In addition, a sense ofcollaboration between the educators and the organization where the service is to be rendered isrequired to enable the success of this frame work.What is service learning (SL)?McPherson7 (2005) asserted that “Service learning is a method of teaching through whichstudents apply their academic skills and knowledge to address real-life needs in their owncommunities.” Bradford² (2005) defined service learning as an educational method by whichparticipants learn and develop through active participation in service that is conducted in andmeets the needs of a community.

using teams to initiate ideas, highly effective idea-generating teams don’t just occurnaturally. Certain team components need to be developed to facilitate the production ofinnovative ideas and solutions. A progressive approach used by the author for teaching creativethinking involves the use of the team concept and teamwork activities.This paper will describe how the team concept can be used to promote creative thinking amongstudents. The paper will focus on the importance of promoting creative thinking for engineeringand technology students and how to use teams to teach students about creative thinking. Thepaper will help to prepare students for their future leadership roles by providing an understandingof creative thinking and how to promote

Moreover, in order to produce a computer program that correctly simulates a naturalphenomenon of interest, students would have to thoroughly understand the dynamics of thesystem.However, many college students, with the exception of those majoring in computer science, areresistant to taking computer programming classes since the curriculum of computer
