planned to ask students to participate in a post-survey, we found thatthe journal entries, reports and presentations provided sufficient student feedback to gauge theirperceptions of the value of the service-learning module for their education, careers and livesmore generally. This feedback is summarized here.Overall, students were overwhelmingly positive about the service learning in this course, anddescribed it as a unique and foundational experience, as in this example: “I really enjoyed the entireday. We got to help out our fellow community and learn some new things on the way. I have never had anopportunity like this in a class before. Overall, this was an awesome experience.” Other responses included:“It was a completely different approach

The first relates to civil infrastructure projects and landscape-scale impacts on habitat, community resilience, and long- term land use planning; the second involves the utilization, conservation, and management of big game wildlife resources. For the past five years he has led various transdisciplinary teaching and research projects examining land and wildlife resource management conflicts vis-`a-vis public policy, assessing stakeholder needs and desires, resource analysis, and collective impact engagement.

By applying teamwork and leadership skills in thesolution of civil engineering problems, civil engineers must then establish goals, plan tasks, andmeet objectives, thereby achieving the ABET General Criterion 3(5). The greatest gap, althoughstill considered minor, exists between the CEBOK3 and the CEPC. The CEPC only requirescivil engineers to explain the basic concepts of leadership, which is cognitively below the abilityto apply leadership, and does not include diversity and inclusion. The CEBOK3 also includesthe affective domain, which requires the civil engineer to demonstrate the skills to internalize orvalue the human experience.
