Progress] Community Engagement in a First-Year Engineering Communication Course: Increasing Student Numbers from Handfuls to Hundreds.AbstractEngaging first-year engineering students in their mandatory, first-term, communication coursecan be a challenge when some may not yet understand how these communication skills will beused in their day-to-day professional interactions. However, adding a real client with real needswhere the students’ work can have real impact adds immediacy and interest. To those ends, acommunity service learning team proposal project was created in 2011 for 60 students of a firstterm, first-year engineering writing course, which is a part of a common first-year engineeringcurriculum. In this

in the spring of the sophomore year. This structure provided an overlap of students intheir first and second year in the course. All student teams met concurrently one evening perweek to work on faculty-provided projects. Each faculty member was responsible forapproximately four teams. Faculty and students began each year of the program with excitement,but over time, a number of significant challenges emerged, among these the explosive growth ofthe George Fox University engineering program and its potential effect on the sustainability ofthe program. Therefore, in this paper we follow-up on our published review of the first few yearsof the program. Here we discuss the mechanics of these changes and their continuing effect onthe overall

partners (and a new engineering program) for service learningBackground and MotivationService learning as a pedagogical strategy is well documented. At its best, service learningallows an opportunity to bridge technical education in the classroom to practice. Additionally, itencourages student development of communication skills, leadership, critical thinking, activelearning, and cultural understanding [1]. These skills learned through service learning benefitstudents upon graduating, as they will be expected to interact with people from diversebackgrounds in order to solve complex problems. For engineering students, these goals andneeds are no different, as engineers work on multidisciplinary projects that

However, many of these practices pose challenges on a virtualcollege campus or in an online classroom. This paper explores a case study where servicelearning projects were incorporated into two introductory engineering classes, one taught in atraditional face-to-face format and the other taught online. In this case study, the face-to-facestudents worked in small groups with a local historical

which they are not members isthat student learning often takes precedence over project outcomes, and community partnerssuffer as a result. The motivation for developing this course was to alleviate this problematicaspect of service learning. A curriculum was designed with the goal that students would seethemselves in solidarity with, instead of separate from or better than, struggles in their home orcampus communities.Background“Engineering to Help” (ETH) is a term coined by Schneider, et al., [1] to encompass the growingnumber of collegiate programs- including service learning, humanitarian engineering, sustainabledevelopment, and others- that share a mission to “help” communities “in need”.

-learning context, the intention was to emphasize service, however academic demands dominated.Because of the hands-on design-and-build curriculum, the instructors felt that students couldperform effectively as engineers without additional “academic” material overhead. Thus, muchof the documentation requirements were curtailed.When the requirements eased, student passion returned; yet, the instructors soon discovered thatwith this excitement came reduced project performance. Though the faculty was teaching thedesign process and engaged students with multiple projects throughout the curriculum, studentshad not effectively learned how to develop project requirements and specifications. Therefore,the instructors revamped the approach and implemented a

We gladly took it on as a class project since studentswere studying finite element methods and learning a new software – ANSYS. We were rewardedfor it - students loved this service project as it created a link between abstract engineering theoryand everyday objects they could touch and see.
