Pioneering research by Light (Light, 2004) has also shown that the amount ofwriting in a course is more strongly linked to increased student engagement than any othercourse characteristic. So apart from the obvious practical importance that engineers should beable to write well, there is also substantial learning that takes place through the process ofthinking and planning that is required for good writing. The learning associated with writing issimilar to the learning associated with teaching, as both involve the organized communication of Page

The service must be intentional and appropriately developed, i.e., it is grounded in the needs of the community and developed jointly by all stakeholders, most specifically the learners and the affected community. 3. The learning is the primary goal in carrying out the project and is enhanced by the service nature of the effort. Therefore, the learning must be planned and assessed, especially through the use of structured, critical reflection.As a
