Page 23.491.2Several engineering programs engage in community through service learning. These programsfollow a structured format in developing community service. Barrington and Duffy summarizewhat service learning is through definition: There have been many definitions for service-learning in the literature over the years[e.g., (Jacoby, 1996), (Bringle, Hatcher, & Games, 1997), (Stanton, Giles, & Cruz, 1999), (Learnand Serve America, 2009). One of the earliest definitions is still widely accepted andcomprehensive: Service-learning is a “a course based, credit-bearing, educational experience inwhich students (a) participate in an organized service activity that meets identified communityneeds and (b) reflect on the service

The top diagram is for tankfilling and the bottom diagram is for tank emptying. It should be pointed out that there was aresidual level of water in the tank before the cases were run. The interesting point is that the tankneither overflows (maximum height = 1 m) nor does it drain completely for Cases 1 and 2,respectively. This result was surprising to the
