Background LiteratureService Learning and Service-Oriented Projects. Service learning as defined by the NationalService Learning Clearinghouse15 is “a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningfulcommunity service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civicresponsibility, and strengthen communities.” Building from this definition, we can identifyspecific elements of service learning which are identified in the book Service Learning:Engineering in your Community9 as possessing the following elements related to engineering: • Service: Service to an underserved area or people. This can be direct, and ongoing, or project-based, involve hands-on aspects or research and analysis. • Academic

. Addressing this problem requires a paradigm shiftin teaching methods, from a paradigm of “teaching by telling” to one that more directly engages studentsat a conceptual level and lets them actively construct new meanings. Research, much of it in the sciences,has successfully demonstrated that a range of student centered instructional techniques can significantlyimprove students’ conceptual learning gains (Hake, 1998; Laws et al., 1999; Reddish et al., 1997; andMazur, 1997). There is a small but growing body of literature in engineering that supports similarconclusions (Prince et al., 2006, 2009). Several factors explain why engineering education has not yet fully capitalized on the research,primarily in physics, for addressing student
