with Pitt’s core compe- tencies of research and education, Sanchez has built up Pitt Hydroponics in Homewood, founded Con- stellation Energy Inventor labs for K-12 students, and re-created the Mascaro Center’s Teach the Teacher sustainability program for science educators in the region. As a teacher he designed and created the Sustainability capstone course which has annually partnered with community stakeholders to address sustainability challenges at all scales. Past projects have in- cluded evaluating composting stations in Wilkinsburg, studying infrastructure resilience in Homewood, enabling community solar in PA, improving energy efficiency in McCandless Township, and improving

Fick et al. (2013) also highlight using project-based learningin civil engineering capstone courses to engage Native American students, showing how place-basededucation promotes academic success and cultural pride. Programs in rural and Indigenous schools havefurther strengthened engineering pathways by incorporating culturally relevant projects. For example,Boz et al.

, Construction Engineering, Construction EngineeringTechnology, etc.) by various departments and colleges (Applied Science, Engineering, Business,Management, etc.). To recognize CM as a STEM field, more specifically an engineering field, thedefinition of “engineering” by Lucas and Dobrijevic as “the application of science andmathematics to solve problems” [9] is considered. While CM students do apply science andmathematics to develop cost estimates and schedules, it should be also noted that successfulconstruction relies on the application of several other engineering concepts including statics,dynamics, structures, hydraulics, and soils analysis. Graduates of CEPs must understand how theseconcepts apply to the construction projects which are undertaken

developing as a CoP. While CS educationresearchers have shown concern that CoP was not a viable theory for discussing traditional formsof higher education [6] subcommunities such as those defined by specific courses in CS highereducation (e.g., capstone course development teams, service learning programs in computing)have been investigated using the CoP approach. In this study, the scholarship program serves asa sub-population of the department situated within the department and with access to nationaland local activity beyond the typical student experience.Utilizing this theory, the notions of identity and learning are intertwined—as Margulieux, Dornand Searle [7] put it, “learning is identity construction.” (p.216). In this case, the notion
