Giselle Guanes is a Ph.D. candidate and research associate at The Ohio State University in the Department of Engineering Education, where she is part of the Beliefs in Engineering Research Group (BERG). Previously, she obtained her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Kansas State University. Currently, she is doing research regarding beliefs about 1) diverse approaches to decision making, and 2) community participation in service-learning design decisions. Beyond that, she is interested in design, social justice, and Latinxs in engineering.

David Delaine, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor within the Department of Engineering Education at The Ohio State University’s College of Engineering. He leads the Inclusive Community-based Learning (iCBL) Lab which produces new knowledge that furthers understanding of the ways in which community-based learning (service-learning, outreach, volunteerism) in engineering can impact students, participating stakeholders, and communities through reciprocal partnership. Evidence-based approaches are developed within CBL contexts that can support the formation of socially-responsible engineering professionals while promoting social justice and broadening participation outcomes in engineering. Dr Delaine has obtained a bachelor’s in electrical engineering from Northeastern University, a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Drexel University, and served as a Postdoctoral Fulbright Scholar at the Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo.

Linjue Wang is currently a Ph.D candidate and graduate research associate in the Department of Engineering Education at The Ohio State University, USA. She received her B.E. in Built Environment & Equipment Engineering from Tsinghua University, China. She has various service-learning experiences as a volunteer and curriculum designer in high schools from undeveloped areas in China. Her research interests encompass service-learning and community engagement, as well as empowering engineering education in high schools in rural areas.
