This paper describes the design and assessment of a service-learning module in arequired junior-level course in probability and statistics for engineering students at a large publicuniversity, which typically enrolls 90-100 students. This course is ideal for service learningbecause students struggle with the material, complaining it is “too theoretical”, and can feelanonymous in a large lecture course. Yet, there are few examples of how to successfullyintegrate service-learning ideas, including reflection activities, into a high-enrollment course thattraditionally focuses heavily on quantitative fundamentals.This paper details the design, student work

Most students take someform of engineering design in their capstone experience, as is recommended by ABET [1].Recently, however, more opportunities for this work have been created for underclassmen.Studies have shown that placing team-based engineering design earlier in an engineeringcurriculum can provide students with valuable teamwork skills and connections to real-worldengineering work, as well as increase retention of material learned in class [2].

In engineering, in particular, theyneed opportunities to have ownership over the design problem; although posed by a customer orclient, design problems are framed by the designer [23], leading to a sense of agency [24] andownership [25].Interest can drive a sense of ownership over learning [26], which in turn can foster a mastery-oriented stance on learning [27] and help students make decisions about their futures [28].

Usually, the capstone design course at thesenior level allows students to synthesize what they learned and exercise their creative ability.The main goal is to facilitate an environment for students to walk through the entire designprocess from the formulation of ideas, through implementation, test and validation. There aremany reasons that might contribute to the difficulty faced by the students in their ability tosynthesize and be creative. Two specific contributing reasons that we identified and attemptedto address are (1) insufficient critical thinking exercises and (2) lack of self-motivated activitiesunlike the cook-book
