The technique can also be implemented in undergraduate researchexperiments where latent factors, present in simulated data, may be detected as part of a discoveryexperience. The example presented here uses the accelerations and weights of two masses inmotion to illustrate the method. The learning objectives include the understanding of methodsinvolving regression in contrast to those based on covariance, the numeric computation of pertinentcoefficients, the exclusion of proposed causative models with

. Typically, the objective is to design a device or process that has value to acustomer (user). The project begins by defining a performance problem associated with anapplication and ends with a design solution. The problem drives the learning required tocomplete the project. Managing the project requires the engineer to demonstrate effectiveteamwork, clear communication and the ability to balance the social, economic andenvironmental impacts of the project.” This description provides us with a good sense ofthe attributes of a project or students’ performance that need to be assessed. Based on the foregoing, it would be important to bear in mind that in any PrBLbased course, professors are mostly trying to assess learning in a practice-based

However, one of the earlier definitions is still widely accepted andcomprehensive: Service-learning is “a course based, credit-bearing, educational experience inwhich students (a) participate in an organized service activity that meets identified communityneeds and (b) reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding ofcourse content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of civicresponsibility." (Bringle & Hatcher, 1995). Key elements of service-learning that appear to beimportant to researchers and practitioners include: projects or placements that meet academicobjectives in a credit-bearing course, the meeting of real community needs, analysis or reflectionon the part of students to

Theeasiest place to begin is with the domain – because the focus of one’s CoP should bealigned with the domain that is at the heart of one’s project. In PEPS, the domain iscareer decision-making in engineering students. One must also determine what group ofpeople one’s project is hoping to influence. The answer to that question will provide aguide to locating potential members of the community. In PEPS, our focus is people whoinfluence engineering students’ career decisions – academic advisors and career centerpersonnel. Finally, one must consider the practice one wishes to impact.
