Overview

By integrating real-world problem-solving with academic theory, service learning offers students the opportunity to engage in projects that address the needs of local communities while honing their creative and design skills. This learning approach fosters collaboration, critical thinking, and innovation, allowing students to apply design principles in practical contexts. Through these experiences, students gain valuable insights into user-centered design, sustainability, and cultural sensitivity, which are essential for crafting effective and meaningful solutions. The combination of service learning and creative design benefits communities while preparing students to become responsible, forward-thinking professionals. Utilizing Service Learning Practices for Creative Design Improvements examines teaching experiences from around the globe that integrate service learning within the design disciplines. It explores the process of using design as a tool for effective social change. This book covers topics such as higher education, public space, and design thinking, and is a useful resource for architects, civil engineers, business owners, academicians, and researchers.
