AB  -        Engineering Service Learning– Case Study on preparing students                          for the global communityToday’s engineering students need to be proficient not only in engineering and science principlesbut also be aware of the interplay among science, technology, and society. The mission of ourschool of engineering is to prepare our students for professional excellence, responsiblecitizenship, and service to society. To meet this mission, we provide students with opportunitiesto work on community projects both locally and globally and have formalized their servicelearning through a course “Engineering Projects for the Community”. This course includesservice and civic learning experiences for each of the engineering disciplines; providesinterdisciplinary projects of the students’ choice; and includes structured reflection as a keycourse component.This paper presents a case study on a global project where the students gained experienceworking for real world clients on problems with real world constraints and insight on howengineers impact and influence the world around them. The project was developed by theEngineers Without Borders (EWB) Student Chapter. The EWB students involved in this projectenrolled in the course to prepare for the non-technical components of the task including ethics,communication, and leadership. The course also addresses the engineering design process toassist students in applying their technical skills on the project.Through the use of study surveys and student reflections, this paper attempts to identify theeffect of community projects on student learning and student perception of their chosen careerpath. As one student reflected, “The engineer must be able to understand much more than the‘engineering’; there is a huge ethical and communal side to engineering.” Another noted, “Thisexperience has a large impact on the team members’ concept of what it means to be anengineer”.
