The potential benefits of service learning have motivated theDepartment of Freshman Engineering at Purdue to begin implementing service learning into thefirst-year engineering courses. 143 students participated in an service-learning experience atPurdue University in the Fall semester of 2003. Student and community partner evaluationshave shown initial success and in depth investigations are underway to characterize theseexperiences.Introduction Over the past ten years, engineering has been undergoing a reform of its educational models.We have seen a significant increase in emphasis on design

[1,2,3,4] This “autonomous” model has gradually given way to a more “social” model of literacythat takes into account the context in which a literacy practice takes place, and the effects that setting may have onhow literacy is conceived and enacted.[5,6,7,8,9] One of these new literacies, Academic Literacy, indicates a fluencynot only in reading and writing, but also in particular ways of thinking, doing and being that are peculiar toacademic contexts such as undergraduate engineering education.

Engineering Provides an Ideal Setting to Emphasize Design and Integrate STEMConceptsThe implementation of engineering and technology into schooling has a long history startingwith the formation of the American Industrial Arts in 1939, which later evolved into theInternational Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA [5]). Although theITEEA has been developing engineering and technology curricula since the 1960s, the formalstandards for technological literacy were launched only in 2000. Since then the K-12 curriculumhas been based on these standards, plus the national standards for math and science, CommonCore, and NAE’s grand challenges for engineering [6]. We

These biases, whether conscious or unconscious, haveresulted in technologies that have been particularly harmful for marginalized populations. Oneway to mitigate these biases is to incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principlesinto engineering education, specifically within the domain of systems engineering and relatedfields that focus on designing systems for humans.

The graduatesshould realize that a good portion of the engineering skills is dedicated to actually formulatingthe problem and asking the right questions, in addition to trying to find a solution. Today'sindustry demands a production-ready graduate, rather than a graduate who will still need somefurther training2.

We focus on opportunities both within and outside the curriculumspanning the 4 undergraduate years: in building community during the freshman year, and inbuilding commitment to engineering by focusing on community projects during the sophomore,junior, and senior years. At this point, we have implemented our junior and senior programs. Thebasic process starts with a 1-day "innovation workshop" led by facilitators from the Institute forWomen and Technology.

IntroductionMost new engineering faculty are expected to teach undergraduate and/or graduate classes fromthe first day on their appointment. The majority, however, have had almost no training orguidance about how to teach effectively, or how to assess that effectiveness.
