predominantlydescriptive. They also found weaknesses in the two or three-factor model because of the lack ofwidespread usage. Through factor analyses, Cnaan and Goldberg-Glen found that most motivesgrouped to one factor, suggesting a unidimensional scale. (Cnaan & Goldberg-Glen 1991). However, the unidimensional scale was soon challenged by multifactor models. Clary andSnyder found that different volunteers have different motivations for volunteering, and that onevolunteer can have several motivations (Clary & Snyder 1999: 157). They developed theVolunteer Functions Inventory (VFI) to identify the extent to which 6 sources of motivation,known as “functions” (Values, Understanding, Career, Social, Enhancement, and Protective),have the greatest influence

community members, and university-based partners together to celebrate student projects, with the objective of increasing family awareness of STEM topics and career options for their children and providing family members with ways to engage with their children around STEM. Method Grade 3-5 students impacted by the project were surveyed before the projectbegan and after one academic year of implementation. Students responded to close-endedquestions that examined their attitudes around their understanding and interests inmathematics, science, and engineering, whether they have career aspirations in theSTEM field, their perceptions of their peers, teachers and family in support of

Competence, Engineering and TabooTo fill this gap in engineering education of culturally and contextually relevant research, there isa need for a new social justice literacy in engineering.5 Yet, this is not the case when looking atthe professionalization of the engineering career: “In this point, the professional associationrecognises the need for engineers to play a broader social and environmental role. Yet theemphasis on technical competencies sends a powerful message to engineering educators,highlighting the primacy of technical knowledge in a crowded curriculum”.6 The need for thisnew literacy to highlight how one might gauge a sense of social responsibility has beenformalized through two metrics. The metrics of assessment are twofold: first

classroom. Finally the obvious outcome of international service learning is the students getinternational design experience. The projects make it very easy for students to expose themselvesto international design codes and standards rather than the national and local requirements. Theycan interact with more engineers around the globe, and perform engineering services whereneeded. They are also exposed to other cultures and understand the real world problems andconstraints. This opportunity easily enhances students’ personal skills, and improves their abilityand confidence in dealing with bigger problems, and therefore prepares them for theirengineering career [40].Another important benefit for students is that the international service learning

enriching learning experiences as will be evident in the followingcase study. The students and mentors involved in this process volunteer a significant number ofhours to EWB@MSU meetings and fundraisers. This affords students an opportunity to developtheir own solutions to diverse, multi-cultural problems with their peers and mentors. Thisinductive style of learning inspires students to engage in the process2. The project-based andproblem-based learning model provides an opportunity for increased engagement not only instudents’ respective studies, but in developing the strong communication, leadership andlife-long learning skills that are required for success both in their careers and EWB@MSUprojects. Inductive methods promote a deeper approach to
