American Society for Engineering Education, 2015Engineering Your Community: Experiences of Students in a Service-Learning Engineering Design CourseAbstract:One of the significant issues facing engineering over the past several decades has been therecruitment and retention of students, particularly minority and female students. One methodthat has proven fruitful in attracting these groups is to utilize a service-learning approach to showthe applicability of course content and the ways that it can positively affect others. Manyprograms, such as Engineers Without Borders, target service opportunities for engineers in adeveloping country and typically attract a higher percentage of female and minority participantsthan the national

The Office of K-12 Outreach inthe College of Engineering at OSU frequently gets requests for engineering faculty to speak toK-12 groups and at STEM engagements on engineering careers. However, while valuable,faculty perspectives tend to be representative of experiences in, and of academia, which is asmall sector of practicing engineers. In addition, because of the requirement of advanceddegrees to be a university professor, most engineering faculty are considerably removed in agefrom K-12 students. For these reasons, faculty are, at best, incomplete engineering careerambassadors.Central to career ambassadorship is

The specific focus of the mentorship is on student-studentrelationships in addition to the conventional faculty-student relationships. These relationshipsallow students to learn from each other since they are able to strongly relate to each other’sexperiences among their peer group.
