to the project, students indicated more active participation, trying harder,expressing greater belief that the effort was worthwhile, and indicating greater belief that the timeused was beneficial. Students also indicated they enjoyed the opportunity to be creative andprototype in design projects. When incorporating service-based projects into first year engineeringprograms, we recommend utilizing a Design Thinking framework for project development, withas few design restrictions as possible, and providing students the opportunity to witness clientsusing their final designs.BackgroundMany engineering programs across the US have standardized their first-year engineeringcurriculum so that students in all disciplines learn the same skills

The growth of programs such as Purdue’s Engineering Projects in CommunityService (EPICs)7 and Engineers Without Borders (EWB)8, which also includes sustainability as acentral theme, is testament to the success of these approaches. However, the execution andassessment of real-world design projects within the academic constraints and framework remainsa substantial challenge9.
