The goalwas to help students discover and gain confidence in individual attributes, skills, and beliefs thatare critical for engineering design. Those

Moreover, the integration ofinformation-based tools, such as, AutoCad, engineering graphics, digital drawings, and globalinformation systems (GIS) in civil engineering2 has not been fully considered as non-existenttraditional laboratories remain the focus of attention.To address some of these issues, a series of workshops and meetings were held in 2006 withthose who follow the Kabul University model with an attempt to modify the

Among respondents, nearly 40% of engineering colleges have servicelearning courses (Figure 1); most engineering faculty though admit to using an informaldefinition of service learning, so these courses may better be described as

Students of color andmore often African American college students at predominantly white institutions are oftenalready vulnerable to such negativism. Since study abroad is rarely required as part of theundergraduate curriculum, they are more likely to decline the opportunity even in the presence ofother incentives [11], [6].
