). Ms. Sandekian joined the Engineering for Developing Communities Program (now known as the Mortenson Center in Engineering for Developing Communities) in spring 2004, just as the first EDC graduate track was approved. With MCEDC, her main duties have included student advising and academic program development. In ad- dition to her management role in the Mortenson Center, Ms. Sandekian has taught an Engineering Projects course around the theme of appropriate technology and conducted research on social entrepreneurship and sustainable community development in Nepal in 2008. Ms. Sandekian earned a Specialist in Education (Ed. S.) degree in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from the University of Northern

Her current interests include undergraduate engineering research and education. Dr. Marincel Payne is co-leading an Undergraduate Research Community to support students learning through research, undergraduate re- search to remove stormwater pollutants via engineered treatment wetlands, development of courses and research related to appropriate technology with strong emphasis on social sustainability, and frameworks for integrating open-ended problems through students’ curricula.Dr. Irene M.B.

The first is that students must receive sufficient training through coursematerial before engaging in the service. The second is that instructors must engage students inconversation about their service. The last is that students must reflect on their

In the United States (U.S.), the number of ABET accredited environmentalengineering undergraduate degree programs and student enrollments have grown substantiallyover the past 30 years. These students are part of the pipeline into

currently teaches in Humanitarian Engineering at CSM. Greg earned his bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering with a minor in Global Poverty and Practice from UC Berkeley where he acquired a passion for using engineering to facilitate developing communities’ capacity for success. He earned his master’s degree in Structural Engineering and Risk Analysis from Stanford University. His PhD work at CU Boulder focused on how student’s connections of social responsibility and engineering change throughout college as well as how engineering service is valued in employment and supported in the workplace. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Environmental Considerations in Engineering

Without Borders and Engineers for a SustainableWorld, as well as university-specific opportunities. Student interest and involvement in theseprograms has been explosive. Yet, partly due to the grassroots development of many of theseprograms and to their rapid rise, there are scant findings on the impacts of these programs onengineering education. Preliminary findings suggest that students participating in PBSL early incollege are retained in engineering at higher levels, women participate in voluntary PBSLopportunities at higher levels than their representation in engineering overall, PBSL fulfills avariety of ABET learning outcomes, and PBSL enhances student preparation to practiceengineering design. The community impacts of these projects are

Ethan has traveled with the group to the Yoro District of Honduras three times. In this time the group has partnered with a number of villages to improve the reliability of their water distribution systems.
