AB  - Motivation of Community Partners and Advisors to Participate inCommunity Engagement Engineering ProgramsSince 2000, research in service-learning has started to investigate partnerships andcommunity voice, but this research trend has received little attention amongengineering education scholars. This study aims to fill this gap by developing aricher understanding of community-university partnerships in engineeringcommunity engagement from the perspectives of academic programs and servedcommunities. In part inspired by the existing service-learning literature, this studyaddresses the question: Why are individuals and local community organizationsinvolved in engineering service-learning partnerships? This study utilizes a singlecase study design, with data collection including in-depth interviews withcommunity partners, faculty and program administrators (n=11) at a wellestablished service-learning program within the US. All interviews weretranscribed and coded thematically. Deductive codes were identified based on areview of three empirical studies examining the motivation of communityorganizations involved in service-learning programs. An inductive analysis wasalso used to discern new themes. This paper also compares preliminary resultsthat are similar to other non-engineering service-learning partnerships. The mostrecognized reason for involvement of the participants is to support engineeringstudents with their education. Many of the community and advisors stated thatthey enjoyed the experience of service learning, and the organization benefiteddirectly from the partnership. Overall, this work helps clarify and addressmisunderstandings that engineering programs and community organizations mayhave relative to partner motivations. Based on this research the authors suggestthat engineering programs increase emphasis on learning about the communityorganization within their learning objectives, since it is deemed important by thecommunity partners and critical for the final outcome of the project.
