IntroductionIn the last decade, there has been a significant increase of the number of community engagementprograms and a growth in research on these programs. As a result of this upsurge, newpublication venues have also been established, including the International Journal of ServiceLearning in Engineering (IJSLE) founded in 20041, and the new ASEE Community Engagementdivision founded in 2013.2 Related research has primarily focused on students, with particularemphasis on knowledge and skills; attitudes and identities; recruitment, retention, and diversity;and professional

mechatronics program at ourinstitution has experienced a steady growth trying to meet this need. However, the curricularchanges that follow these fast-paced technologies are often difficult to implement in theclassroom in a timely manner. Often, new products become available but without appropriatedocumentation for quick implementation in educational laboratories. It may take a year or longerto develop a set of laboratory exercises for a new microcontroller or a 3D printer. Thus, theknowledge must come from other informal sources, like workshops, technical presentations,conferences, etc. Students are taught to embrace change and keep current. This is in accordancewith ABET EAC General Criterion 3, Student Outcomes1 (i) “a recognition of the need for

Similarly, there wasgreat variability in the extant to which engineering education concepts and curriculumswere described in the studies I reviewed. It would be difficult to offer broad implicationsabout BLEE as a practice because no scholarly community had set a norm about how todescribe the process (or what even technically constitutes BLEE).Implications from mapping the discourseThe identification of a large multi-disciplinary network within the scholarly discourse onBLEE suggests a relatively healthy area of study, drawing from a variety of disciplinesand applied

initially need a lot of help with Step 1. Step 2 is not difficult, but studentsneed to be encouraged to not go with the first idea. This seems to be best developed in studentteams. That is, it is easier for several students to come up with alternate plans than one studentworking on his or her own. Students generally have little trouble with Step 3, but often forgetStep 4. In instructional settings, this step is important because each problem will contain at leastone lesson. Doing the work, but not identifying the points to be learned is simply a waste of time.Another important aspect of Step 4 is checking the reasonableness of the answer. Finally,developing the habit of carrying out Step 4 is beneficial in an engineer’s career because it assiststhe

seen in Table 1, there wasn’t a statistically significant difference between the twogroups in 2012 suggesting that the UTAs didn’t have a negative impact in the course. The storyis much different in 2013 as there is a significant difference between the two groups where thosewho attended at least half of the SI sessions (80% of students) outscored their counterparts by 13points on a 150 point exam (P value of 0.0265 in an unpaired t-Test). At this time, it is unclearas to why there was a drop-off in final exam scores between 2012 and 2013, but work iscurrently being done to examine the students in each of the years more closely based on gradesin the pre-requisite course (General Chemistry 2) and time between the two courses.

The Great Recession seems to haveaccelerated this tendency.

Whiletechnical communication is an option for this elective, so are courses in fairy-tale literature or thewritings of various ethnicities. Thus, students are not explicitly required to take a course intechnical communication, but rather expected to gain these skills needed for their professionalcareers through other coursework and external experiences. Other departments at the sameinstitution offer discipline-specific courses in technical communication, and informalobservations of the communication skills of senior-level students have suggested that ourdepartment may benefit from such a course.
