摘要：A sense of professional social responsibility is a key quality for engineers of the 21st century. Community Engaged Learning (CEL) is an excellent way to develop social responsibility (SR) in students. But, there is a need to better understand how different types CEL experiences impact SR development. Recently, a psychological framework and survey has been created that addresses how SR develops in engineers. We put these SR tools to the test, along with some other measures, to see how a short-term international CEL experience impacted the students’ SR development. This study was of an exploratory nature to see how to best work with the new psychological framework and other measures of SR. All indicators showed that the short term international CEL had a positive impact on SR development and the SR tools proved to be useful in interpreting and visualizing the impact on students. Our future work aims to conduct many studies like this, to see if we can understand how different types of CEL relate to development of different areas of SR in students.
