Call for Papers: International Journal for Service Learning in Engineering (IJSLE)

Posted by on October 28, 2005

The International Journal for Service Learning in Engineering (IJSLE) is a new faculty-reviewed electronic journal offered free, semi-annually, over the World Wide Web. The Journal welcomes manuscripts based on original work of students and researchers with a specific focus or implication for service learning in engineering, engineering entrepreneurship in service, or related service learning pedagogy.

With an increasing number of individuals and institutions of higher education becoming involved in service learning and entrepreneurship in service learning, IJSLE is an invaluable resource for students, faculty, practicing engineers and local communities.

With articles relating to the latest design and research pertinent to local communities, the faculty-reviewed articles in each issue provide the reader with timely information related to:

— research into appropriate technologies and solutions for developing community problems
— design solutions for problem specific to developing communities
— engineering entrepreneurship in developing communities
— service learning pedagogy

1) The Journal has issued its first call for papers, due December 30, 2005.

2) The Journal is also seeking faculty members who may wish to serve as a reviewer (or editor) for the Journal.
