Title
Using community engagement to teach engineering and computing
Abstract
Community Engagement or Service-learning is a rapidly growing pedagogy in higher education and has come under increased visibility within engineering and computing education. It has been cited as a potential tool for increasing student engagement as well as diversity among our engineering, technology and computing student bodies. It also has opportunities to prepare the next generation of professionals, addressing issues including retention, diversity, learning and professional preparation. This workshop will introduce interested faculty, students, administrators and professionals to service-learning models including EPICS and provide resources for participants to implement such programs at their respective institutions.
