With respect tomany of these desired aims, recent research has discovered and espoused the positive contributions of LearningThrough Service (LTS) in engineering education 5,6,9. This awareness has often come obliquely with some of themost engaging LTS opportunities originating outside formal academic learning (i.e., the classroom). For example,since 2002, students in more than half the nation’s engineering colleges have developed student chapters ofEngineers Without Borders-USA (EWB-USA) that serve developing communities through project work 8. There arefew, if any, other such dramatic and widespread movements within engineering education, yet, with such a rapidchange, a thorough understanding of best

In practice, however, poor project selection and poor conceptualdevelopment of service learning activities will negate any of the positive attributes listed above.In fact, the difficulty in creating meaningful service learning projects for the capstone designcourses has limited their use. Fewer than 30% of the 477 campuses that responded to the CampusCompact survey on service learning have used service learning projects as culminating designexperiences in all disciplines. The statistics for engineering disciplines is even lower. In light ofthe proposed “Body of Knowledge” for civil engineering

At the University of Michigan all incoming first-year students are required to take acourse, Engineering 100, “Introduction to Engineering,” that integrates many of these skills—design, communication, engineering science and teamwork—in the context of a semester-longproject. This course has several sections each semester, each with a different project focus. Somesections of this course go through a complete design/build/test cycle, while others, such as ours,focus more closely on the design process.Our section, Design: The Next Generation, focuses on the product design

In this paper, we explore the perception of agile’s effectiveness among a diverse group ofprofessionals with experience using these methodologies.To gauge attitudes toward agile, professionals in software development, project and productmanagement, and leadership roles were interviewed.
