A Summit on Measuring the Impacts of Project-Based Service Learning on Engineering Education to be held February 19-20, 2009, in Washington, DC.

工程-其他（59）该项目旨在探讨基于项目的服务学习（PBSL）对工程教育的影响。这项研究的核心是与二十位工程PBSL和评估领导人参加的这些影响的测量峰会。同样重要的研究是创建一个首脑会议前的报告，在工程教育的PBSL的状态，重点是评估。本文件综合了文献中的证据和峰会与会者的信息，对现有的PBSL计划、其影响以及研究这些计划时使用的评估方法进行了广泛的审查。峰会议程旨在确定所需的成果指标，质量评估方法，以及了解PBSL对工程教育的影响所需的关键后续步骤。首脑会议前和首脑会议的结论正在合并成一份在全国分发的最后报告，并在几次会议上提出。

Engineering - Other (59)The project aims to explore the impacts of project-based service learning (PBSL) on engineering education. Central to this study is a summit on the measurement of these impacts with twenty leaders in engineering PBSL and assessment attending. Equally important to the study is the creation of a pre-summit report on the state of PBSL in engineering education with an emphasis on evaluation. This document, a synthesis of evidence in the literature and information from summit participants, provides a broad review of existing PBSL programs, their impacts, and the assessment methods used in studying them. The summit agenda is designed to identify desired outcome metrics, quality assessment methods, and key next steps needed in understanding the impacts of PBSL on engineering education. The pre-summit and summit findings are being combined into a nationally disseminated final report and presented in several conference presentations.
