Someof that literature focuses quite closely on mechanics related learning outcomes. Recent workusing controlled eye gaze experiments examined how students learn physics concepts fromworked examples[10], with the conclusions supporting the central tenets of both the workedexample effect (via cognitive load theory[11]) and effective multimedia design that leveragesspatial contiguity principles[12].

tomeasure attitudes and impressions about module content and delivery as well as attitudes towardengineering in general. We included a novel method for evaluating attitude by developing anadjective checklist that varied by gender (adjectives were masculine or feminine, negative,positive, or neutral). This was intended to gauge whether mechanical engineering, usuallyperceived to be masculine in nature, would gain a more gender-balanced image throughinnovative laboratory experiences. The second tool utilized conceptual questions (requiring noformal calculations) in a pretest-posttest format to determine whether students learned the lawsof thermodynamics. The third tool took the form of a behavioral rubric designed to assesswhether and how well

While service learning would provide the avenue forstudents to put into practice the knowledge gained in the classroom and laboratory, the learningcommunities would function in the capacity of facilitators and mentors by giving constantfeedback on students’ performance while engaged in service learning to enhance their leadershipskills.The integration of
