However, these service experiences have not been integrated intothe engineering curriculum. The motivation to integrate engineering majors into this particularservice learning project is to demonstrate to engineering students that: - engineering careers can provide great benefit to local communities, - although just starting college studies, first-year engineers can mentor youth who may never have

Interview questions asked them about choosing to major inengineering, their current career plans, their plans to use their engineering skills in volunteering,the main things they took from the class, how (if at all) it changed their thinking, how they thinkabout ethics, and if they thought the skills and information from their general education courseswould be useful in their careers.Survey data was analyzed to see if survey responses in any areas changed significantly betweenthe pre- and post-surveys using paired sample t-tests.

deepening the educationalexperience to equip graduates to succeed in the diverse global economy. Educating students tothrive in their careers with the technological, societal, cultural and environmental complexitiesthey will face requires new approaches. Modern discussions in engineering education consideradding required time to graduation to add time into the packed curriculum to address theseissues. Extended time to graduation is fraught with problems in today’s reality of the high costof education and political pressures especially with state supported institutions. An alternative isto consider new pedagogical approaches that can add efficiencies into the curriculum wherestudents can learn and gain experiences that will carry them successfully
