服務學習課程是一個相當優良的「學以致用」平台。
服務學習課程帶領學生前往真實的場域，學生不僅須要完整地理解服務對象的設計需求，並且也要充分發揮想像力及專業知識解決設計問題，進而共同提出具有設計創意與實踐可行性的執行方案。課程的學習成果是要求學生動手實作與施工，從規劃、設計到實作，以團隊合作的方式實踐規劃設計，而不是停留在天馬行空的想像內容而已。
服務學習課程的要求能夠激發出學生對於設計的熱情，認真構思設計與學習專業實務，實作完成之後會獲得極大的成就感。課程的經費補助能夠讓教師邀請優秀的業師教導學生設計實務，與購買實現設計想法的材料。學習成果使得教師更有信心地再次帶領學生一起探索新的設計可能性，「教學相長」的意義完全體現於服務學習的課程當中。
Service-Learning courses are an excellent platform for applying what students have learned.
This course create a chance to let students step into real-world settings where they must not only fully understand the design needs of their service recipients but also utilize their imagination and professional knowledge to solve design problems. Together, they propose executable plans that are both creatively designed and practically feasible. The learning outcomes of the courses require students to engage in hands-on implementation and construction. From planning and design to execution, students work in teams to carry out their design plans, rather than just imagining lofty ideas.
The demands of Service-Learning courses can ignite students’ passion for design, encouraging them to seriously think through designs and learn professional practices. Completing their projects gives them a great sense of accomplishment. Funding for this course allows teachers to invite outstanding professionals to teach practical design skills and to purchase materials necessary to realize design ideas. The successful learning outcomes give teachers the confidence to lead students in exploring new design possibilities, fully embodying the principle of “teaching and learning grow together” within the Service-Learning curriculum.
