We hypothesized that participating in theseprojects facilitates engagement in the course and Engineering Science major. Each learningoutcome is assessed by the instructor using a custom rubric. In addition to student performance,we also consider how this project may support student engagement and retention viainstructors’ reflections and student surveys.

engineering service-learningprograms [28, 29] are more likely to pursue a graduate degree or enter the engineeringworkforce, maintain a greater belonging to the engineering field, and experience increasedgrowth in professional and professional skills.However, despite these positive impacts, undergraduate engineering students are less likely totake advantage of such experiences than their non-engineering counterparts and spendsignificantly more time on academic coursework [30]. While this may reflect a traditionaltendency to focus on technical competencies in engineering education, current thinking amongengineering professionals, as evidenced in engineering education standards, aligns with moregeneral trends in undergraduate education that emphasize

The quantitativemethod will involve assessing student performance and perception. Entrance surveys, exitsurveys, and course evaluations will be used to collect data. The qualitative method willcomprise interviews with students, course instructors, and internship mentors. Surveys andinterview questions have been developed by working with Northwestern University’s Center forAdvancing Learning & Teaching. The results of the analysis will be then used to reflect on thecurriculum and form a basis for possible future revisions. As the alumni of the program builds,we will conduct follow-up surveys to assess

To accomplish these goals, students participate in interactive classdiscussions and projects related to academic success and community building, as previouslyreported [5]. In addition, students are required to attend and submit a reflection on each of theacademic and community building resources

We wanted the students to develop problem solvingand self-directed learning abilities while they also remain motivated to learn increasinglychallenging topics. To incorporate experiential learning in our curriculum, each module beginsfrom concrete experience to reflective observation, then to abstract conceptualization to activeexperimentation. In other words, the first stage is where the learner actively experiences anactivity. The second stage is when the learner consciously reflects back on that experience. Thethird stage is where the learner attempts to conceptualize a theory or a model of what is observed.The fourth stage is where the learner is trying to plan how to test a model or

As such, universities across the world are implementing initiatives thatseek to transform engineering education in order to increase student engagement and reducedropout rates from courses and programs [10-12]. These initiatives demonstrate that studentengagement is a multidimensional construct that needs to be approached through a holisticperspective that transcends the presentation of content in the classroom [13]. Instructors canappeal to students’ personal interests, offer opportunities for self-reflection, or
