Hello Everyone:
Just a
quick reminder:
The editors
of the International Journal for Service Learning in Engineering, Humanitarian Engineering
and Social Entrepreneurship (IJSLE) announced earlier this year a Call
for Papers for a Special Edition of the Journal entitled:
‘University
Engineering Programs That Impact Communities: Critical Analyses and
Reflections’
The editors seek to provide readers a 'snapshot' of the
structure, practices, methods employed by the various existing programs around
the country. Critical analyses and reflections of current programs
are encouraged as are assessment data and research findings related to the
programs. Due to requests from numerous practitioners,
manuscripts related to ‘communities’ and how they have been incorporated into,
or partnered with, the ‘University Engineering Program(s)’ are sought as well.
Suggested Outline:
1. Introduction: Your approach, which includes
experiential learning in the classroom/field and project-based curriculum
2. Brief background and history of program.
What makes your program different?
3. What are the outcomes seen so far? What changes
are seen in the students and/or the communities as a result of your
approach?
4. Highlight lessons learned (hurdles, pitfalls).
What has worked well and what has been changed over time? Why? What changes are
planned for the future?
5. Case studies/best
practices to demonstrate what has worked well. Best practices. Select 1-2 projects or students that have been
successful to highlight conclusions.
A more detailed
list of suggestions for possible manuscript outlines and content can be found at: www.ijsle.org
Manuscript
submittal deadline is extended to September 30th, 2014 with
publication planned for December, 2014.
If you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you!
Tom
Editor in Chief: International Journal for Service Learning in Engineering (http://www.ijsle.org)
