While the top reason is idealistically focused (“helping others”), the rest arepragmatically focused professional and personal drivers.The top five reasons students participate in these programs are shown in Table 2 andinclude: helping others, personal goal, a desire to work abroad, a career goal, a desire tosolve problems and to gain hands on experience. A common statement was the desire tomake a difference and to use engineering to accomplish that goal for their community

.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

forreflective learning. In terms of motivation, the single most important factor associated with apositive service-learning experience appears to be the student’s degree of interest in the subjectmatter. Subject matter interest is an especially important determinant of the extent to which (a)the service experience enhances understanding of the “academic” course material, and (b) the Page 25.882.4service is viewed as a learning experience. These findings provide strong support for the notionthat service learning should be included in the student’s major field. The second most significantfactor in a positive service-learning experience is whether the
