This paper presents the positive experience of facilitating over 300 community-engaged engineering projects at an Irish higher-education institution. The projects are framed by a research orientation, a commitment to civic engagement, and building university–community partnerships, city–university partnerships, and partnerships with other official agencies, so that community users can provide real learning problems and contexts for students and researchers and benefit from the results. The paper highlights how well the outlined approach fits with the ideas of engaged scholarship and civic professionalism, and facilitates sustainable development. Students recognise the long-term value of engaging with community partners, understanding their future role in the community as engineers, reinforcing the idea that their work can respond directly to real needs in the community, while promoting the sustainability agenda at the same time. The approach presented in this study will not only enable the development of future models for embedding sustainability in engineering programs, but will also equip future engineers with transferable skills to ensure that sustainable development goes beyond university courses and is practiced every day.

“…The qualitative technique was chosen because it allows for detailed descriptions of the meaning of occurrences and makes identifying the kind of evidence influenced by change easier (Aflisia et al, 2019;Atmowardoyo, 2018;Yanti & Syahrani, 2022). A comprehensive review of the literature aids in the evaluation and understanding of theme areas (Lovell, 2018;Natarajarathinam et al, 2021;Ramírez-Montoya et al, 2022;Santos et al, 2019;Torres-Carrión et al, 2018).

The integration of local wisdom in the field of education has become a hot topic in Indonesia. Hence, there is an opportunity for the implementation of local wisdom in learning. This research is a type of qualitative research with data collection techniques using the library research method. This study aimed to find the implementation of local wisdom in learning through a literature review. The results findings show that there are some benefits of integrating local wisdom based in School, especially to equip the elements of profile Pancasila characteristic in classes. The chance of using local wisdom based in school is also still wide open due to much research on the exploration of local wisdom still not being conducted in class yet, and some of them still need improvement and development. Furthermore, the implications of this research tend to convenience further research to do an improvement and development of using local wisdom based on learning context. Some exploration might be can interfere with by any model of learning or approach or methods, to increase students' profile Pancasila.

“…As found in the answers to the first question, a global understanding of the problem of rural depopulation on the part of the students was noted. They were aware of the different aspects that needed to be considered, in order to address this problem; a fundamental aspect to be able to propose complete responses that cover all aspects and that can be really successful [23].…”

“…And an agricultural engineer designs crops to provide food and infrastructures that develop the rural environment and improve rural living conditions. This perception is also not helped by the high number of concepts that have to be explained on technical university courses [22], generally of a very varied nature that are hardly conducive to focusing this type of activity on a specific social issue [23,24].…”

“…The first four questions were formulated to discover their opinions of student learning, fundamentally determining whether they had acquired the academic and personal competencies established in the S-LP. The other two questions sought to ascertain the personal opinions of the teachers on the S-LP and their own learning during that time, with the aim of verifying the level of social awareness on rural depopulation that the S-LP generated, not only for the students, but also for the other actors, which is one of the central positive aspects of an S-LP teaching experience [23,24].…”

Educating Future Agricultural Engineers at the University of Burgos, Spain, through a Service-Learning Project on Rural Depopulation and Its Social Consequences

A Service-Learning Project (S-LP) is a teaching experience through which the concepts covered during an educational course can practically be applied to address a given social problem. It is therefore a useful teaching methodology to bring courses closer to the real world. An S-LP experience is reported in this paper that was conducted with students of agricultural engineering to address the problem of rural depopulation, through the design of agri-food buildings for industries, and economic activities that help to maintain a stable population. After the S-LP, a survey was administered to both students and teachers, to assess the success of this teaching experience. The responses of the students showed not only an awareness of the social problem that was addressed, but also a critical spirit that led them to seek the best possible answer, and a global vision of the issue. It helped them to reflect on all of its facets to arrive at a way of engaging with the social problem. Importantly, the students were able to reflect upon how engineers can also serve society through their technical knowledge. The teachers indicated that the S-LP motivated the students on the course, while enabling them to successfully learn the concepts, and to develop independent study skills searching for information. In general, an S-LP is an experience that the teachers in this study would recommend and that could be especially relevant for universities assuming a role as a social entity to heighten the visibility of social problems and needs.
