course.Research Question and PurposeThe aim of this paper is to explore the continued practice of service-learning as an effectiveteaching method within an engineering curriculum at a public research institution of highereducation with a mission committed to excellence in teaching, research and communitypartnerships. While some faculty members continue to integrate service-learning in theirteaching, others have discontinued its use. Most studies on faculty involvement with service-learning have focused on factors that influence whether or not faculty adopt service-learningpedagogy, and no study has investigated factors for discontinuing the use of service-learning inengineering. This study examines the motivation for faculty involvement in service

These include: CE 3070“Urban and Environmental Planning”, CE 3074 “Environmental Analysis”, CE 4061“Hydrology” and CE 4071 “Land Use Development and Controls”. WPI’s undergraduatecourses are offered in seven-week terms per academic year, with students enrolling in 3 coursesin each term. The time constraints in the rigorous schedule further complicate the ability toutilize and teach software within the existing curriculum. Consequently, an integrated approachwas used to incorporate GIS into all of these courses. Technical considerations included the timerequired to obtain (clip) data

IntroductionCSR is a controversial concept, and interpretations of CSR are deeply informed by one’spersonal and political views [5]. Proponents of CSR, for example, view it as a vehicle fortransforming businesses to create shared economic, social and environmental value forthemselves and their stakeholders. In contrast, some skeptics from inside of the business worldview CSR as an intrusion on free market principles (see [6] for an early and famous example).And critics of capitalism in general argue that CSR allows corporations to capture and reframesocial problems “in such a way as to align with the agendas of

Theuniversity currently has a ~1.2 MW photovoltaic (PV) solar system that provides ~7% of theenergy consumed on campus. While a good start, this contribution is low considering theuniversity’s location in Southern California; there is an opportunity to greatly increase campusreliance on solar energy, and the university has committed to reaching carbon neutrality by 2035.The course was
