Analysis of Student Reflections from Civil and Environmental Engineering Capstone Courses to Evaluate Service-Learning Experiences and Their Effectiveness

Abstract

AbstractStudent reflections offer an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of service-learning (SL) in engineering courses. This paper explains the approach, analysis, and conclusions of students’ written reflections (n=246) from 62 different team-...Practical ApplicationsThis study reinforces the effectiveness of service-learning (SL) as an effective teaching and learning approach for capstone civil and environmental engineering courses. Despite challenges related to team dynamics, community partner ...
