The result has been a win-win-win situation for all participants.The participating departments at USD win by having their processes documented by an unbiasedconsultant. The students win by applying textbook knowledge and by being exposed to abroader knowledge of professionalism and ethics than from textbook exercises. The ISEprogram wins through visibility across campus.This paper presents details on how we implemented the service-learning projects in theIntroduction to Systems Engineering course.

A part of the course is used to advisestudents in proper course selection and prepare students for college life. Students are introducedto a number of subjects that are necessary tools of engineering. Topics include: study skills, timemanagement, the concept of teamwork, professional ethics, and oral and written communicationskills. The computer application aspect of the course is designed with the strength of currentstudents in mind. Students are introduced to basic computer applications as well as moresophisticated software packages such as Matlab.

As part of the study, students characterize the microstructure ofthe material at room temperature, and at the series of test temperatures selected. Everythingproceeds normally until the super-eutectic peak temperature, rapidly-heated sample is pulled. Theunexpected result gets every ones attention, and starts to beg ethical questions. Groups typicallyfeel that they should repeat the test; because the initial consensus is that there was some sort ofprocedural or material problem with that particular sample. At this point, the

It is time consuming and difficult to objectively andconstructively evaluate journals. 12 And finally, although a number of authors claim that journalingappeals to multiple learning styles, 3 the fact remains that journaling may simply not work for somestudents.12 Few studies to date have addressed this issue from a research standpoint. If thesedifficulties are not addressed, students are likely to revolt against journals and may even hardentheir dislike for writing (and thus defeat the purpose!).3.

These instructions include basic and general aircraft -design principles,technical report writing, presentation methods, as well as professionalism and ethics. Besides theformal lecturing, the students skills and abilities in these subjects are constantly challengedthrough their design and fabrication activities.Design ActivitiesAbout four to six students make up a design group. In these groups, the students design andanalyze complete sailplanes or parts of them. The theoretical work includes performanceanalyses of modern high-performance gliders, their stability and control, as well as theirstructures.
