Community Service Projects Integrated into Product Innovation and Management Class

---

Abstract

Since the National Community Service Trust Act of 1993, interest in service learning has been strengthened by the work of numerous national organizations that combine service and educational learning (Bringle & Hatcher, 1996). For example, in Ernest Boyer’s article “Creating the new American college” (1994), he showed concerns that higher education should reconsider its mission to educate students for a life as responsible citizens rather than educate students only for a career. In order to address his concern, service learning with the goal of educating students about their public responsibilities and their roles as citizens has become essential.
