societyIntroductionCommunity engaged learning (CEL) involves students interacting with community groupsthrough a partnership which provides benefits to the community group and furthers studentlearning. Within literature service learning is one common form of CEL. There is a rich historyof CEL in engineering curriculum [1]. CEL has been found to provide a number of benefitsincluding motivation for social engagement [2], communication skills development[3] andacademic benefits [4], [5].Given these benefits, CEL was integrated into a second-year chemical engineering design coursein order to enhance skill development in students and with a particular focus on EngineersCanada Graduate Attribute (GA) development [6].

Atlantic State University,Savannah, Georgia, USA; however the majority of students are from local and surroundingcounties. The majority of public schools in these areas perform substantially below the regionaland national averages in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) areas5. Inmany cases, local students who are mechanically inclined lack the fundamental mathematicalskills necessary for success in an engineering curriculum. These students therefore often opt forthe technical track in high school and inevitably choose to pursue post secondary programs thatqualify them as technicians or mechanics. While the latter phenomenon is not necessarily anegative one, the lack of local engineering expertise has a strong potential to
