Professional Development – Student development in ethics, etiquette, interviewing, presentations, “dress for success”, and interpersonal skills is an integral part of the EPD sequence. Graduates of the program frequently refer to the positive impact the professional development activities had on their experiences as interns and ultimately in the careers. Citizen Development – Students learn that engineers are servants to society through presentations, reading activities, and a minimum of 70 of hours of community service that they complete while at Itasca. Examples of the activities include road-side clean- ups, recreational trail maintenance, local

However, since our CSLP programis integrated into our mandatory first-year curriculum, we can ensure that each student is giventhe opportunity to participate.Our program is part of the National EPICS program.

A shocking percentage of these students do not make it to their second yearwithin their chosen engineering discipline, either switching majors or leaving the universityentirely. Dr. Nathan Klingbeil of Wright State University first observed that, traditionally, only42% of engineering or computer science majors at Wright State advance beyond first-yearcalculus classes to seek their degrees 1.

ABET criteria. One of the main ABEToutcomes is to have engineering students communicate effectively. Being a brilliant andcreative engineer is just not enough, in today’s global world engineers need be able towork and communicate in diverse teams and should be able to influence and engagecoworkers in discussions and negotiations. Writing technical information appropriately tocommunicate with others is essential and needs to be developed in technical subjects withstudents who study engineering.

Engel focuses on three elements to encouragestudents to think and participate in transformative class discussions that include the following:1.The chance to think like an expert, 2. The chance to come up with new ideas, and 3. Thechance to be part of an intellectual group. In many ways these goals overlap with other findingsto improve STEM education and student retention.

Engineering Education, 2006 Learning through Service: Analysis of a First Semester, College-Wide, Service-Learning Course1. AbstractService-learning is a pedagogy which strives to integrate student learning with communityservice. In an engineering context, service-learning provides a project-based experience in whichstudents are confronted with real clients and problems, often of immediate need. In the context ofcourse development, however, many engineering faculty seem to feel that service learning isinfeasible in technical and/or large engineering courses, and that the overhead and opportunitycosts associated with service learning exceed the benefits received by students.This paper contemplates two years of service
