We conclude from our early data that students who are able (given sufficientresources) to fully participate in these type of projects do see positive benefits. However, barriersmay prevent all students from having this opportunity. Further, the nature of student servicelearning projects inherently creates challenges for the communities that partner on these projects.Ongoing revisions to the Engineers Without Borders USA
