This issue, however, remains to be resolved. The current course (ECE455) is 3 credit hours with three 50-minute lectures per week. The integration of laboratory exercises has added a 3-hour lab per week into the existing course without reducing the lecture time or increasing the credit hours to 4 (3 for lecture and 1 for lab

A variety of motivations for, and challengesencountered in this effort are discussed, which highlight how educational change often takesplace in tension between educational theory and institutional constraints. Preliminary discussionof results and future plans for assessment are discussed.IntroductionRetention of engineering students continues to be a concern nationally [1].

While a common model is one wherestudents perform community service by directly volunteering or workingwithin a community agency, that integration method does not often matchthe curriculum of an engineering class. Hence, in 2.009, students take aproject model approach in which they work on solving an appliedengineering problem that community clients have targeted as a key need.All teams have the same general task of working with a client to create aworking prototype, but teams working on a service learning projectprovide community service by delivering a product prototype that has aclear service benefit to an identified under-served community group.While all teams communicate and

Because of thiseffort, several key exposures were eliminated. At many institutions, the unintended victims of thiseffort were integration and synthesis, engineering design, engineering process, laboratories anddevice centered approaches to education.This flaw in engineering education
