in the literature require project teams to go into thecommunity and communicate frequently with the community partner. The project experience forEGN3000L was much more contained to the classroom. Students saw the value in the projectexperience and many of the traditional benefits to service learning in spite of the communitypartner’s involvement being limited. The experience, however, didn’t necessarily change thestudents’ personal values or convince them that they had meaningful community impact. Futurework would explore whether engineering-based service-learning courses should build moremeaningful relationships than the redesigned course. This may be dependent on courseoutcomes. The course evaluation showed that the class promoted

students are able to build their knowledge bases andskillsets. Yet additional analysis is necessary to evaluate students’ true perceptions of their first-year experiences. To address this knowledge gap, focus group interviews and surveys wereconducted to gather reflections and input from upper-level students. Outcomes from thesubsequent analysis are intended to provide deeper insight into the value that students place ontheir initial experiences with engineering at the college level, allowing educators to betterinvolve first-year students in class while at the same time prepare them for their chosenprofessional pathways. The following research questions drive this study:After experiencing higher-level engineering coursework . . . 1) What value
