bearingeducational experience in which students (a) participate in an organized service activity thatmeets identified community needs, and (b) reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gainfurther understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and anenhanced sense of personal values and civic responsibility” (p. 112). Service-learning has beenadopted into higher education curricula for many of its proven benefits, including improvedstudent civic engagement [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], critical thinking [8], and interpersonal skillslike communication skills [9], [10] and collaboration skills [11], [12], [13].

what was going on and successfully completing the tasks. Also in Classroom A thelead teacher was not the only one leading the class; aids would also pitch in with instructions andguidance. Classroom B was presented information at a much faster pace. Students in the focusgroups noted the instructor talked fast, so students in that room were getting lost more frequentlyand relied heavily on the classroom aids to help them one on one. Classroom B had one extra pairof students so all aids couldn’t help everyone at the same time. We also noticed that Classroom Bwas louder than Classroom A as so many different side conversations were going on. Bothclassrooms were able to complete the given tasks, only one group struggled to finish their finalproject

previous papers [1], [7], we assessed our students’ self-efficacy with engineeringdesign and their perceived influence of service experiences on engineering learning objectivesvia two validated surveys [4], [5]. Since the fall of 2012, we have annually asked all students inthe GFU engineering program to complete the surveys in the first month of the fall semester.Response data is shown in Tables 1 and 2. Student responses were grouped by their year in theprogram relative to SE: a. 2 yrs before SE (typically Freshmen) b. 1 yr before SE (typically Sophomores) c. Just before SE (Juniors) d. Just after SE (Seniors) e. Within one month of GraduationFor both surveys, a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to determine

nearly 200 working definitions of service-learning, the definition offered by Bringle and Hatcher [2] is the most encompassing and widelyadopted. In this, service-learning is identified as a “course-based, credit bearing educationalexperience that allows students to (a) participate in an organized service activity that meetsidentified community needs and (b) reflect on the service active in such a way as to gain furtherunderstanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced senseof civic responsibility (p. 112).” Clearly, it is key that the service efforts with the partner bereciprocal and mutually valued, connected and committed to advancing the learning goals of thecourse, and include critical reflection
