Community Engagement Division

?AbstractService-learning (S-L) has been integrated into an average of 30 engineering courses every yearsince 2004 in five undergraduate departments. Forty-three faculty members have tried S-L, overhalf the engineering faculty. In 2010-2011, 1267 students (out of an enrollment of 1600) engagedin S-L projects in 33 courses contributing an estimated 49,500 hours to the community. Thisapproach to trying to develop better engineers and more engaged citizens was motivated by thegrowing body of research showing widespread benefits of S-L, the meeting of academicobjectives through addressing real community needs in credit-bearing courses. But what do thestudents who are part of this program think about S-L? In this study surveys of student viewswere collected

some withdrawal from an area where aquifersconstitute a major portion of water supply for other purposes. Likewise, injection of an oxidantwith the leach solution causes valence and phase changes of indigenous elements such as As, Cu,Mo, Se, S, and V, as well as U, thereby increasing the aqueous concentrations of these species aswell. A question of major concern at ISR mining sites is how to restore the groundwater to itsoriginal chemical composition. Restoration is necessary to reduce the amounts of undesiredchemical constituents left in solution after mining operations and thus to return the groundwaterto a quality consistent with pre-mining use and potential use. One promising approach torestoring groundwater quality at ISR sites is to

developments in the study of philosophy, engineering and engineering educationThe last decade has been marked by an increasing interest among engineers and engineeringeducators in the philosophy of engineering education. In 2003 there were two major publicationsconcerned with this matter. First, Billy Koen‟s “Discussion of the Method: Conducting theEngineer‟s Approach to Problem Solving” rooted in the use of heuristics that he claimed to beuniversal [1]. Second, Louis Bucciarelli explored the connections between philosophy andengineering especially engineering design, in a book with the formidable title of “EngineeringPhilosophy” [2]. A year later, Goldman argued the case for a philosophy of engineering asopposed to a philosophy of science [3]. A

fostered a significant conceptual change in relevant physics content areas.It must be pointed out that nearly all exiting physics education efforts (such as the publishedliterature 7-12) focus on improving students’ understanding of individual concepts, but notconcept pairs. A concept pair is a pair of physics concepts that are fundamentally different butclosely related. For example, linear acceleration and angular acceleration is a concept pair.Linear acceleration, in the units of m/s2, is used to quantify the change of linear velocity (m/s)with time. Angular acceleration, in the units of rad/s2, is used to quantify the change of angularvelocity (rad/s) with time. There exists a quantitative mathematical relationship between linear(tangential

Such higher-level thinking involves analyzing, evaluating, andcreating (the topmost three levels of thinking in Bloom‟s Taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain revisedby Anderson in 2001). Several researchers in the late 1990s into the 2000s have shown thatprocessing new information using these thinking skills increases students‟ information retention. Inaddition, thinking critically helps prepare students to become successful global citizens because theycan make the decisions and solve the problems of modern life more astutely, having both theknowledge retained and the thinking skills developed

During that semester, we taught two infrastructure-related courses. The first course,called “Introduction to Infrastructure Engineering” (I2I), was taken by civil and environmentalengineering students. The second course, “Infrastructure and Society” (I&S), was
