INTEGRATING SERVICE LEARNING PROJECTS INTO TECHNOLOGY COURSES: THE EXPERIENCE OF TWO PROGRAMS

This paper details the experience of integrating service learning projects into technology programs within three universities: The Technology Support and Training program (BTST) at Eberly College of Business and Information Technology (ECOBIT) at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) and the Computer Information Systems (CIS) program within the Math and Computer Science Department at California University of Pennsylvania (CUP). Both departments have implemented policies requiring their students to complete service projects. This study explains the steps that have been undertaken by faculty members at both departments to inquire, select and implement service projects in their technology courses.
