To generate student projects that effectively inform tasks on a main project (MP), and enable students to participate in the development of a solution to a problem that affects user satisfaction with renewable energy solutions. This research contains a reflection on the mapping of project’s requirements to learning outcomes of the engineering development project (EDP) paper. Alignment to the goals and learning outcomes of the course will be discussed as well as broader implications for service learning and the potential for the project to be adapted to meet broader institutional objectives such as sustainability will be presented.
In conclusion, this paper describes the mapping of the
graduate attributes and the learning outcomes in student
projects to objectives of the MP, reflects on the achievement of these learning outcomes in the context of a project that fully explores all of them, and describes the service-learning potential for this type of student project.
