A diverse body of research, as well as 15 years ofpersonal experience with capstone projects and extracurricular student projects, has shown thatthe overall impact of a student project grows through the establishment of relationships thattranscend boundaries.

?AbstractService-learning (S-L) has been integrated into an average of 30 engineering courses every yearsince 2004 in five undergraduate departments. Forty-three faculty members have tried S-L, overhalf the engineering faculty. In 2010-2011, 1267 students (out of an enrollment of 1600) engagedin S-L projects in 33 courses contributing an estimated 49,500 hours to the community. Thisapproach to trying to develop better engineers and more engaged citizens was motivated by thegrowing body of research showing widespread benefits of S-L, the meeting of academicobjectives through addressing real community needs in credit-bearing courses. But what do thestudents who are part of this program think about S-L? In this study surveys of student viewswere collected

service-learning continues to gain prominence in many engineering schools. At PurdueUniversity, for example, three main programs offer students global engineering projectexperience in the context of international development, namely Engineers Without Borders(EWB), Global Design Teams (GDTs), and Engineering Projects in Community Service(EPICS). Participating students work to create technical solutions to address community needs,either for academic credit or as an extracurricular activity. Students involved with such projectstypically have ready access to the technical resources and expertise needed to carry out theirwork, including support from participating faculty and staff. However, preparing students for thenon-technical aspects of their

particular way ofinterpreting, which prevents further reflection. Boud states that if learner experiences feelings 5that prevent further reflection, then the learner must find some way to regain flexibility (p. 29).A common detraction from using reflective practices in engineering is that the students willfocus too much on the emotional aspect of the project, such as complaining about the amountof work to be done or the dysfunction of the team. To help avoid this issue, reflective promptscan be worded to address discoveries and anticipations. This would allow the analysis to focuson how the projects and student work would be impacted by new information
