.4 Student evaluations from the first three semesters of EPICS showed Page 25.554.2significant promise in service learning as a vehicle to address the soft skills of engineering.Students were asked the impact the EPICS program had on their communication skills, ability towork on a team, awareness of ethical issues, organizational techniques, and awareness ofcommunity. The percent of students rating the impact of these areas with an A or B graderanged from 84% - 93%, with the exception of ethical issues which only received 73% A’s orB’s. In a 2005 paper on the continued success of the EPICS program, the reported results offifteen semesters

students inLTS, and b) understand how engineering faculty implement LTS initiatives. (This studyexplores faculty efforts in both service-learning and community service). This study is focusedon engineering faculty members who integrate LTS efforts in engineering across a broad rangeof institutions of higher education. Twenty-nine interviews were conducted with engineeringLTS practitioners to explore their interests, challenges, and results of their efforts. Analysis ofthe interview transcripts reveals 1) faculty members who are passionate about LTS tend to play aleading role in promoting LTS within their institution; 2) faculty’s primary interest in integratingLTS is predominantly motivated by a desire to improve the quality of their teaching and

It is as if engineering as a profession is somehow excused from such deliberations or that if we serve our employers faithfully and professionally, it will

engagement, and b) the positive impacts reported by students are much more prevalent thannegative impacts, in both science and engineering.These findings should be of interest to engineering educators, as first-year engineering studentstake a heavy load of courses in science and math departments, and the dropout rate is typicallyhighest in the first year. Since our data, in this paper and previous papers9-24, show that S-L has apositive effect on retention, it may be to any College of Engineering’s benefit to advocate for S-L in the core courses required in other departments. Why should science faculty be concernedabout S-L in their courses? While by comparison with engineering students, science and mathstudents are less positively impacted by S-L

Meanwhile, over sixty percent of the tweetingactivity relied on retweets. With respect to content type embedded with tweets, photos were mostpopular as over half of the tweets contained a photo. Other forms of media including videos andanimated gifs were used less frequently within the campaign tweets. This finding aligns with
nearly 200 working definitions of service-learning, the definition offered by Bringle and Hatcher [2] is the most encompassing and widelyadopted. In this, service-learning is identified as a “course-based, credit bearing educationalexperience that allows students to (a) participate in an organized service activity that meetsidentified community needs and (b) reflect on the service active in such a way as to gain furtherunderstanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced senseof civic responsibility (p. 112).” Clearly, it is key that the service efforts with the partner bereciprocal and mutually valued, connected and committed to advancing the learning goals of thecourse, and include critical reflection
