Students who were accepted, would be a part of a cohort of students who met witha lead instructor weekly, with the program being run as a 1-credit course. Additional instructorsfrom the student life side were also available to help facilitate activities, and connect students toco-curricular and extra-curricular aspects of college life. The present paper will describe some ofthe programming and assignments of this pilot program, and discuss some of the relatedstrengths, weaknesses, challenges, and successes.

In engineering programs specifically, service-learning has been pursued in many different ways; many of these are described in a paper fromMichigan Technological University [3]. This paper has looked closely at learning throughservice versus service learning, along with both courses and extracurricular programs such asEngineers without Borders. All the aforementioned programs provide students with learning andservice experiences in different ways.

Other students did not see connections between global issues and theirlives. Common examples were: Only about 2 or 3 students gave presentations having to with engineering issues in history so I didn't really learn much. Again, people chose issues in foreign countries, not many any relation to me. Not to[sic] many local presentations.
