Service learning is new for engineering students in PCU. When heat transfer class was adopting service learning methode last year, a small survey was done to know the students’ respond for this new methode. The survey was done via reflection they wrote in the end of the process. The students learn not only heat transfer itself, but they also learn how to apply it to an oven needed by a community in Kebontunggul, a small village in Mojokerto. The students in three groups visited the village, discussed with the villagers, and designed the oven used to dry crackers’ paste made from corn, cassava, and rice flour. Once the design was ready, the students went to workshop to manufacture the ovens. The oven was tested before sent to the village. They learned that it was difficult to make those cheap crackers. They learned a lot from the villagers in social interpersonal, social intrapersonal, emotional, and cognitive process. They are thankful to God for their being and grateful for this Service Learning class. A student even wrote, “I had changed motivation from just pursuing grade to seriously helping villagers”.

The Impact

This paper describes the implementation and the impact of a service-learning project in a heat transfer course for undergraduate engineering students. The students visited low-income households in the Detroit area and installed insulation materials on doors and windows thereby conserving energy and reducing heating costs during the cold months. The students collected information about the materials, dimensions, and relevant engineering parameters. They used the information to calculate the resulting dollar amount of energy savings. There were interactions with a university office in charge of assisting the faculty in using service learning by developing course-relevant community-service projects. There was collaboration with a nonprofit organization that promotes the development of resource efficient homes through training and technical assistance. Data were first gathered about the students’ awareness and attitudes regarding the relationship between engineering work and society. Students rated themselves in leadership attributes such as empathy, awareness, conceptualization, and the community, and also in social justice interests such as the dignity of the human person, the common good, rights, responsibilities and poverty. After conducting the project, they reflected on their experience. Analysis of the students’ responses clearly showed that they became more aware and perceptive of their role as engineers in a societal context.

The Impact

Experiential learning has become a common part of many engineering students undergraduate experience and is frequently accomplished using the service learning model. Intensive service learning for engineers is typically characterized by the type of “high risk” projects associated with developing world, humanitarian based service programs. In this research an expectancy-value theory model is used to evaluate student perceived value of service learning experiences. The model is applied to a case study where both engineering and non-engineering student participated in more than 25 projects over a 12 year period. Seventy-six percent of the respondents indicated that they most highly valued either the importance of the humanitarian mission or the impact of the experience on their perspective on life. Cost (monetary, time and effort) was ranked the least important factor. In all eight categories students rated the value (quality) of the experience higher than their expectation. Evidence suggests that, for engineering students, the value of the experience relative to their career should receive more emphasis and that professional role confidence may be an issue for female students. The results aid in assessing program efficacy and identifying areas where improvements can be achieved.

Every year during semester break in July to August, Petra Christian University holds an international service-learning which is popularly known as Community Outreach Program (COP). This program has been conducted for 20 yr since 1996 in which more than 15 university partners from 10 different countries have participated in COP. In this research the impact of COP on the community served through a survey done on 140 residents of twelve villages in Mojokerto regency, East Java province in Indonesia is studied. Cultural exchange between the villagers and the students was also measured, particularly with the overseas participants. Additionally, the economic impact and the villagers’ wish for a better service that the coming COP can provide, is also investigated. The results indicate that the villagers were satisfied with the programs, either physical or non-physical programs implemented in the village during COP. The presence of the overseas students in their villages made them learn cultural, language, and religion diversities. Even though, languages were the barrier for them to communicate with the foreign students, but they treated those students as if they were their own children. The villagers hope that this program will be continued.

Noodle is a popular food product and widely consumed by the people in Indonesia. The world of commerce knows noodles in a variety of products Because the main ingredients are wheat flour, tapioca flour or rice flour, then the greatest nutritional content in noodles and processed products is carbohydrates. Foods consumed with unbalanced nutritional content, which are high in fat/oil, high carbohydrate, high salt, and low in fiber. The impact that occurs with food with unbalanced nutrition, for the long term is the emergence of degenerative diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases such as heart and hypertension, and cancer and others. The main objective is to increase knowledge and understanding of the villagers of Sei Asem regarding the processing of healthy noodles based on vegetables. Specific Objectives To help improve the knowledge of villagers to process healthy noodles made from vegetables. Attempts to raise awareness of the villagers about the importance of processing food based on the healthy life of the household. Attempts to improve the health status of the community in the village of Sei Asam Method of Implementation of Community Partnership Program activities by way of counseling, training and mentoring. The results obtained from this activity is the increasing knowledge of the villagers about the benefits of Sawi vegetable, processing of sawi vegetables into noodles and one of the efforts to increase the consumption of balanced nutrition that can increase immunity.

Societal Context

Virtually all engineering education organizations from around the world agree on the critical awareness of the societal context of engineering for graduating engineers. Service learning is one viable way that can bring about students’ awareness of their role in society. However, the body of literature addressing service learning as a pedagogy and strategic ways of implementing it in the already-full engineering curricula, as well as its assessment is relatively small. This paper describes a concise engineering service-learning component in a typical heat transfer course for mechanical engineering students. The service-learning component was used to probe the students’ ability to a) articulate the societal context of engineering, b) explain the importance of pro-active community service, and demonstrate an inclination to continue such service in the future, c) exhibit an appreciation of communication with non-engineers and finally, d) challenge some of the students’ stereotypes regarding other members of the community. Reflections were conducted by the students when answering a set of carefully-phrased questions addressing the above four issues. The responses of all students were analyzed as explained in this paper. The recorded benefits of service learning are described and can be expected from similar service-learning components in other engineering courses.

Recent calls to reform engineering education place emphasis on applied math and science within the broader context of globalization, economics, the environment, and society. This broad and complex challenge necessitates the investigation of new interdisciplinary education approaches for engineering education. This paper presents a formal approach for developing engineering students as global citizens. The 360 Degree Model for Educating Socially Responsible Global Citizens (360 Global Ed model) presented herein includes a framework for foundational theory, educational environment, academic coursework, and outcomes. At the core of the emerging model is an international service learning experience called the Village Network. The Village Network provides an interdisciplinary educational program that combines classroom learning with authentic international field experiences. The program responds to the demands for integrating technical and social domains in a multi-disciplined, globally sensitive paradigm. The multi-disciplined team approached addresses both internal outcomes of self mastery and motivation that propel individuals to engage as socially responsible global citizens and external outcomes of technical and social knowledge and skills to include sustainability, teaming, and leadership. This paper establishes the need for a global imperative for engineering education and provides a background on globalization, social responsibility and service learning. It describes the 360 degree model for educating socially responsible global citizens and provides pilot assessment results through a mixed methods approach.

Purpose Future speech-language pathologists are often unprepared in their academic training to serve the communicative and cognitive needs of older adults with dementia. While negative attitudes toward older adults are prevalent among undergraduate students, service learning has been shown to positively affect students' attitudes toward older adults. TimeSlips is an evidence-based approach that has been shown to improve health care students' attitudes toward older adults. The purpose of this study is to explore the change in attitudes in speech-language pathology students toward older adults using TimeSlips in service learning. Method Fifty-one students participated in TimeSlips service learning with older adults and completed the Dementia Attitude Scale (DAS) before and after service learning. In addition, students completed a reflection journal. The DAS data were analyzed using nonparametric statistics, and journal entries were analyzed using a qualitative analysis approach. Results The service learners exhibited a significant increase in positive attitude as indexed on the DAS. The reflective journal entries supported the positive change in attitudes. Conclusions A noticeable attitude shift was indexed in reflective journals and on the DAS. TimeSlips is an evidence-based, patient-centered approach well suited to address challenges in the preparation of Communication Sciences and Disorders students to work with the growing population of older adults.

Exchanger Tube

The current study experimentally investigates the heat transfer augmentation on the novel axial corrugated heat exchanger tube in which the spring tape is introduced. Air (Pr = 0.707) is used as a working fluid. In order to augment the thermohydraulic performance, a corrugated tube with inserts is offered. The experimental study is further extended by varying the important parameters like spring ratio (y = 1.5, 2.0, 2.5) and Reynolds number (Re = 10 000–52 000). The angular pitch between the two neighboring corrugations and the angle of the corrugation is kept constant through the experiments at β = 1200 and α = 600 respectively, while two different corrugations heights (h) are analyzed. While increasing the corrugation height and decreasing the spring ratio, the impact of the swirling effect improves the thermal performance of the system. The maximum thermal performance is obtained when the corrugation height is h = 0.2 and spring ratio y = 1.5. Eventually, correlations for predicting friction factor (f) and Nusselt number (Nu) are developed.
