Duffy, John; Barrington, Linda; West, Cheryl; Heredia, Manuel; Barry, Carol – Advances in Engineering Education, 2011
In the fall of 2004 a college began a program to integrate service-learning (S-L) projects into required engineering courses throughout the curriculum, so that students would be exposed to S-L in at least one course in each of eight semesters. The ultimate goal is to graduate better engineers and more engaged citizens and to improve communities,…
