For AY2017-18, the engineering FYSfaculty team included project ideas with greater potential for global reach. Thus, in response to ajoint UN/IEEE Humanitarian Technology Challenge (HTC) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)for food security, a service learning project was initiated in order to produce a working model of asolar-powered food dehydrator which could be used to address hunger in communities far removedfrom our local one [2]. In addition to zero hunger, other SDGs included no poverty, affordable andclean energy, and good health and well-being [3-4]. The United

who might consider the opportunities of anengineering career, a collaboration was established in North Dakota that allowed thedevelopment of a pathway for Native American students from Tribally ControlledColleges / Universities, TCU’s, to obtain an engineering degree at North Dakota StateUniversity, NDSU. The details of this program are covered in another publication [4].This collaboration functions across the entirety of North Dakota, which means distancebetween collaborators can be in excess of 300 miles. And for nearly half of theacademic year this distance is made more tortuous by some of the most challengingweather in the lower 48 states. As a result technology was brought to bear to find waysto allow students to begin their journey on

Cohort classes for these groups include MATH 1110,(Algebra II); ENGR 2100 (an engineering-flavored first-year experience seminar course), andENGR 1002 (a problem-solving course designed to complement MATH 1110), along with oneor two general education courses. ENGR 2100 is designed to expose students to effective studyhabits, time management skills, and to help them recognize and implement the habits needed topursue engineering, computer science, or engineering technology as a major of study. Thecourse makes heavy use of material from Studying Engineering: A Road Map to a RewardingCareer [4

They also learn that solutions to similar challenges in the U.S.may, or may not, be suitable in another country.Our research-based institution in the southeastern United States offers a three-creditinternational studies course to first year engineering students, followed by a two-week earlysummer trip abroad. The course contains learning objectives in cultural awareness, global aspectsof the engineering profession, the impact of politics, technology, society, education and theenvironment on engineering practice in various countries, and the importance of culturaldifferences in the practice of engineering.Students keep
