organization was similar to EWB-USA,participants were directly asked if they were involved with an organization or program similar toEWB-USA and if so, to write in the name of the program or organization. The authors readthrough individuals’ responses, and those who listed humanitarian engineering serviceorganizations or educational programs with a humanitarian engineering focus (e.g. Engineers fora Sustainable World, Bridges to Prosperity) were added to the EWB-like group.In order to check whether or not increased learning gains were due to active participation in aprofessional engineering organization rather than humanitarian engineering participation, we rantwo additional tests of comparison. The first test compared only EWB-like respondents

Page 20.30.5We suspect that, regardless of whether or not the entire cohort of students participating in thesustainability service-learning project chooses to return to Chile for their full year abroad, all ofthose students will have a distinct advantage over their peers who have not participated in anyshort-term programs. The assessment surveys that we are developing as part of this activity willhelp us document, analyze and report differences in comfort levels between different cohortswhen exposed to a foreign culture.Our fourth activity is a specialized

The founders of UIUC’s Junior Enterprisebelieve that engineering students need more
