carry high stakes for students since both are required for graduation. Thus,negative comments reflect a fundamental observation: for engineering, servant-leadershipprojects are more time-consuming than conventional course projects due to the need to serve anoutside stakeholder on a deadline. A best-practice, therefore, is build more time into courses forservant-leadership projects than is typically given for conventional projects.To further place negative aquaponics miniature project comments in context, it is helpful tocompare this project against design-and-build projects selected by instructors in previousofferings of this thermodynamics course. Examples include 1) calorimeters to identify mystery

area is rural,surrounding communities have few resources for improvement to their communities. The class,Introduction to Project Management, has been developed as a service learning course whichworks with area communities. Students learn basic best practices for project management aswell as basic tools for tracking and controlling projects. The course is a junior level courserequired in the Engineering Management curriculum and students are generally junior or seniorlevel engineering students. A majority of the students are Engineering Management majors, butthe course is growing in popularity with many students from other majors who are minoring inEngineering Management or just taking the class because of the perceived importance in

She is currently the associate chair for Un- dergraduate Education in CEAE and has served as the ABET assessment coordinator since 2008. She began incorporating service-learning (SL) projects into the capstone design course for environmental en- gineering 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 engineering education research interests also include students
