Engineering Education, 2018 Occupational Therapy Boards Identifying the Value of a High-Impact Service-Learning ProjectAbstractDeveloping students’ appreciation for the societal benefits of engineering is one of the key tenetsof EPICS (Engineering Projects In Community Service), a service-learning program. Inachieving this goal, it is important that students see the direct application of the knowledge andskills they have acquired as engineering students. When students are able to engage in a fullstart-to-finish design process within a team and, importantly, along with a genuine client, theyhave greater potential to appreciate the social responsibility aspect of professional engineering.A unique EPICS experience is under

These efforts draw the young and the diverse into seeingengineering as a worthwhile profession. One such effort at the national level in the U.S. is the“National Engineers Week”. This is a week-long celebration held every February that consists ofnumerous events and activities organized for the general public with a focus towards students,women, and under-represented groups. In this paper, we examined this effort through the

. Further, this form of community-engaged learningoffers an authentic setting to develop many of the integrated student outcomes stated in the newengineering accreditation criteria. We contend that effective transdisciplinary learning is a meansto the oft-stated goal of systemic transformation in engineering education, particularly forsustainability aims. However, this complex, dynamic systems view of engineeringeducation represents a radical departure from education-as-usual and thus requires a similarlyradical departure from research- and assessment- -as-usual. It reflects a shift in the unit ofanalysis: from a singular focus on student learning outcomes to a broader view that captureslearning at the transdisciplinary system level. It also

suggested that engaging in PBL is associated with engineering students’ epistemologicaldevelopment toward advanced level of thinking [5]. Hmelo et al (1997) also suggested that throughthe teachers’ meaningful guidance in the process of students’ problem-solving, students can betterdevelop higher order thinking skills. Nevertheless, it remains unclear how students’ personalepistemology was impacted via PBL [6].In this research, we set out to understand the impact of PBL on engineering students’ personalepistemology in the context of Perry's theory, which depicts students’ epistemologicaldevelopment from dualistic thinking to a contextual, constructive manner of thinking in four stages,that is, Dualism, Multiplicity, Relativism and Commitment (within

These types of programs havebeen implemented at other universities [2-5]. Through these relationships, students gain a deeperunderstanding of the principles of robotics from the classroom, through teaching those principlesto others and helping their mentored team solve problems.

The team effort of these officers canmake a substantial impact on the support and the perception of engineering students at a schooland within the surrounding community. However, many groups struggle for much of the firstsemester each year to organize themselves and get activities up and off the ground because theproverbial baton has been dropped. Because the duties are generally the same for each officerfrom year to year, to ensure a smooth transition, it makes sense to establish a system for trainingthe incoming officers before they officially take office.This paper
