Introduction: Challenges of the Freshman YearThe self-examination urged on us by the expectations of Engineering Criteria 2000 made it clearthat the Vanderbilt University School of Engineering, like many of our counterparts elsewhere,faces challenges in the engineering freshman year. Our objectives for the freshman year -- (1) toillustrate the practice of engineering as an iterative process of synthesis and analysis, (2) to helpthe student make career choices, (3) to provide tools prerequisite to further study, (4) to developlearning skills, (5) to illustrate the role of ethics in the professional practice of engineering, (6) todevelop teamwork skills

Faculty who teach service-learning courses havefound that extending the boundaries of the classroom into the community benefits theirstudents’ learning in many ways. Students understand and synthesize the subject matterthrough a broader range of experiences and associations; gain an understanding andappreciation of the community and its people with diverse background and life situations;explore an area of study or a career option; critically reflect on their values and responsibilitiesas citizen; and gain a belief that through their actions they can make a difference 1,4,5.In service-learning

Butseen from the inside, U.S. engineering education appears to have significant problems –such as declining enrollments, and the utilization of its graduates as a ‘commodity’ byemployers. It also appears that new quasi-engineering academic programs have opened orare being developed to allow students to take more palatable paths to entry to lucrativetechnology careers.
