Welcome -  

The International Journal for Service Learning in Engineering (IJSLE) is a peer-reviewed electronic journal offered free, semi-annually, over the World Wide Web. The Journal welcomes manuscripts based on original work of students and researchers with a specific focus or implication for service learning in engineering, engineering entrepreneurship in service, or related service learning pedagogy.

With an increasing number of individuals and institutions of higher education becoming involved in service learning and entrepreneurship in service learning, the IJSLE is an invaluable resources for students, faculty, practicing engineers and local communities. With articles relating to the latest design and research pertinent to local communities, the faculty-reviewed articles in each issue provide the reader with timely information related to:

• Engineering Design Projects as Service
• Engineering Research Projects as Service
• Engineering-Related Entrepreneurial Projects as Service
• Pedagogy in Engineering-Related Service Learning

The Journal seeks to nurture service learning in engineering as a distinct body of knowledge. A primary purpose of the Journal is to foster inquiry into rigorous engineering design and research and to direct those efforts to service-related projects. The examination of cultural appropriateness and its inclusion in design and research efforts is emphasized along with the application of appropriate technologies. Focus is also placed on associated service learning pedagogy and the dissemination of project results.

The Journal will be a forum for disseminating the results of service learning efforts by undergraduate and graduate engineering students from around the world and associated pedagogy.

The Journal will be a repository for information related to design and research projects in service. These projects may either be partially, or wholly, complete with dissemination serving to facilitate continued project development
