these humanitarian engineeringprograms is that this may be a way to improve retention of women within engineering.Humanitarian courses, including humanitarian engineering senior design capstones and service-learning study abroad programs, have higher enrollment of women than their traditionalcounterparts. Analyzing the motivations of participants in these programs reveals that womengravitate towards projects that allow them to become a “global professional” and “make adifference” while men want to “make a difference” by working on “exciting immersive real-world projects.” Thus, women seem to prefer projects that make a difference to other peoplewhile men choose work that they personally find to be exciting. However, within the existingresearch

wheresustainability is only in environmental engineering or biology, this minor is open to every students.Undergraduates interested in sustainability can also apply for Experiential Learning in CUAS (EL CUAS).Through EL CUAS, 8 to 10 undergraduates per year work collaboratively in a yearlong program wherethey complete courses, participate in professional development and carry out a project with a sustainabilityor urban agricultural focus. Students selected for the experiential learning (both science and non-sciencemajors) gain valuable project management skills, communication skills and the ability to scientificallyanalyze project data. All groups are also required to design and build technology to solve a sustainabilityor urban agriculture problem. Thus

particularly beneficial to those with good time management skills and asense of high self-efficacy. As students and teachers were thrust into the world of distancelearning due to the global pandemic, high quality distance education that supports everyonebecame vital to the success of students.Course ContextThe 4-credit hour course that provides context for this study is a junior-level engineeringthermodynamics course based on mechanical engineering thermodynamics (as opposed to achemical engineering approach to thermodynamics) with some additional biological andbiomedical applications. This course itself has been offered annually at the Ohio State Universitysince 2012. A semester-long team design service-learning project was introduced to the coursein

EngineeringAbstractBiological and Agricultural Engineering (BAE) programs across the U.S. are aimed at teachingengineering principles and concepts of biology as they apply to both agricultural and biologicalsystems. There is a clear definition of what the undergraduate curricula should instill in studentsprior to entering into the workforce as defined by the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology, Inc. However, individual institutions determine the exact knowledge conceptswithin the coursework offered for students to be successful and prepared for their careers. Thisresearch project was motivated by the need to differentiate between the BAE programknowledge areas and a newly formed Environmental Engineering program in a southwesternUniversity’s Civil
