Abstract
Service learning is a rapidly growing pedagogy in higher education and has come under increased visibility within engineering and computer science. Service-learning has been cited as a potential tool for increasing student engagement as well as diversity among our engineering, technology and computing student bodies. It has opportunities to excite the next generation of engineers, addressing issues including retention and diversity as well as learning in our classrooms. This workshop will introduce interested faculty, students and professionals to service-learning models and will provide resources for them to implement such programs at their respective institutions.
