Page 23.1098.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Student Experiences in Service-Learning: Engineering vs. SciencesAbstractThe cognitive and affective benefits of service-learning (S-L) for students have been welldocumented, and S-L has become more common in many disciplines, including engineering, thehealth sciences, and education. Opportunities in the core sciences, however, seem sparse. Thispaper compares the attitudes of science majors and engineering majors toward S-L throughquantitative analysis of survey responses. The goal is to examine student experience andlearning in the context of other factors that might influence participation in S
in Engineering Service-LearningAbstractAttracting and retaining women in engineering is critical in the USA today. While women arecoming to college in overrepresented numbers, they are not represented equally to men inengineering majors. Though a university can only have limited impact on the attrition of womenin the engineering workforce, we can (and must!) work to improve recruitment and retention andto graduate women with adequate preparation for an engineering career. An increasing numberof engineering programs are integrating service-learning (S-L) into their curricula.For the past eight years of one S-L program, students in a college of engineering have beenwidely surveyed at the beginning of their studies and at the end of each
?AbstractService-learning (S-L) has been integrated into an average of 30 engineering courses every yearsince 2004 in five undergraduate departments. Forty-three faculty members have tried S-L, overhalf the engineering faculty. In 2010-2011, 1267 students (out of an enrollment of 1600) engagedin S-L projects in 33 courses contributing an estimated 49,500 hours to the community. Thisapproach to trying to develop better engineers and more engaged citizens was motivated by thegrowing body of research showing widespread benefits of S-L, the meeting of academicobjectives through addressing real community needs in credit-bearing courses. But what do thestudents who are part of this program think about S-L? In this study surveys of student viewswere collected
with engineeringoutreach activities to enhance the learning experience of the students enrolled in an engineeringcourse (EGR 299 S course). The objective was to improve the retention of underrepresentedengineering students (majority at CPP) by providing them with opportunities to use theirtechnical engineering skills and by providing them with opportunities to work in diverse andmultidisciplinary teams (building confidence in their knowledge) in order to build relationshipswith K-12 students and to motivate the K-12 students to pursue STEM fields.Introduction to CPP engineering programsCal Poly Pomona is a four-year institution well-known by the diversity of its student population(0.2, 23.6, 3.3, 38.9, 0.1, 19.7, 3.9, 4.4 and 5.7 % of American
and written publications. So, I’m a big supporter of S-L, as an active learning method. The service initiative, and the service component is very powerful as long as we have good projects; and they can be well integrated into the courses.”To Increase Student Motivation to Learn: 95% of the faculty members expressed their interestin service-learning primarily because they viewed it as a way to motivate students to learn. Intheir view, students become more motivated to learn and to develop technical skills when thelearning goes beyond the classroom. Therefore, service-learning was viewed as a value-addedteaching strategy to enhance student learning of engineering content. As such, they weremotivated to use service-learning
globally competent engineer as one who “work[s] effectively with people whodefine problems differently than they do” (p. 110).8 Moreover, we understand navigating acrosscultures to be a salient characteristic of working effectively with those “who define problemsdifferently.” We understand culture to be “dominant images” (p. 5),9 a framework also proposedby Downey and Lucena.10 Lucena nicely articulates this understanding of culture: “[I]ndividualsliving and working in a particular spatial and temporal location are challenged by dominantimages. Dominant images create expectations about how individuals in that location aresupposed to act or behave. In this … concept of culture, the image remains the same over aperiod of time, while individual or

understanding of empathy has also been pursued in the fields ofengineering and technology for purposes relating to the ability of robotic technologies to imitatehuman abilities [8]–[10]. In our study, we focus on the aspect of empathy research concernedwith the ability of people to consider how their decisions affect others.Service learning (S-L) is a well-studied approach to teaching and learning [11]–[16]. It is one ofseveral pedagogies for engaging students in learning. In this study, by service learning we meana learning environment where students are taking a course for credit, serving a community aspart of the course and reflecting on their experience also as a component of the course [12], [17].S-L has been identified as a helpful pedagogy for
render more loss of life anddestruction of property. As an example, large fires have destroyed highly affluent neighborhoods acrossCalifornia, Texas, and Florida. Floods and flash floods have killed hundreds of people around the worldeach year, more than any other weather event. Catastrophic flooding, as a result of Hurricane Harvey,left many people stranded. Tornadoes cause widespread property damage, clearing slabs and flippingmobile homes. Tornadoes are also most common in the central part and Great Plains regions of theUnited States; thus, including Mississippi (U. S. Tornadoes, 2016).As researcher Quarentelli has predicted (1996 and 2001) the increase of disasters and the emergence ofnew and more impactful disasters, there would be an
prediction model,with very few studies, such as a study by Sucharitha et al. [1], who estimated much less foodinsecurity determinants (income and distance) using more complex prediction techniques such asClustering algorithms. Future studies need to develop this idea of considering a wider range ofdeterminants (related to each case studies) using more advanced prediction algorithms such asmachine learning techniques or using a neural network, to accurately predict where the foodinsecure community is located and how to design solutions to better engage these communities.References:[1] L.
