SERVICE-LEARNING: 'Docendo discimus' (by teaching, we learn) (seneca the younger)
We have introduced a service-learning dimension designed to integrate physics, education, and civic engagement. The coordinated system of activities links the courses to local community efforts in pre-college education. Students sit in science classes, tutor students, and help run experiments.
