Purpose and Scope
The editors invite submission of high-quality manuscripts
that explore: 1) assessment, 2) scholarship, and 3) interdisciplinary
engagement related to Service Learning in Engineering (SLE) - both domestically
and internationally. A few examples of
potential topics which might be addressed are provided below:
1. Assessment
of Service Learning in Engineering
a. Methods and
results of assessment of student learning
b. Methods and
results of assessment of community impacts
c. Methods and
results of assessment of impacts on the University, College, Department and
Employers
d. How might
SLE practices be changing what, and how, we assess in engineering education?
2. Scholarship
of Service Learning in Engineering
a. What is
‘scholarship’ as related to service learning in engineering?
b. P&T
committees and the review process – what is SLE ‘value’?
c. Comparison
of publications valued by the SLE community and those valued by P&T
committees
d. Other
avenues to scholarship: conferences, books, grants, workshops, etc.
e. Comparisons
with service-learning in other disciplines - what is the state of the art. What can engineering learn from other
disciplines?
3.
Interdisciplinary Engagement
a. Examples of
technically rigorous engineering research with strong socio-economic context
b.
Entrepreneurship and SLE
c. Curricular
models of ‘breaking down the silos’ with SLE
