The roots ofservice learning come from these ideas of „learning while doing.‟There are many benefits to service learning, as noted in the text “Where‟s the Learning inService Learning” by Janet Eyler and Dwight Giles. Eyler and Giles cite as benefits thedevelopment of problem solving skills, interpersonal development, cognitive advancement, andenhanced world views 5. The role of reflection is also noted to be a critical component in servicelearning. This period of evaluation of ones learning, goals and experiences is important tohelping students realize the connections between theory and practice 5.Experiential learning like service learning is an increasingly

These team proposals were then evaluated and adjusted based on a) whetherthe project was too trivial; b) whether the project was overly complex for the scope of the course;and c) whether (hardware) resources were available to fulfill the project.Team projects make use of sensors and actuators that the students have had to identify during theplanning phase. Each team is in charge of its project design with the advice of the lab assistantsand the instructor. As part of the project, each team had to become familiar with sources forsensors or components for their projects. The predominant source of such components

Is this DFW rate improvement most closely related to the gradual improvement in the Freeform environment or instructor characteristics as (s)he implements the course environment?The authors hypothesize that the likelihood of DFW would drop in each year following theinception of Freeform as the new environment is institutionalized as the standard for ME 274and as instructors add and enhance the ABC components of Freeform (RQ2). Moreover, as anygiven instructor becomes comfortable with the environment and more confident and strategicabout their implementation of the course, the likelihood of student success would also increase.However, over the same time period for Dynamics at

, Retaining and Graduating More Women in Computer Science and Math Abstract We report on the CS/M Scholars Program which is supported by an NSF S-STEM grant that began in 2011. The program aims to increase the number of women graduating with degrees in Computer Science or Mathematics. It is well known that women are under- represented in these fields nationally and this is also the case at our university. Our efforts include targeted recruitment of female high school students with a record of academic achievement and leadership potential. In addition to providing scholarships, student success is bolstered by required first-year seminars, early advising, and monthly events focused on professional
