The qualitative part of the data analysis suggests that service learning is effective inpart because it facilitates four types of outcomes: an increased sense of personal efficacy, anincreased awareness of the world, an increased awareness of one’s personal values, andincreased engagement in the classroom experience. Both qualitative and quantitative resultsunderscore, once again, the power of reflection as a means of connecting the service experienceto the academic course material. The primary forms of reflection used were discussions amongstudents, discussions with professors, and written reflection in the form of journals and papers.Given that service-learning has demonstrated positive outcomes on student

Thus,negative comments reflect a fundamental observation: for engineering, servant-leadershipprojects are more time-consuming than conventional course projects due to the need to serve anoutside stakeholder on a deadline. A best-practice, therefore, is build more time into courses forservant-leadership projects than is typically given for conventional projects.To further place negative aquaponics miniature project comments in context, it is helpful tocompare this project against design-and-build projects selected by instructors in previousofferings of this thermodynamics course.

In the end, we aim to gain a better understanding about whether the branch of theengineering profession called LTS cultivates imaginaries that echo LTS’s articulated values ofequity, justice, empowerment, and transformation and bring engineers closer to the publics theyaim to serve. Ultimately, we are interested in determining whether LTS aligns itself more closelywith diverse publics’ articulations of their own visions, definitions of their own needs, andvisions

So it is ultimately their commitment andaccountability to their values (see 4.1.1.1 above) and accountability practices that determinetheir downward accountability with communities.Three key variables determine how NGO accountability to communities is reflected inpractice: depth, openness and frequency. Depth is related to communities' access to NGOmanagement, what knowledge communities have of NGOs, how relevant topics discussed atmeetings are to communities, who gets to speak at these meetings, and how controversialissues are handled at these meetings. Openness is reflected on meeting’s agenda, format andconduct. Can community concerns be formally aired during meetings with them

ThoughFurco (2003) stated that at least two hundred different definitions of service-learning have beenpublished, the distinguishing factor of between S-L and community-service is that S-L isintentionally designed to meet learning (often academic) objectives. Other components commonin service-learning definitions include 1) the need for student reflection on the value of the effort,2) the connection and integration of the effort with the community, and 3) the attainment byparticipants of the desirable outcome of civic or social responsibility.The benefits of CE projects are well documented in the literature13, 27.
