Nor were the respondents likely to be academically precarious. Thestringent standards for continued enrollment in the engineering program might have put somestudents at risk for being asked to leave the program, but even in those cases, the student wouldtypically not be close to flunking out of college. These conditions of privilege are likely to havehad a significant effect on how these students chose to spend their time, as evinced by emergingstudies of the disproportionate effects of quarantine and other COVID-related conditions onwomen, adult students, LGBTQA+ students, and

Recently Eyler and Giles (1999) conducted a study of 1500 students from 20colleges/universities about the effect of service-learning. They found service-learning impactedpositively on tolerance, personal development, interpersonal development, community, andcollege connections. Students reported working harder, being more curious, connecting learningto personal experience, and demonstrated deeper understanding of subject matter. Service-learning is being integrated into some engineering courses, e.g., Purdue's EPICS program inElectrical Engineering (http://epics.ecn.purdue.edu/root.asp) has several

STEM related recruitersincreasingly seek graduates from higher education programs who have applied their academicknowledge to real-world scenarios. To meet these demands, academia must get closer toindustry and work directly with professional practitioners to fully understand their specific needsand to adjust curriculum and coursework accordingly.A novel approach to bridging the gap between academia and

Scientific approaches to the issue emerged as early as 1913 whenFrederick Taylor, a mechanical engineer, published The Principles of Scientific Management4.His work spawned techniques that used careful study and analysis of business and productionprocesses to determine the one “correct”, most efficient way to perform each component task sothat workers might be trained to standards of efficiency. More human-centered approaches to theissue arose from psychology (and related fields) that sought to support and motivate the workerto complete his/her expected tasks on time and within budget5-7. In the field of education,researchers have recognized the importance of relationships
