component and, ingeneral, nothing has come “off the plate” in terms of more traditional content nor have we addedtime or credit hours to most curricula. Rajabipour and Radlinska put it well in 2009 when theywrote: “As engineers are greatly responsible for development of infrastructure and technologiesnecessary for a sustainable world, engineering curricula must address sustainability and preparestudents for designing engineering systems with long term social, economic, and environmentalbenefits” [1]. This need for better educational methods and tools is further reinforced by the factthat sustainability is at the forefront of engineering needs as shown by the National Academy ofEngineering, the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge, and ABET outcomes

First, just over half of the respondentswere recruited to the team through invitation by a friend who was already on the team, thuslimiting membership to those in the network of current or former team members. Second, themore challenging part of diversifying SELECT is the retention of students that choose to initiallyparticipate in team activities.

Students had to utilize manufacturing methods andtechniques to create such a system for the future construction of manufacturing plants in industry.In order to achieve this, the amine material, Polyethylenimine (PEI), was used as adsorbent for thecapture system in the project. PEI has the capability to bind to CO2 at room temperature andpressure and then release it when heated. The PEI was impregnated onto a porous material, fumedsilica, in order to increase its surface area and adsorption capability. Air is passed over thisadsorbent mixture using a vacuum

. “Among college experiences, three experiences are significantly related tochange in engineering identity. Students with greater concern for a career where they can workfor social change, students who receive more mentoring and support from faculty, and studentswho experience more negative cross-racial interactions also indicate developing a stronger senseof engineering identity” [19, p. 22]. The notion that a stronger identity as an engineer is formed ifa woman is singled out in class or clubs repeatedly seems counterintuitive. However the studypoints to the fact that as a woman or URM students are singled out the uniqueness of theiridentity is reaffirmed, among those students who persisted.

Some of these practices include the cultivation of corn,manioc, peanut, squash, watermelon, and beans among others [3].
