Working on this research project was an incredible experience, especially as a Birmingham native. I was able to learn more about my city, both the problems and the potential, and about the role that civil engineers and urban planners have in improving the quality of life for residents. This research gave me hands-on educational experience, applying what I have learned in class to my community. Learning about sustainable development through classes and research with the Civil Engineering Department has prepared me for future work as a civil servant in Birmingham or beyond.

Theprimary goals of this program, which was implemented during Fall Semester 2009, are: • to help alleviate engineering student demand for textbooks borrowed through ILL by placing these titles on reserve; and • to increase access to high demand engineering

The learningcommunity aspect means that students feel that they have shared academic goals and interestswith their peers, and are able to feel supported academically, socially and personally by thosethat they work with (Tinto, 1997).IdentityAnother construct related to a sense of belonging is identity (Antonsich, 2010). Identity relates tohow students view themselves as a member of a particular community and can be defined as“how students see themselves as powerful thinkers and doers of a specific subject” (Godwin,Potvin, Hazari, & Lock, 2016, p314).
