New technologies, newtechniques, changes in technology price points, new calls for students to master the ethical,social, and political dimensions of engineering and to work in teams, and various other factorsare a constant source of pressure to treat an ever larger array of topics in the curriculum.

classify John Dewey as a social scientist. His first work is on psychology,published three years after earning his PhD at Johns Hopkins University. He is a contemporary ofFreud (they never met) and is sometimes discussed with Freud and Skinner as representing one ofthe three approaches to social thought in the United States. Freud and Skinner would represent theother two2. The problem with classifying Dewey as just a social scientist is that it is simply notaccurate. Dewey’s work can be described as at least 25 books spanning 1887 to 1949; and 41 notedpamphlets essays and other shorter works from the same period.

With a concern such as this in mind, it is important for up and comingengineers in the 21st century to realize that it is our responsibility and our ethical duty to addressthese issues. Therefore, through a course in service learning, young engineers will put to usewhat they learned in their studies and apply them to address this community’s problem.

First, the time over which the course was offered was extended over two semesters for thehigh school students, whereas it was provided in one semester for the college freshmen. Thischange was made to accommodate students’ schedules because each of the selected high schoolstudents were taking a full, rigorous high school course load. Secondly, for the 2014-2015 cohortof students, the major design project subject matter was a clean energy real-life design project,whereas college students and previous cohorts of ECE students had been assigned a

This concern makes job shadowing an ideal experiential learning program becauseit gives those a shadowing experience while not requiring the shadow participants to have theexpertise needed to perform tasks.A pertinent observation found in medical shadowing programs is that there are ethical concernswhen shadowing physicians during patient interactions [8] [9]. Namely, programs must considerensuring that participants follow confidentiality expectations. This concern can be handled byhaving students sign confidentiality agreements and complete HIPAA training. However, there arestill concerns that even if patients give informed consent to the student's presence, it may affect thehonesty of the interaction. Therefore, the potential
