AB  -          Enhancing Student Learning and Engagement in Construction                       Course using Service LearningService learning is considered a valuable approach to apply concepts from the higher educationclassroom in real world settings, and has become quite common in some disciplines. Engineeringeducators in the United States are making efforts to incorporate service learning activities andstudy their benefits for student learning and engagement. When classroom instruction isaugmented with an out-of-class experience that provides a defining hands-on experience – formany perhaps their first – the classroom experience itself also takes on a new aura of reality andrelativity. Synergistically, the students emerging from this learning experience will be moreconfident and better prepared for follow-on courses in the curriculum. Taking the basiccomponents of service learning approach, this paper validates an active-based, student-focusedmethodology as a successful means for student achievement, engagement, and mastery oflearning objectives and project outcomes.More specifically, this paper reports on the design and results of an one-year educationalresearch that utilized an engineering course, “Construction Materials”, to implement servicelearning by augmenting instruction with real-world hands-on construction experiences at localjob sites using Habitat for Humanity (HFH) projects. The “Construction Materials" is anintroductory course on behavior and physical properties of basic construction materials in CivilEngineering.Students’ perceptions and learning outcomes based on HFH experience were measured andanalyzed following the research questions that captured: perceived improvement in learningcourse materials while understanding the construction industry; level of interaction andteamwork between and among students, faculty, and peers; and student interpretation of thevalue of student learning for the course – greatest learning experiences and/or challenges.Overall, students reported positive perceptions of the service learning experience and itscontribution to their learning of course concepts. This paper describes the research background,application of service learning components, analysis and evaluation of service learning results,and findings from the research much in detail.
