MEMOIRS OF SHONAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Vol. 41, No. 1, 2007 * * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 7 * 8 Service Learning for Engineering Students Satsuki TASAKA*, Mitsutoshi ISHIMURA* 2, Hikaru MIZUTANI* 3, Naoyuki FUTAMI* 4, Hiroshi MAIWA* 5, Hirohiko HONDA* 6, Hiroyuki KIMURA* 7 and Masahide KATSUO* 8 When preparing university engineering students for the outside world, it is not only important to fill their heads with academic book knowledge but to also help students learn the proper applications of that knowledge in order to benefit humankind. To understand just what can benefit humankind, students need to interact with various people and discover firsthand the problems that confront modern society. With this in mind, Shonan Institute of Technology (SIT) has developed a community service program that gets students out into the community helping people solve their problems. This educational program is called Service Learning, which basically means learning through public service. This paper describes the details of that program at SIT. Since 1996, SIT has developed courses to help support practical learning through community service. Theory of Volunteer and Community Service are a few of those support courses. In the 2006 curriculum, the university started its original Service Learning program of community service. These programs include technological programs of community service, for example, PC support and making various tools for the handicapped, among many others. Students involved in our program learn the various needs of the community and build important problem-solving skills, while learning engineering ethics. In any community, when young people are active, engaged, and contributing to society, everyone benefits at many levels. * * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 7 * 8 18 10 24 0 1996 111
