Engineering Service Learning

University of Colorado at Boulder - CO, Colorado

Students design assistive technology based on requests submitted by people with needs from the Developmental Disabilities Center and the community at large. Mechanical engineering students created the Breathe Better Bus to teach children about smoking, allergies, asthma, air pollution, and lung diseases. CU students designed the interactive learning station on board a remodeled school bus that will now start its tour to 12 schools in the Denver metropolitan area.

Campus Compact is such a wonderful force for progress in academic service-learning. I really think that we would be nowhere near where we are today in higher education without your efforts."
