It can develop both technical and the broad professionalskills needed in today’s global economy and is well-matched to the literature on diversity. Inengineering and computing education, service-learning is typically project-based where studentsdevelop a project that adds value to the community partner. At a large Midwestern university, adesign-based service-learning program engages students in teams that partner with local andglobal community partners to develop technological solutions to human, community andenvironmental needs.

Purdue University has integrated service learning into a multidisciplinary and verticallyintegrated course structure that is centered on long-term engineering projects through theEngineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) Program. Although no formal evaluationhas yet focused on the experiences of the female students in EPICS, it appears that EPICS isserving as an effective vehicle for encouraging women in engineering and computer science.Over a five-year window, enrollment of women in ECE and ME at Purdue ranged from 10% to12%, while 20% of ECE and ME students in EPICS were women. In Spring 2001, 33% of theCS students in EPICS were women, compared

In addition, we are also collecting students’self-reported perception of each method for comprehensibility, effort to solve, and ease ofimplementation with calculation tools. The goal is to test the research hypothesis that the projectionmethod for fourbar linkages is easier to comprehend and easier to apply for solving problems.The study is conducted with twenty-seven participants who are randomly divided into two nearly

In Phase I ofthe project, students met with Allegion to identify their needs. These needs were translated intoengineering requirements, from which three design alternatives were generated in Phase II. InPhase III students began to prototype the automatic lock testing system, and run preliminary testsfor functionality.

In some academic environments the students in engineering programs maynot acquire meaningful project experience in the areas of faculty expertise. This can be due, inpart, to the expectations institutions place upon their faculty.The professional growth and creative scholarly contributions of faculty
