Carolina Commission onHigher Education defines service learning as follows: Service learning is college student learning at any level and in any situation that is linked in a direct, hands-on fashion to the resolution of a problem or concern in a target community outside the institution.During this trip, the students of the University of South Carolina fulfilled this definition throughthe use of their hands and their hearts to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coastregion. With the aid and logistical support of the Salvation Army, this project was a true servicelearning collaboration with a non-profit organization and a major research university.

program at Rowan Universityoffers many opportunities to study how other programs prepare engineering students and torevise and adopt the best practices of these programs. Two faculty members developed thecapstone design course following a review of capstone courses offered by other programs. Theyalso drew on their own previous experiences with similar courses and their experiences inindustry. The Civil Engineering Design Project is the culminating design experience for thegraduating seniors. The Design Project is a sequence of two 2-credit hour courses during thesenior year. The senior civil and environmental engineering students work in teams of 4 or 5students to solve an open-ended design project. Local engineering firms provide the projects
provide theconnection to the assessment of student learning. Student learning can only be measured whenlearning outcomes are identified, and demonstrable results are obtained that show whetherstudents have achieved the skills and knowledge specified by the learning outcomes. Thesemeasures should be meaningful to the instructor, reliable and valid, and assess observablebehaviors of students. These learning outcomes are for skills and knowledge students should beacquiring from the learning experiences in the course. Whereas the learning outcomes aredefined for the concepts students are studying in the course, there is also a “course outcome” foreach of the units in the course. That is, one or more learning outcomes would be part of a groupwithin a

Some studies have shown that clicker utilization is associatedwith better instructor reviews and that large freshman orientation classes’ student retentionimproves.Surveying two classes with undergraduate and graduate students found that over 80% of bothsets of students found the clickers beneficial36. Undergraduate students reported the biggestadvantage of using the clickers was in learning from mistakes (40.4%), helping them to stay Page 22.1527.5focused on the class (29.8%), and previewing calculations for homework (29.8%).
