andethnicities. It may behoove schools to tap into the momentum of increased service learning inconjunction with humanitarian engineering education to engage diverse students. Understandingthat the grand challenges and applying them as frameworks for curriculum development is a keyway to integrate disciplines and enrich STEM literacy skills. Curriculum development under theframework of these grand challenges provides opportunities for students to engage in long-termprojects across disciplines and also provides a university-wide forum for professors tocollaborate on projects. Engineering educators must listen to the call of students who now morethan ever engage in service-learning activities and have a heightened awareness of a globalissues directly

One of the individual courses in the CEE is Structures I (CIEG 314, an introduction tostructural analysis) which has some common topics as those discussed in the projects of the EAPactivities. The ambassadors have shown a better performance in the course and the average of thefinal grades in the course, as shown in Fig. 6, validates this assessment.

This greatly enhanced communication between freshmenand their course faculty. To enhance opportunities for the creation of academic and socialintegration, an approach that is of increasing popularity in colleges is the use of learningcommunities. Small groups of students take several classes together to enhance academic andsocial integration of students, and strengthen their cognitive skills.6Lower rated categories included the content of the Math Review sessions which was biased moreto the Pre-Calculus students, although many were beginning Calculus 1 or 2.

Non–profitorganizations and companies have addressed this call to action by developing co–curricular andextra–curricular opportunities for students. Many targeted early learning stages, with thedevelopment of outreach activities, after–school programs, and summer camps, in an effort toincrease the post-secondary pipeline with prospective low-income and underrepresentedstudents. Some of these efforts have generated positive outcomes, including the implementationof CS curriculum. Several focused on creating spaces for underrepresented student populations,in an effort
