. Hope for those overlooked by engineers, and hope for academics to rejuvenate interest in engineering education, research, and practice. At University X multiple international sustainable development programs focused on developing communities have coalesced into the D80 Center, focused on providing hope to the 80% of the world’s population poorly served by engineered goods, services, and infrastructure. Based on ten years of experience, the programs clearly resonate with a more diverse student body and produce more well-rounded, global-minded engineers, as compared to traditional programs. Future obstacles include dealing with the demand of such programs with limited faculty, staff, and financial support

This may negatively impact their level of participation in the engineering/computerscience portion of the bootcamp.

Institutions of higher education have received increasing criticism forattracting students to campus, only to leave many students feeling they don’t belong and lookingfor the exit shortly after arriving. Many factors contribute to a student’s sense of belonging,which studies have shown has a positive impact on retention as well as mental health [1].Significantly, this has been found to be true of not just traditional students, but also ofunderrepresented students who are first generation, low income, and racially minoritized [2].
