and Engineering Educators Association(ITEEA), technology is defined as human innovation in action that involves the productionof knowledge and progressions that will develop systems to solve problems and lengthenhuman competencies. Technology also involves advancements, transformations, ormodification of the natural environment to satisfy professed requirements and desires(http://www.iteaconnect.org). With continuous advancements, transformations, andmodifications, the community stands at the vanguard of constant need for technologicaltraining and assistance. This renders a need for service. To assist in fulfilling this need,technology students should participate in service learning activities to enhance theirawareness of societal needs, and

These are identified after their curriculum designators as BID, BENand BHD respectively.Student traits can influence results. While organizing student traits by major can nurturestereotypes, the study’s findings differ sufficiently by degree program that some sort ofcharacterization is helpful. Industrial and human factors is an art-based design program,computer aided product design is an engineering based program with
