Service learning is built upon a foundational educational theory ofconstructivism where students make practical connections between what they have learned intheir engineering classrooms, what they have experienced in the past, and the service projectitself. In addition, it enhances student motivation because students feel that they are making apositive difference in the world beyond their engineering studies (Lima and Oakes, 2013).This paper reviews the co-authors experiences with service learning including designing andbuilding playgrounds for elementary schools (the 33rd was built during ASEE's 2016conference), technical consulting service to a neighborhood impacted by local hazardous wastesites, a rooftop rainwater

This makes sense considering the short half-life of the knowledgeobtained. But why take engineering at all if most graduates do not become practicing engineers?The fact is that there is a very high demand in our society for people who are technically literate(sometimes referred to disparagingly as technocrats) in a very wide range of jobs. It isengineering and science degrees that fill this need. The technocrat will be expected to handletechnical information, to understand diagrams, be very computer

Therefore, the primary goal of this studywas to identify factors that influence male and female performances and preferences in STEMeducation.

First, the fifth-year master's degree was restructured to include anindividual graduate project requirement once again.

The retentionand attrition rates are usually at the center of this discussion as they can be directly linked toother metrics, including graduation rates. Several AEC programs also explored the idea of aninterdisciplinary/multi-disciplinary curriculum, which utilized a common curriculum in the firstand second years for multiple majors [8-10].Two specific observations can be noted from the decades-long research work: 1) the first andsecond-year success and

role thatactive learning plays as the underlying pedagogical concept behind all such courses.Active LearningActive Learning is said to be the key to truly effective education. Goff paraphrased Piaget andsaid “… in order for a student to understand something, she must construct it herself, she mustre-invent it.”3. He went on to observe that students who are engaged in the learning processmaster the material. Students who are not engaged generally do not succeed. The best way toengage students is to create an exciting active learning environment.

The objective of the project is toexplore the impact of embedded systems in a number of core courses in the undergradu-ate curricula. First, existing courses have been modified to explicitly present the respectivecourse content in the context of embedded systems. Specifically, four courses are targeted inthe VESL Visions for Embedded Systems Laboratories) project: software engineering, op-erating systems, computer system design, and digital electronics. The courses were
