The experiences also include meaningful community andsociety involvement and contributions.Impacts on college studentsService learning is a very good way to achieve several objectives for the education ofengineering students, including: 1) Ensure what the students learned are practical and realistic, applicable to the real world. 2) Guarantee that the students have in mind of serving the community when they are in school and keep that after they graduate. 3) Help the students to start to build good and sustainable community relationships while still in school. 4) Facilitate the students’ learning actively

all have experience with cohorts with differenttemperaments: sometimes a cohort of students assumes a critical identity, showing dissatisfactionwith many aspects of a program, even though the program itself has not changed; sometimes acohort shows gender tensions which persist throughout their tenure in the program. Finally,previous research has shown that both men and women vary in their engineering orientations byengineering discipline. They vary in their perceived strengths in engineering, which is related totheir satisfaction with engineering as a suitable fit for them; students in some majors emphasizethe monetary rewards that will come when they graduate, while others place more importance ontheir contribution to the societal good.
