While some faculty members continue to integrate service-learning in theirteaching, others have discontinued its use. Most studies on faculty involvement with service-learning have focused on factors that influence whether or not faculty adopt service-learningpedagogy, and no study has investigated factors for discontinuing the use of service-learning inengineering. This study examines the motivation for faculty involvement in service

As a result, introductory undergraduate level MSEM class (with or without lab component)has become part of traditional non-MSEM engineering programs such as mechanical andindustrial engineering. In some cases, this type of class is a required component of anundergraduate course curriculum.

This model provides a basis for comparing and contrasting programs. In addition,it can be used as a check list for developing a new LTS program, evolving an existing LTSprogram, integrating LTS into a curriculum, or assessing the quality of an LTS program.The dimensions are formulated to capture the qualities of current LTS programs that are presentacross a wide breadth of engineering institutions.

To facilitate this approach, the curriculum was developed around key concepts andquestions, rather than around lectures and information dissemination. By creating general areasof inquiry that span across disciplines, multiple faculty could provide the perspectives of theirown disciplines to inform a broader understanding of the topic relevance.
