with Pitt’s core compe- tencies of research and education, Sanchez has built up Pitt Hydroponics in Homewood, founded Con- stellation Energy Inventor labs for K-12 students, and re-created the Mascaro Center’s Teach the Teacher sustainability program for science educators in the region. As a teacher he designed and created the Sustainability capstone course which has annually partnered with community stakeholders to address sustainability challenges at all scales. Past projects have in- cluded evaluating composting stations in Wilkinsburg, studying infrastructure resilience in Homewood, enabling community solar in PA, improving energy efficiency in McCandless Township, and improving

They have participated in various variety activities, including senior design projects, Engineering Design Day, undergraduate and graduate research assistantships, NASA and BP-AE summer internships, and other program events. • Capstone design projects: The program has coordinated and completed 9 NASA-centric senior design projects with 10 more ongoing projects (7 sponsored by NASA MSFC, 7 by FSGC, 2 by JPL Psyche, and others). 87 graduating seniors participate in these projects as they work on real-world, practice-oriented engineering design topics with supervision by NASA engineers and professional practitioners over two

developing as a CoP. While CS educationresearchers have shown concern that CoP was not a viable theory for discussing traditional formsof higher education [6] subcommunities such as those defined by specific courses in CS highereducation (e.g., capstone course development teams, service learning programs in computing)have been investigated using the CoP approach. In this study, the scholarship program serves asa sub-population of the department situated within the department and with access to nationaland local activity beyond the typical student experience.Utilizing this theory, the notions of identity and learning are intertwined—as Margulieux, Dornand Searle [7] put it, “learning is identity construction.” (p.216). In this case, the notion
