A Synergistic Approach to Outreach and Teaching: Combining Service Learning at the College Level with a Summer Hands-On Outreach Program in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering for High School Girls
Chemical Engineering Education, v58 n3 p179-189 2024
A synergetic approach to combine service learning at the university level with a high school outreach program is described. A holistic view is presented by discussing the importance of outreach and service learning, survey results, and outcomes. Overall, it was found that the unique program increased the self-efficacy (belief about one's abilities) of students ranging from high school to graduate level, and positively impacted the social responsibility attitudes of university student participants.
