/ environmental engineering as his academic program and field of study, as a way to grow within my al- ready existing career field. For the past six years, he has worked in the civil engineering profession as a Designer/Draftsman. He has worked closely with civil, environmental, and structural engineers on a daily basis; for him, becoming a Civil Engineer was his next logical career progression. Over the past few years, he has come to realize that he is limiting his potential by remaining a simple Draftsman. He has slowly, over time, developed his mind to work in a critical thinking environment, much like a Civil Engineer must do every day. He has become familiar with civil engineering, and engineering in gen- eral

Project-basedservice learning (PBSL) programs are defying most engineering education trends by exhibitingexplosive involvement, diversity, and excitement for the profession.Yet, these project-based service learning opportunities are complicated by their rapid grassrootsdevelopment; much of the findings today on their impacts are anecdotal and qualitative.

The trip taken by the groupto Peru, discussed more below, also played an important factor in the retention of some of thestudents as engineers, because it shed light on the way engineers can positively affect acommunity in need.Academically, the PreF program hosted at Penn State the summer before the students’ freshmanyear had the most significant impact on them.

Students’ scores taken after thesimulations were nearly always 4 or 5 out of a 5-point scale. For instance, Ben rated himself a5 out of 5 in his level of global competence.
