engineering study means more than justattending classes or taking exams. The experiences also include meaningful community andsociety involvement and contributions.Impacts on college studentsService learning is a very good way to achieve several objectives for the education ofengineering students, including: 1) Ensure what the students learned are practical and realistic, applicable to the real world. 2) Guarantee that the students have in mind of serving the community when they are in school and keep that after they graduate. 3) Help the students to start to build good and sustainable community relationships while still in school. 4) Facilitate the students’ learning actively

Studentsacross racial/ethnic identities expressed that they like how diverse South University (pseudonym)is and how diversity is valued and celebrated at the university. For several students, this playedan important role in their college selection. A Mexican American male student shared, “I feelcomfortable knowing that as someone who is Hispanic that my culture is reflected in the valuesthat South University has. … I definitely feel at home here.
