Description:
This book represents the 14th in the Service-Learning in the Disciplines Series and concentrates on how service-learning can be successfully incorporated in engineering programs, a discipline to which is it relatively new. Contributors to the volume are experienced in using service-learning and address issues of concern to engineering educators. As one peer reviewer commented, "The audience for this <Actinic:Variable Name = 'book'/> is the engineering education community-that community will expect practical applications of the theory that will lead to improved engineering education.'"
