. Jacoby conciselydescribes service learning as “a form of experiential education in which students engage inactivities that address human and community needs together with structured opportunitiesintentionally designed to promote student learning and development” [1].The main components of community engaged learning are service, academic content, partnershipand reciprocity, and finally, analysis or reflection [2]. The service should provide support andsolutions for overcoming a community identified need, while also deepening students learning ofengineering concepts. The community engagement work provides an opportunity for students toapply their classroom learning in a real world setting, with the intention of enriching theirunderstanding of

Learningstyles according to Felder and Silverman [8] are preferences in the way one learns that can bedefined in four dimensions: Active-Reflective, Sensing-Intuitive, Visual-Verbal and Sequential-Global. Some research suggests that a good way to understand differences in individuals to supportclassroom learning is through the understanding of each person’s learning style [9]. It is noted thatlearning styles are not necessarily the only way that students can learn, but suggest theirpreferences in learning. Research also suggests that if the teaching style of teachers and learningstyles of students match, learning can best be achieved [10]. Among literature on

Bringle andHatcher [2] describe SL as an educational experience where students participate in and reflect on activitiesthat meet identified community needs and further understand academic concepts and the broader 1context of the overall discipline. CEL provides a way for students to reflect on their experiences andinternalize them. In addition, having that practical experience helps students develop essential skills likecritical thinking and interpersonal communication [3]. Students enter higher education settings every yearto

Themes that emerged during thequalitative analysis of the reflections were noted and the frequencies at which they appearedwere counted and tabulated.In the paper, the course and the activity will be described.
