Service-Learning Integrated throughout a College of Engineering (SLICE)

这项工程学系级别的改革规划助学金将把服务学习整合到一系列广泛的课程中，使学生每学期都能在整个工程学院的每个课程的核心课程中接触到服务学习。服务学习已被证明在许多认知和情感措施方面是有效的，包括批判性思维和对多样性的容忍。因此，服务性学习有助于更好地了解课程主题、合作学习、招募工程学中代表性不足的群体、留住学生、公民身份以及达到工程教育者所熟知的abet 2000标准a-k。这笔赠款将用于规划实施：教师招聘和培训、计划和课程修改、评估和结果传播。拟议研究的实施和评估阶段预计将对学生、教师、机构和社区产生重大影响。计划实施的项目的预期结果将包括：增加工程学专题的体验式学习，招募和留住工程学中代表性不足的群体(特别是妇女)，容忍多样性，合作学习，积极的公民意识，以及一个更开明和更适合居住的地方和全球社区。

This Engineering Department Level Reform Planning grant will integrate service-learning into a broad array of courses so that students will be exposed to service-learning every semester in the core curriculum in every program in the entire college of engineering. Service-learning has been shown to be effective in a large number of cognitive and affective measures, including critical thinking and tolerance for diversity. As a result, service learning leads to better knowledge of course subject matter, cooperative learning, recruitment of underrepresented groups in engineering, retention of students, citizenship as well as the meeting of ABET 2000 criteria a-k, well-known to engineering educators. This grant will be directed toward planning for implementation: faculty recruitment and training, program and course modification, assessment, and dissemination of results. The implementation and assessment phases of the proposed study are expected to have significant impact on students, faculty, institution, and community. Expected outcomes of the project to be planned would include, very briefly, increased experiential learning of engineering subject matter, recruitment and retention of underrepresented groups in engineering (particularly women), tolerance of diversity, cooperative learning, active citizenship, and a more enlightened and livable local and global community.
