At the University of South Alabama, ServiceLearning is implemented by a partnership between the SECME (Southeastern Consortium for Minorities inEngineering) program of the Mobile County Public School System in Mobile, Alabama and the MechanicalEngineering Department. First-year mechanical engineering students are formed into design teams, and eachteam is paired with two middle-school teachers serving as customers for the design projects.

In a continuously demographically changing classroom,instructors face the challenge of adjusting the content of the course and the projects suchthat both the lecture and laboratory assignments are suitable, interesting, and useful forall types of students; these students include traditional recent high-school graduatestudents, transfer students with some prior college course credit, professional students,and other mature students.In the classical style of teaching this course, it has

The concept for this approach was based on thenotion that technical information and new knowledge acquisition can be achieved in bothformal and informal modes [ 3] . Formal learning experiences occur in lectures delivered by theinstructor while informal learning is obtained through the self-directed and team-basedprojects with appropriate instruction. Professional skills including communication skills,teamwork skills and lifelong learning skills were integrated with up-to-date technical skillsdevelopment in laboratory-rich and hands-on projects.The course

Such an approach has two attractive features for engineers. First, it is a rational andquantitative process that is easily appreciated by engineers. Second, because it examines allstages of the life cycle, it allows engineers to easily identify what design or processimprovements will lead to the greatest reduction in environmental impact.The present paper will describe a laboratory experience used in a senior level materials andprocess selection design course developed by the author.
