outreach activities are run by faculty and students involved inacademic clubs (Innes et al. 2012).An ideal STEM education experience would be incorporated as required coursework to engage awide-range of students and be mutually beneficial for both college and elementary students.Service learning is one such instructional approach that allows college students to apply theory ina real-world context while benefitting the community and has been linked to improved academicclimate, conceptual understanding, and interest in engineering careers for college students(Hayford et al. 2014). Service learning has also been shown to be more attractive and beneficialto female and URM students in engineering (Duffy, Barrington, & Heredia Munoz, 2011;Carberry

management projects. She works extensively with food banks and food pantries on supply chain management and logistics focused initiatives. Her graduate and undergraduate students are integral part of her service-learning based logistics classes. She teaches courses in strategic relationships among industrial distributors and distribution logistics. Her recent research focuses on engineering education and learning sciences with a focus on how to engage students better to prepare their minds for the future. Her other research interests include empirical studies to assess impact of good supply chain practices such as coordinated decision making in stochastic supply chains, handling supply chains during times of crisis and
