At its best, service learningallows an opportunity to bridge technical education in the classroom to practice. Additionally, itencourages student development of communication skills, leadership, critical thinking, activelearning, and cultural understanding [1]. These skills learned through service learning benefitstudents upon graduating, as they will be expected to interact with people from diversebackgrounds in order to solve complex problems.

The project the team selected was the conceptual design of a performance and visual art center for an existing nonprofit “village” that houses physically and emotionally abused girls. Each team member was responsible for the design of a component of the project based on her civil engineering subdiscipline. An all-female group of industry practitioners agreed to serve as mentors to the capstone team throughout the project cycle.

It begins with an idea for a product andproceeds through market analysis, specifications, design and a final prototype. The second classis Advanced Product Design it uses a similar project centered class generally starting at theprototype stage and continuing towards a ready for mass production design.
