Abstract

Service learning subjects are very different from conventional engineering subjects, which combine both learning and service components. In general, service learning is of key objectives to raise students’ awareness of the underprivileged in the society and to apply the learnt knowledge in real-life through community service projects. This paper presents the experience of offering a service learning subject to engineering students with the primary intention to facilitate students' learning through direct interactions with the underprivileged.
