. Hope for those overlooked by engineers, and hope for academics to rejuvenate interest in engineering education, research, and practice. At University X multiple international sustainable development programs focused on developing communities have coalesced into the D80 Center, focused on providing hope to the 80% of the world’s population poorly served by engineered goods, services, and infrastructure. Based on ten years of experience, the programs clearly resonate with a more diverse student body and produce more well-rounded, global-minded engineers, as compared to traditional programs. Future obstacles include dealing with the demand of such programs with limited faculty, staff, and financial support

The RET teachers consider engineering concepts includingwater absorption, mass and weight of the roof, cost efficiency, and thermal conductivity for thedesign exercises. After they’ve designed the roof, the teachers are prompted to amend the designto be usable on an inclined roof.

looking at student support through this lens is that the MCCS provides a way todeconstruct student support and identify the underlying experiences. This multipronged approachis advantageous because, while specific interventions may not be transferable, students’experiences can transcend contexts within and across institutions. For example, instead ofinvestigating the impact of peer mentoring programs—which are not often identical—this lensallows us to investigate the impact of the overall perception of interactions that students havewith other students outside of the classroom.Research Design& RationaleThe development of the survey instrument is being carried out following best practices asdefined by DeVellis [2] and Gall, Gall & Borg [3
