution in Resource-Poor Settings
Authors: Passman Stephen D. , White Tyler J. , Lewis Roger D.
Published: March 2018

Lack of access to potable drinking water due to contamination from harmful metals is one of the most pressing public health issues globally. In areas close to mining and smelting operations, significant contamination from arsenic and other harmful metals can compound contamination from harmful microorganisms in drinking water. In response to this dual hazard, this study tests a prototype design of an improved point-of-use water filter for resource-poor areas and exposed populations. This project builds upon previous research that has demonstrated the effectiveness of clay pot filters impregnated with silver in reducing coliform bacteria. A compatible attachment comprised of activated charcoal in the form of bone char was added to the clay pot filter with the purpose of enabling the combined filter system to remove arsenic. The experiment tested the designed attachment with source water having an arsenic concentration of 500 parts per billion (ppb) to investigate the combined filter’s ability to reduce the arsenic to acceptable World Health Organization drinking water standards of 10 parts per billion or below. The results demonstrate a significant decrease in the arsenic concentration to below the 10 ppb standard with the bone char attachment, as well as a decrease in the arsenic concentration with the clay pot filter alone. These results warrant further investigation into the potential for clay pot filters with a charcoal layer to reduce arsenic concentrations in drinking water and demonstrate a potential additional benefit in arsenic removal by utilizing inexpensive bone char material in conjunction with the clay pot filter.

Authors: Nuangchalerm Prasart
Published: March 2018

The environmental and cultural problems in Thailand are large and widely distributed. To address these problems, public awareness must be raised and all sectors of society must assume their civic responsibilities to assist in sustaining both our environment and the local culture. This study sought to engage undergraduate students in civic engagement projects in order to enhance their self-efficacy to address such problems through service learning experiences. One hundred and ninety six undergraduate students participated in a general education course on civic education during the first semester of 2012. This course provided students the opportunity to explore theoretical aspects of citizenship as well as the opportunity to practice community service. Such community service allows the students to experience and learn how the community members live. Data was collected by a variety of methods; self-efficacy questionnaires, student reports, journal writing and reflections, and interviews. Findings revealed that the students had high levels of self-efficacy and increased their levels of civic engagement through the community service conducted.
Interdisciplinary, Collaborative International Service Learning: Developing Engineering Students as Global Citizens
Authors: Songer Anthony D. , Breitkreuz Karen R.
Published: March 2018

Recent calls to reform engineering education place emphasis on applied math and science within the broader context of globalization, economics, the environment, and society. This broad and complex challenge necessitates the investigation of new interdisciplinary education approaches for engineering education. This paper presents a formal approach for developing engineering students as global citizens. The 360 Degree Model for Educating Socially Responsible Global Citizens (360 Global Ed model) presented herein includes a framework for foundational theory, educational environment, academic coursework, and outcomes. At the core of the emerging model is an international service learning experience called the Village Network. The Village Network provides an interdisciplinary educational program that combines classroom learning with authentic international field experiences. The program responds to the demands for integrating technical and social domains in a multi-disciplined, globally sensitive paradigm. The multi-disciplined team approached addresses both internal outcomes of self mastery and motivation that propel individuals to engage as socially responsible global citizens and external outcomes of technical and social knowledge and skills to include sustainability, teaming, and leadership. This paper establishes the need for a global imperative for engineering education and provides a background on globalization, social responsibility and service learning. It describes the 360 degree model for educating socially responsible global citizens and provides pilot assessment results through a mixed methods approach.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERCEIVED AUTONOMY SUPPORT AND PERCEIVED JUSTICE
Authors: Indyastuti Devani Laksmi
Published: March 2018

Previous studies have a little attention on the impact of perceived autonomy support on the justice. This study examines the impact of perceived autonomy support from supervisor and from environment toward perceived procedural justice and interpersonal justice. Based on self interest model and basic need theory, this study hypothesized that individual’s perception of autonomy supported both from supervisor and work environment would affect his/ her perception of procedural. Based on need fulfillment theory, this study hypothesized that individuals’perception of autonomy supported both from supervisor and work environment affect interpersonal justice. This study used 234 lecturers for sample and regression analysis for analizing the data. The results support the hypotheses that the higher individual perception of autonomy supports from both supervisor and work environment is, the higher is individual perception of procedural justice and interpersonal justice. This result implicates that supervisor should build perception of autonomy support among individuals in organization by buiding trust culture, open communication culture, supportive culture to increase the individual perception of procedural and interpersonal justice.

Fermented fish products are consumed by the ethnic people of northeast India as part of their daily diet and also play a significant role in their traditional life style beside some traditional beliefs regarding their health beneficial effects. Among these, fermented fish product prepared from Puntius sp. and Setipinna phasa, known as Shidal is most popular and widely consumed in different states of northeast India. The study was conducted to evaluate the scientific technology regarding processing and production of shidal as well as quality characteristics of Shidal prepared from both the species. The proximate composition shidal indicate their importance in human nutrition particularly in terms of crude protein and lipid. Volatile nitrogenous compounds were found in higher range in both the products; however, lipid oxidation was limited may be due to absence of prooxidants. Both fermented Puntius sp. and Setipinna phasa samples of NEI were found to be loaded with higher number of microbes with significant contribution from lactic acid bacteria which indicates their probiotic importance.

The occurrence of resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has driven current research on combining current anti-tuberculosis drugs and other bioactive molecules to enhance their efficacy against susceptible and resistant strains of the bacteria. In this study, a salicylic acid derivative of pyrazinamide, 2-hydroxy-5-(1-(2-(pyrazine-2-carbonyl)hydrazono)hexyl) benzoic acid was synthesized and characterized. The compound was prepared by coupling a pyrazinamide moiety, one of the first line drugs used to treat tuberculosis and a salicylic acid derivative with a 6-carbon alkyl chain. The salicylic acid derivative was generated via Friedel-Crafts acylation of methyl salicylate followed by base hydrolysis of the acylated product. This was coupled with the pyrazinamide moiety via imine formation. The product, 2-hydroxy-5-(1-(2-(pyrazine-2-carbonyl)hydrazono)hexyl) benzoic acid was obtained as an off-white powder in 62% yield.
