Page 23.1098.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Student Experiences in Service-Learning: Engineering vs. SciencesAbstractThe cognitive and affective benefits of service-learning (S-L) for students have been welldocumented, and S-L has become more common in many disciplines, including engineering, thehealth sciences, and education. Opportunities in the core sciences, however, seem sparse. Thispaper compares the attitudes of science majors and engineering majors toward S-L throughquantitative analysis of survey responses. The goal is to examine student experience andlearning in the context of other factors that might influence participation in S

in Engineering Service-LearningAbstractAttracting and retaining women in engineering is critical in the USA today. While women arecoming to college in overrepresented numbers, they are not represented equally to men inengineering majors. Though a university can only have limited impact on the attrition of womenin the engineering workforce, we can (and must!) work to improve recruitment and retention andto graduate women with adequate preparation for an engineering career. An increasing numberof engineering programs are integrating service-learning (S-L) into their curricula.For the past eight years of one S-L program, students in a college of engineering have beenwidely surveyed at the beginning of their studies and at the end of each

globally competent engineer as one who “work[s] effectively with people whodefine problems differently than they do” (p. 110).8 Moreover, we understand navigating acrosscultures to be a salient characteristic of working effectively with those “who define problemsdifferently.” We understand culture to be “dominant images” (p. 5),9 a framework also proposedby Downey and Lucena.10 Lucena nicely articulates this understanding of culture: “[I]ndividualsliving and working in a particular spatial and temporal location are challenged by dominantimages. Dominant images create expectations about how individuals in that location aresupposed to act or behave. In this … concept of culture, the image remains the same over aperiod of time, while individual or

Each division has one or more not-for-profit agency/ies (such as a museum, government service, charity, etc.) as a communitypartner(s). The students work with their community partner(s) to identify, develop, and deliverprojects that meet the community partner’s needs. Examples of such community needs includedesigning assistive technology for people with disabilities, developing database software forhuman services agencies, and developing engaging science-educational technology forelementary students.

the community, and 3) enabling students to practice autonomy and personalresponsibility in directing their own learning.Servant-Leadership is a leadership paradigm established by Robert Greenleaf in the 1970’s thatemphasizes power sharing in decision making processes. It also encourages leaders to servethose they manage by gently guiding and propelling them toward high achievement andaccomplishment while promoting their growth and self-efficacy. Servant-Leadership advocates ahierarchical structure different from the classical top-down management pyramid often seen inindustry and academia. In industry, management rests at the top of the structure supported byworkers, and in academia, teachers are authority figures with control over content
