The objective of this study is to assess student learning as a result of service learningpedagogy implemented in a Geotechnical Engineering laboratory course. This paper provides asummary of the case study assignment, motivation for the project, student-learning activities,assessments of student educational outcomes, conclusions and suggestions for future research.Case Study-Service Learning and Community Engagement at The CitadelDuring the spring of 2019, a community service-learning project was incorporated into threesections of a senior-level Geotechnical

forty hours a week across two summermonths conducting both field and laboratory research at the university with a focus on environmental sciencesand engineering. Paired with graduate students and professors, the freshman-level interns have practicedgraduate-level research including on-site research at several local wetlands. Various projects have beenundertaken, ranging from ecological studies on topics including potentially harmful vectors like mosquitoes andecologically critical and valuable pollinators like bees, vertebrate presence and habitat selection, andenvironmental water quality and its impact on both aquatic invertebrate and plant community dynamics.Through our summer bridge program, we have created a pyramid-like synergistic effect

The new projects could fully integrate research and practice, beginning with the initial phase ofproject development, and could be conceptualized as living laboratories that provide opportunities forboth researchers and practitioners (NRC, 2011, p.107).”The CRC will provide the opportunity to add to the literature concerning private and publiccollaborations about fragile communities of color and those that are socially vulnerable. How do privateand public organizations support, prepare and plan in these communities? Often underservedcommunities do not trust governmental agencies due to past social injustices, continuous inequalities,fear of governmental control, and deportation. Emergency preparedness is

engineering laboratories in the thirdyear. The final year consists of traditional capstone design projects, similar to those at mostaccredited programs.As noted in the previous section, retention can be improved by many different factors. One ofthe results of having a project course with professional skills every semester during the entiredegree program is that as students work in teams and present so that they get to know each otherwell and develop a community. As already noted, a community aids in student retentionthroughout the entire four-year sequence [4]. Particularly in the second year, more benefit isgained when a focus is placed on directing students toward their future careers and providingmentorship to aid their motivation to continue in

theinfrastructure support that can be offered to the students. At CU Boulder, students have access tostaff and facilities (as described above in Course Execution). These facilities help improve thequality of the final product, and provide the opportunity for students to work on projects outside ofscheduled laboratory time. Students self report working an average of 10-12 hours/week based onFaculty Course Questionnaires, with only 5 hours/week being contact hours with the instructor.Because the students turn over their projects to clients, a certain level of project quality andprofessionalism is required. This makes the course ideal for students who have already completed afirst-year projects course or transfer students who are further along in their
