She began incorporating service-learning (SL) projects into the capstone design course for environmental engineer- ing in 2001. This began her journey to determine how to rigorously assess the learning outcomes for students who worked on SL projects as compared to other types of projects in the course. Her engineer- ing education research interests include students’ attitudes and knowledge about sustainable engineering, engineering ethics, and attracting and retaining women in engineering.Prof. Kurt Paterson P.E., Michigan Technological University Kurt

, they are inherently benefitting society.Missing from the conversations were discussions of civic responsibility for an engineer. Onestudent talked about wanting to positively affect society by working on building codecommittees, and two other students highlighted an engineer’s ability to educate the public aboutissues like hydraulic fracturing. None of the students, however, talked directly about the needfor engineers to influence legislation or guide public policy. With only six of the 535 membersof congress being engineers, and only 11 from Science, Technology, Engineering orMathematics (STEM) backgrounds17, it is not surprising that ideas of civic responsibility arelacking in the discourse surrounding the role of engineers in society.(c

To this end, President Obama set a goal to graduate 10,000 moreengineers each year from American institutions [1]. In addition, Energy Secretary Steven Chuhas stated, “We need engineers. We need scientists. This is going to be at the heart of how theUnited States is going to remain competitive” [2

One student expressed frustrationthe team forgot a camera because this student believed “cameras offer better evidence.”Engineering design educators may benefit from helping students learn to critically evaluatepictorial evidence. Moreover, the high value students place on being efficient may undermineother learning objectives. For example, one student team reflected that having a
