A mixed-methods approach was used to examine differencesbetween first-year engineering students who participated in service-learning projects during thefall semester of 2014 and those who did not. Students participating in service-learning projectsshowed significantly higher gains in confidence in both technical and professional engineeringskills. Female students in particular showed the most dramatic gains, with an average increase of81.6% in technical engineering confidence as a result of their service-learning course. The highergains in confidence can be attributed to the students learning more about how to identify andunderstand

The process needed to involve simple chemistry and provideopportunities for introducing different unit operations, teamwork, ethics andsustainability. The other challenge, due to lack of laboratory space, the process ideallywould not require the use of a

Guided by the U.S. Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET), undergraduate engineering programs aim to helpstudents develop “an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility”31. Ingeneral, however, engineering ethics have emphasized principles such as accountabilityto the client—defined as the people or organizations who have retained the engineer’sservices, not as the broader public for whom a given product or innovation will result ineither benefit or harm30.

However, there has also beenextensive work on integrating communication skills throughout the engineering curriculum andcourses, and that is the focus of this work [6]–[8]. Engineering faculty generally value written communication skills and recognize that theyhave a role in helping students to develop those skills.

Diverse information ranges from abstract ideas in the conceptual design step to the smallest details in the detailed design, from checking patents for new ideas to avoid any infringing of existing patents and trade names. Because of this need, the ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) has articulated the importance of student outcomes to include “(f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility”, and “(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.” [5]  Design
