Resumen: Service-learning (SL) helps engineering students to be involved in community activities
and to be motivated by their studies. Although several reviews and research studies
have been published about SL, it is not widespread in sciences and engineering at
the university level. The purpose of this research is to analyze the different community
services or projects where SL is implemented by engineering students and faculty and to
identify the procedures that were usually implemented to assess SL-based courses and
activities. Assessment could be considered as the evaluation of a specific module and
the engineering competencies, the evaluation of the effectiveness of the SL program, the
assessment of the participation of the student in those programs, and the assessment
of whether students have achieved certain outcomes or gained specific skills. We
conducted a systematic review with a search in three scientific databases: Scopus,
Science Direct, and ERIC educational database to analyze the assessment methods and
what that assessment covers. From 14,107 publications related to SL, 120 documents
were analyzed to inform the conclusions of this study. We found that SL is widely used in
several universities as experiential education, and it is considered an academic activity.
The most widely used assessment technique is a survey to evaluate the engagement
and attitudes of students and, to a lesser extent, teamwork presentations.
