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

concentration.In the fall semester of 2016, we heard a “call” from the community of Mount Vernon, Ohio. Itwas a need expressed to us - the Ariel Foundation Park Learning Trails project needed help fromour engineering students to conduct a study of the history of a century-old bridge and createeducational materials for the community. 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. Along the process they learned what they neededto learn - the CAE tool. It was a win-win situation. In the following sections, we will

The students presented theirideas during the last week of class to members of both the campus and public officials. Thefifteen week semester did not allow for some of their revisions to be incorporated; nor were anyof the students able to volunteer their time during the summer. Nevertheless, continuedinvolvement with the community will resume during the 2018 spring semester when the courseis, once again, offered. At that time, the entrepreneurial center will have officially opened forbusiness, which could allow for some measurement of success to be evaluated.BackgroundSUST 200, Foundations of

Many of theseschools participate in robotics competitions for novice students to be able to learn scientific andengineering principles through hands-on activity. However, at the high school level there is lackof team mentors to assist those youth with their various projects. Prior to development of thiscourse, Fairfield University had received frequent requests to recruit college students to serve asmentors for those programs.
