A surveywas distributed to engineering colleges throughout the US to discover how widespread service-learning and community-based projects are in engineering.IntroductionIn our collective experience, the mention of the term “service-learning” to engineering educatorsgenerally evokes one of three typical responses. The most common response is: "What isservice-learning anyway?" The next most typical is exemplified by the remark: "We do thatalready." The third is typified by: "We have no room in our curriculum to add anything moregiven all that ABET requires." The aim of this paper is to address these

diversity may negatively impact team performance, forexample, in the case when students at the two extremes of academic performance are placed onthe same team. This finding is consistent with those described by Borrego et al. where theyobserve that academically unbalanced teams may be at greater risk of team dysfunctions, such as“social loafing” and other behaviors that can lead to conflict [5].Our experience with assessment processes, coupled with the methodology used to match studentsto projects provides insight into the likely success level for students entering capstone. Weassign students to teams based upon factors that we believe promote the overall likelihood ofproject success. These factors include a mix of intellectual capability, past
