This paper presents the objectives, technique, and student feedback after introducing community service projects into a first year design course in the engineering program at Queen's University. An overview of the state of community service learning (CSL) in Canada is presented. Results from a post-course survey are used to compare student perceptions of CSL projects with more traditional projects. Responses from the survey indicate that a greater proportion of students on CSL projects felt their projects required creativity to solve.

This chapter explores how combining carefully selected high-impact educational practices in the critical first-year of college can benefit students, particularly traditionally underserved student populations, and promote cultural sensitivity and communication with a wider campus audience than is typically available to the traditional college freshmen. The First Year Experience Study Abroad (FYESA) program combines three high-impact educational experiences; freshman seminar, service-learning, and global learning, in one innovative program targeting freshman students in their second semester. The purpose of the program is to provide students with an extension of the Freshman Seminar through their entire first-year, coupled with strategies for increasing diversity awareness and sensitivity in the classroom and abroad by engaging in experiential learning in the form of service-learning. As part of the program, freshman students will plan a service-learning project in the host country over the spring semester and then deliver the project during the travel abroad portion of the course.

Learning Projects

The purpose of this study was to determine if student’s perceptions of service learning projects lead to an understanding the mission of the University of the Incarnate Word. It is through the service learning opportunity that a window opens to determine if students gain a prospective of service learning and the meaning of the mission of the institution. The research findings revealed moderate positive relationships among students’ perceptions of learning service projects and the students’ understanding of the mission of the institution. The implications and limitations of this study are discussed.
