The S-Lprogram has been supported by three grants from the National Science Foundation. In this effort,the S-L projects are hands-on experiences in core courses of every engineering department,aimed at responding to community needs. The community partners can be local, national orinternational. Most of the S-L projects require the students to assess the engineering componentsof community needs, to design solutions
