Our experience in service learning revealsthat service learning by its nature can provide authentic learning experience. * Authentic learning strategy invariably involves the learners in activities that deal with a real-life problem. * Service learning involves real people in real time, and therefore, it contains certain elements of drama and dilemma, just like in real world. * In service learning projects, content knowledge usually is embedded in the situation in which it is used. * In service learning, students are not usually given engineering specifications to start with (as opposed to class projects

Ken Ports Florida Institute of TechnologyAbstractThe Senior Design course taken near the end of an engineer’s undergraduate tenure isincreasingly recognized as a “capstone” activity, enabling these future professionals to applytheir collegiate education and experience in a team environment to solving real world problemsor to creating new capabilities. Ideally, Senior Design teams are also cross-functional, tobroaden the projects and better replicate the professional world.

In entrepreneurship and management, a program exists where teamsof between three and five undergraduate students develop business plans for ideas that areproposed to them by biomedical engineering students.

In response to recommendations from the program evaluators, efforts have been made to successfully integrate engineering design experiences throughout the four-year curriculum. Even those courses typically considered basic science or engineering science now contain problems, projects, and assignments which deal with elements of engineering design. As students acquire knowledge and skills in basic coursework, they are asked to incorporate engineering standards and realistic design considerations in increasingly advanced assignments.
