  • Abstract
    Professional associations of engineering have recommended Service Learning environments to cultivate professional engineering skills. However, a report from ASEE published in 2012 showed that faculty did not consider these learning environments to be important. This study aims to understand the motivation of instructors of Service-Learning programs in engineering. The results can be used to propose campaigns to attract faculty toward these effective engineering learning environments.
