Service isprovided to the underserved or for the common good of the community and benefits the students,faculty, the department, the local community, the institution, and the private sector15. Note thatone important fact about service learning is the reflection component done by the student. It hasbeen shown that over 65% of the students recognize the civic engagement portion of service-learning as a critical part of their education12.Today engineering curriculum lags behind other disciplines in offering service learningprograms12.

This requires not only knowledge of statisticalconcepts related to DOE, but also the ability to integrate this methodology with fundamentalengineering principles toward designing and understanding experiments. However, currentengineering curriculums have not fully adapted to this need in the engineering industry. In the1970s and 1980s, the absence of sound statistical methods in the engineering work place led to acrisis in US industry where a large percentage of the market share went overseas. This crisis wasfirst reflected in the manufacture of automobiles and then in the process-oriented manufacture ofintegrated circuits.1,2 Only with the industrial investment towards quality, largely through the

In some ways, they reflect the variety of approaches to teachingentrepreneurship discussed in this paper. That is, some simulations use the business plan as thecenterpiece, requiring students use live data to gather, collate, and present information aboutmarkets, industries, and customers within the context of a business plan. Other simulations focuson small business settings, where students are required actually to make decisions aboutmerchandise mix, pricing, cost allocation, and other core business decisions.Some of the leading technology

can be processed inonly one of two ways (addition and subtraction) at the most fundamental level, regardless ofthe device that processes it, be it electronic or biological. If so, we can infer that no matterhow a computing device processes information structurally, the duality in basic computationwill most likely manifest itself at higher-level device-dependent processes as well. Anotherreason for similarities may be that the design and use of electronic computing devices areimposed by biological computing agents that control them. As a result, the mind’s use ofelectronic computing devices should reflect how it does its own computing. This may be whymodeling is common to both electronic and biological computing because the thinkingprocess

I did that a lot, a lot of reflecting and seeing how I can improve as a student and how to improve as a male in general and making the best out of the situation. I made sure I was active here [in college] in organizations and stuff and that kind of helped me a lot with my major and I just didn’t want to have my experience here be that I really just was here just for classes and not much else.

While still not universally accepted, some studies suggestthat both active learning interventions and flipped class approaches can increase student learningand performance (Freeman et al. 2014; O’Flaherty and Phillips 2015). Active learninginterventions can be generally defined as any instructional method that engages students in thelearning process (Prince 2004). Several core elements of active learning include student activity,student participation in the learning process, student reflection on ideas presented in the coursecurriculum, and regular assessment by students concerning their degree of understanding andhandling
