local not-for-profit organization.The intent of this paper is to present an initial assessment of the effectiveness of a service-learning experience on several outcomes including retention, student satisfaction, self-efficacy,motivation, identity, and moral reasoning. We utilized a number of psychological instruments tomeasure constructs which we believe underlie the course goals described above. Initial resultsindicate that the most significant gains experienced by the students were in their moralreasoning, school and peer attachment, and design and self-directed learning self-efficacy. Wealso observed that retention of students at the end of the year was strongly predicted bysatisfaction with the experience and learning self-efficacy

Referencing Gagne’s design guidance [11], it iscritical to get their attention with an engaging opening and then pair that with a connection totheir past learning.Engineering students are often directed to the major because they are proficient in math andscience, yet they may or may not also possess impactful professional skills (writing, speaking,audio/visual production) that are not typically applied in engineering course work. The use ofthese skills needs to be encouraged as preparation for their engineering career. Recent feedbackfrom industry partners has yielded that many interns and recent graduates are technicallycompetent yet lack the

The zone of proximal development (ZPD) has been defined as "the distance betweenthe actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level ofpotential development as determined through problem-solving under adult guidance or incollaboration with more capable peers" [31, p. 86].Play and unstructured, informal activities stimulate children’s social interaction and influencetheir learning and knowledge construction [31].

institutional focus on honorable behavior is considerable.After considerable deliberation, the independent-study grading model was adopted, with themodification that the student would face the same final exam as his peers, and that the score onthat final would be a major factor in determining the final grade. This philosophy of evaluationcan be summarized as flexible but verifiable. It was particularly important that the grading andevaluation scheme be relatively “bulletproof”, given that this was a test case and might drawconsiderable scrutiny from unforeseen persons or organizations. The shared closely-proctoredfinal exam administered at the home institution upon return was judged to be fair, illustrative ofthe student’s level of achievement, and

it is criticalthat faculty work on improving their online teaching techniques, they must also optimize thebenefits of in-person learning when human-to-human interactions take place. One of the largestbenefits of in-person learning is the opportunity of social interaction. One study found thatallowing students to interact with each other in a flipped gamified environment provided betterlearning outcomes when compared with online or traditional education [12]. The impact of thispandemic is expected to affect social skills of those who were students during that time [4]. In-person learning provides opportunities for students to socialize with their peers and buildrelationships. It is important that, rather than taking these features for granted

We found that even when positions did not include “engineer” in the job title,many alumni remained in engineering-related sectors or reported that their positions were relatedto engineering. We also leveraged Sankey diagrams to represent the “flow” of individuals acrossdifferent positions. These diagrams revealed the breadth of career pathways, with alumni movinginto and out of engineering positions. Second, we performed a content analysis on write-inresponses in which alumni expanded upon their survey answers.
