Engineering, Villanova University, Villanova, PA, USA * Corresponding author: zuyi.huang@villanova.eduAbstract: As an engineering technical software, MATLAB has become an immensely populartool in both academia and industry. It is widely used as a software supplement to many coursesin the College of Engineering at Villanova University. On the other hand, instructors of differentcourses have to spend time introducing MATLAB repeatedly. And instructors are usually left to avery fragmental teaching of MATLAB tools needed for a specific project in a course. Moreover,being focused on the fundamentals of the course, the instructors usually do not have much time toexplain the details of MATLAB. This leaves students frustrated and unaware where to seek

Prior to our program’s senior design course, students receive some general training inengineering design during the first and second year required classes, though specialized skillsoften needed are not formally introduced or practiced. In response, efforts are being made todevelop specific skills-building modules and opportunities for students to gain practicalexperience for application to their senior design project, but ultimately to improve the skillset ofgraduating students. These include the development of new hands-on curricular modules and asummer innovation internship, aimed to enhance students’ technical skills, professionaldevelopment skills, and entrepreneurship knowledge.This study is focused on our inaugural

Community MembersProject OverviewA robust and diverse engineering workforce is essential to national security and economiccompetitiveness, and current rates of higher education enrollment in engineering are notsufficient to support the need. Thus, broadening participation in engineering fromunderrepresented groups is a critical priority. To address this need, this project focuses oneconomically disadvantaged rural students. Given the unique geographic and cultural factors thatimpact rural students’ career choices, it is critical to study choice in context [1, 2]. In ruralcommunities, students career choices are heavily influenced by the people and values of the localcommunity; family, teachers, and friends, in particular, often played a key role

In this situation, the service isproviding a learning opportunity to the provider of the service and the recipients of the service(to include the high school students and the teacher).Service learning enhances students’ academic and civic engagement through a combination oftraditional learning activities and community services.
