engineering design is unclear. The objective of thisresearch is to measure whether students who have service learning experience have a deeperunderstanding of sustainable engineering than their counterparts who do not have servicelearning experience. The research design is comprised of three evaluations: sustainableengineering design, self-efficacy towards sustainable engineering, and epistemological beliefstowards general engineering. Each evaluation will be performed on engineering students at threedifferent institutions which employ varying types of service learning programs; Tufts University,Michigan Technological University, and University of Colorado-Boulder. Students enrolled inthe Civil and Environmental Engineering Senior Design/Capstone
