As a result of this upsurge, newpublication venues have also been established, including the International Journal of ServiceLearning in Engineering (IJSLE) founded in 20041, and the new ASEE Community Engagementdivision founded in 2013.2 Related research has primarily focused on students, with particularemphasis on knowledge and skills; attitudes and identities; recruitment, retention, and diversity;and professional

Professors, academic advisors, and academic support staff were solicited for studentnominations. Due to the timing of the program funding, the request for nominations was not sentuntil the last week of the semester, resulting in 15 nominations received. Nominees were askedto complete an application and were subsequently interviewed by at least two of the mentors. Ofthe 15 nominees, 13 were invited to join the program (one student didn’t respond for aninterview and one student was graduating). Table 1 shows the demographics of the male studentcohort.
