engineering study means more than justattending classes or taking exams. The experiences also include meaningful community andsociety involvement and contributions.Impacts on college studentsService learning is a very good way to achieve several objectives for the education ofengineering students, including: 1) Ensure what the students learned are practical and realistic, applicable to the real world. 2) Guarantee that the students have in mind of serving the community when they are in school and keep that after they graduate. 3) Help the students to start to build good and sustainable community relationships while still in school. 4) Facilitate the students’ learning actively

significant low-level programming. Although there areexceptions such as DLXOS1 where students implement an entire operating system, mostconcentrate on a few important subsystems out of necessity. There may be enough time in oneterm to cover all theory and concepts, but not enough to have programming assignments for eachof them. Instructors could therefore be more efficient if they can find assignments that exercise awide variety of OS concepts.

Studentsacross racial/ethnic identities expressed that they like how diverse South University (pseudonym)is and how diversity is valued and celebrated at the university. For several students, this playedan important role in their college selection. A Mexican American male student shared, “I feelcomfortable knowing that as someone who is Hispanic that my culture is reflected in the valuesthat South University has. … I definitely feel at home here. I don't feel discriminated against or aminority whatsoever.” When asked about what he likes about the university, a white malestudent majoring in mechanical engineering said, “The first thing that came to mind was thediversity … It’s more

The real meaning of this phrase isoften even more discouraging: EM is widely believed to be overly theoretical, unintuitive and alittle irrelevant in today’s engineering world. And this is, typically, an opinion of a person who issomewhat familiar with EM, e.g. a graduate engineering student who took electromagneticsduring their junior or
