How do engineering students understandhow to work in these organizations that historically have not been part of traditionalengineering career pathways – “The Road Less Travelled”? This paper presents a conceptualmodel for understanding, partnering, and building relationships between engineering teamsand NGOs, organizations that rarely figure in the employment landscape of engineering. Itproposes that sustainable community development (SCD) projects require a level ofembeddedness in communities, engagement, continuity and logistical maturity that mostengineering schools with community-engagement programs are ill equipped to provide bythemselves but that in partnership

Lowerrepresentation of URMs in STEM can be attributed to a variety of factors including, a lack ofinstitutional commitment, a lack of representation throughout students’ upbringing, ineffectivecultural recruitment/outreach efforts, educational discrepancies throughout PK-12, and socialexpectations, among others.
