engineerAbstractIn the fall of 2004 a college with five undergraduate academic programs decided to integrateservice-learning (S-L) projects into required engineering courses throughout the curriculum sothat students would be exposed to S-L in at least one course in each of eight semesters. Theultimate goal is to graduate better engineers and better citizens. Four of the degree programshave achieved on average one course each semester, with an actual coverage of 103 out of 128semester courses, or 80% coverage over the four years. Of the 32 required courses in theacademic year that had an average of 753 students each semester doing S-L projects related tothe subject matter of the course, 19 of the courses (60%) were considered engineering science,that is, not

EnvE sub-discipline areas, state their own area(s) ofgreatest interest, and identify an employer in this area and a project they have worked on usingthe Web as a resource. Students could use the BOK to help them define EnvE and answer otherquestions on this assignment. Later in Homework 4 the students plot out a course plan tograduation that meets the requirements for the EnvE B.S. degree at the University of Colorado atBoulder. The student then mapped these courses in their 4-year EnvE degree plan onto theABET criteria for engineering and program-specific criteria for EVEN.

“The practice of gaining supervised practical experience is nothing new” [1]. Internshipsas part of a formal education program can trace its roots back to the Middle Ages where it wascommon practice to learn a trade under the direct supervision of a master craftsman. Apprenticesoften had to agree to “pay back” their employer by agreeing to work for a certain period of timeonce they were considered fully trained. In the early days, most, if not all of the training wasdone on the job, with little formal theoretical education. By the early 1900’s, experiential learning had established itself at institutions of highereducation in several fields. The clinical training programs for medical students were recognizedas a key component in
