The study shows that when this was done, students whoparticipated in service-learning classes had a better sense of civic responsibility then their peersin non service-learning classes. Students also tended to improve their writing skills and theircritical thinking skills. Page 12.1202.2In addition to the non quantitative benefits of service learning, the study showed that there weretangible benefits to service learning as well. Students in service-learning classes tended to havehigher GPAs and were more likely to go on to earn masters and doctoral degrees.Service-learning clubs provide students

The FEA animations are notdescribed in this paper.

tocurricular skills such as mastering a concept. This suggests that motivation for outreach amongstmen engineers may be enhanced by focusing on outreach activities embedded in the curriculum,rather than voluntary extra-curricular occurrences, and that more explicit links between outreachand ABET outcomes may appeal particularly to men. These initial qualitative results will lead to a more targeted quantitative survey the nexttime the course is taught and outreach is performed. Specifically, we would like to probestudent’s enjoyment (valence), student’s confidence on the ABET competencies mentioned herebefore and after the outreach activity (expectancy), and ask students to rate and/or rank the goalsthat emerged as a result of this study, before

In general their results suggest that larger research institutions and programs withmore advanced graduate studies tend to have more parental leave policies, which is likelycommensurate to some degree with the level of resources these different types of institutionshave. However, at the time of their study, only 20% of their respondents had some form of paidparental leave. The most common type of leave policy was the tenure-clock stop, which 49% ofthe responding
