Most of the literature confirms that the focusin higher education in the science and engineering fields is on the graduate population, where theprofessor serves as a mentor to the graduate student [7]. However, if the goal of increasing femaleand minority participation in the science and engineering fields is to be achieved, the focus of thenation’s mentorship programs must begin as early as possible at the undergraduate levels.The Florida International University (FIU) Program of Industry Supported Mentorships (PRISM)uses industrial support in the form of "minds" and role models as a way of developing a viableundergraduate mentorship program. PRISM addresses the

Feedback from Broader SE Community: While individual international authors did representvarious perspectives of SE education, it was still important to involve the broader SE educationalcommunity in a meaningful way. This was done in a number of ways: i) GRCSE related papers were presented at many international SE and Engineering Education conferences that regularly attracted educators from around the world. Conferences included the International Council on Systems Engineering - International Symposium (INCOSE-IS), the Conference on Systems Engineering Research (CSER

For a balance between expenses and income to occur, all income ispresumed to be reinvested at an interest rate equivalent to the IRR. That is, all returns onfunds remain internally invested in the project, such that there is no unrecovered balanceat the project’s termination. The IRR is the interest rate at which: EW (receipts) = EW (expenses), (1) Page 6.883.1Proceedings of the 2001 American Society for Engineering Education Annual

These include the EWBChallenge, an embedded first year coursework program, and the Undergraduate ResearchProgram, providing service-learning opportunities for later year individual or group projects.These represent the extremes of an undergraduate degree, leaving a significant gap in theprogram for a student interested in humanitarian engineering.

Engineers will be called upon to work on internationalprojects, such as those relating to environmental crises. In a 2008 National Science Foundationsummit on why engineers need to be educated as global citizens, several “urgent” globalproblems were listed that need engineers with global training. These problems included thepopulation of space, global climate change, sustainable development of the under-developedregions of the world, terrorism, and outsourcing of manufacturing jobs.4,5In order to work on challenges
