Dr. Ken Vollmar, computer science department head, co-authored a chapter in the book “Service-Learning in Information Sciences.” The chapter is entitled “Some Worked Better than Others: Experience with a Variety of Service-Learning Projects.”
In the chapter abstract, Vollmar wrote: “For a number of years, we have incorporated service-learning into our computer science undergraduate curriculum through software engineering course projects. Although students benefit from participation, project outcomes have been mixed. The number of causes of project failure is relatively small but difficult to recognize and predict at project start.”
The book will be published by IEEE press July.
