Along with social entrepreneurship, they arewell regarded and supported by scholarly journals. They are also supported financially byfoundations and government agencies. This particular activity is supported by a KernEntrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN) grant from the Kern Family Foundation.This paper describes the relationships between service learning and social entrepreneurship in thecontext of engineering education. It then presents the anatomy of this particular venture usingthe latest models of social entrepreneurship research. The educational and pedagogical aspectsare then discussed
