By presenting and publishing this paper,the authors hope to learn from similar programs in practice, share our experiences, and perhapsinspire others to try such ventures.Literature reviewMany construction educators understand that learning through service can be very effective,providing students with opportunities to practice professional and independent learning skills inthe context of “real world” problems which they all seem to enjoy. According to Scott Stanfordet al. [1], service learning is one of the four emerging trends in engineering capstone courses,along with technology, multidisciplinary projects

There is a large increase from the second to third year, with smaller increases fromthe first to second and third to fourth years. While ​there are likely many reasons for that shift,there was a consistent trend in the associated qualitative feedback of students indicating that theirinterest increased as they started to see a clearer connection between what they were learning andthe kinds of work they were likely to encounter as practicing engineers.Figure 1: Senior Survey Reporting of

promising indications these techniques were positively perceived bythe students.1. Introduction: Literature Review and Instructor BackgroundThe benefits and effectiveness of active learning for student problem solving, conceptual gains,exam scores, and engagement are well established [1]–[5]. Active learning is defined as in-classwork by students that goes beyond simply listening to the instructor and taking notes [6]. Despitethe known benefits of active learning, lecture-based teaching in STEM is still the prevalentapproach, with active learning in general propagating at a slow rate [5], [7], [8]. For example, inelectrical and computer engineering (ECE) departments, where the courses in the present paperare housed, a survey of U.S. faculty

The7E plan consists of 7 sequential stages in teaching and learning that are elicit, engage, explore,explain, elaborate, evaluate, and extend [3]. The 7E model is often used as a conceptual changemodel. This model seems to be a complete and comprehensive teaching tool that initiates witheliciting the interests of the learners and ends up at the future extension of the concepts, and thestages can also be repeated in cyclic order. Within its levels, instructors can work from elicitingdissatisfaction at the beginning to having students extend their new understanding to ensure themisunderstanding has been
