Quantitative deliverables were presented to the community partners.Positive feedback from the students was received.IntroductionService learning (S-L) provides 1) learning for the student and 2) service to the community. TheS-L approach motivates students to work harder, be more curious, connect learning to personalexperience, and demonstrate deeper understanding of subject matter [1].The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) has a relatively new set ofcriteria for engineering programs. In addition to achieving the more traditional technicalobjectives, these criteria require that graduates demonstrate: • an ability to

The three pillars of sustainable development are social development,economic development and environmental restoration. A major challenge to this integration isadding to the workload of the existing curriculum. In some cases, introducing the new conceptsrequires the loss of essential course material. Consequently, many civil engineering departmentshave successfully integrated sustainable design principles through course modules, and projectbased learning3.

Consequently, the micro fabrication technology enables fabrication oflarge arrays of devices, which individually perform simple tasks, but in combination canaccomplish complicated functions1.

of Ethics, it is clearthat the Code highly reflects deontological theory; i.e., it consists of a series of doctrines thatengineers must follow, with intrinsic morality tied to each behavior. In other words, the Code ofEthics can be seen as a reflection of an engineer’s duty to society.A difference from this dominate theoretical approach can be seen to emerge in the review of 108articles and conference papers on macroethical education in engineering. Articles were reviewedand sorted based on the three main “families” of ethical theory: utilitarianism, deontology, andvirtue ethics. This review showed that explicit reference to these three families of theoryoccurred in 41 of the 108 articles reviewed – 14 predominately noted utilitarianism
