content.”2In terms of service learning in higher education, Bringle and Hatcher suggest that it is “a credit-bearing educational experience in which students participate in an organized service activity thatmeets identified community needs and 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 civic responsibility.”3 According to the National Service-LearningClearinghouse, during the 1999-2000 academic years at least 712,000 students on 349 campuseshad participated in some form of service. Similarly, since the 1990s, service learning has beengaining acceptance as an instructional tool in engineering education.4

However, rather than relying exclusively on establishedtheoretical frameworks we made use of grounded theory methods [3] to elicit, through ourinterviews, a wide range of comments about more ordinary, local, and diffuse processes that canbe found within the general arena of engineering education reform.
