engineering curriculum at a public university.Over the academic years 2004-2008, an average of 30 core required engineering courses havehad S-L projects each year. The hypothesis is that because the students would see with S-L moredirectly how engineering can improve the lives of those in the local and internationalcommunity, they would be more motivated to enter and stay in engineering and try to learn thesubject matter better. In terms of recruitment, S-L is advertized to prospective students as thenumber two reason to come to the college (number one is value). Twenty-two percent of firstyear students at the end of their first semester reported that S-L was one of the reasons forcoming to the college, roughly the same as the 24% in December 2007

Historically, senior projects that have led to longer-termstudent-private sector collaborations or even student-initiated business have been rare.Recently, entrepreneurship at Pitt-Johnstown has experienced a revitalization.
