addition to “traditional” engineering knowledge of mathematics, science,engineering and experience in engineering problem solving and system design, students aremandated to be able to function on multidisciplinary teams, to communicate effectively, and tounderstand a wide range of issues in engineering. These issues include: professional and ethicalresponsibility, the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context, andknowledge of contemporary issues. While recognizing the importance of these issues within theengineering curriculum, many departments find it difficult to effectively integrate experiencesthat include the full spectrum of professional or “soft” skills that simulate current industrialpractices8.

The survey items would be composed of definitions and general Proceedings of the 2005 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright ©2005, American Society for Engineering Educationstatements concerning what students should be able to know and do. It would not be necessaryto create rubrics with scoring levels, which is time-consuming, complex, and difficult to validate.The methodology is best suited for investigating student ability to engage and apply steps withina process.

women.A5. Students learned how to work in a communal environment. and A6. Students learned how tomanage their time. While much of the data described has shown how service-learning can fulfill ABETcriteria. These two assertions with the data that follows can be correlated with the currentreforms of the engineering educational models. Models directed by the "Engineering Criteria2000" to give the engineering skills that engineering students will need when they enter theworkplace and or to help give them a full spectrum of professional, or "soft" skills that willstimulate current industrial practices (Hughes 2001). In the workplace students have to be able tofunction in a timely manner and not only function in multidisciplinary teams on many
