The ETHOS (Engineers for Technical Opportunities for Service-Learning) Scholars project awards scholarships to primarily underrepresented minorities and women undergraduate engineering students in all disciplines. Through its emphasis on Sustainable Innovation Learning Communities, this scholars program seeks to: i) provide both the necessary mission, community, and support needed to increase enrollment of underrepresented minorities and women into engineering; ii) increase retention of this population through graduation; iii) pilot integrated sustainable engineering curriculum which can serve as a national model for similar practice elsewhere; and iv) enhance relationships with employers seeking graduates preparedto meet the most critical national and international need for engineering in a resource constrained world with global environmental consequences of technology development and usage.

ETHOS（工程师服务学习技术机会）学者项目向所有学科中代表性不足的少数民族和女性本科工程学生提供奖学金。通过其对可持续创新学习社区的重视，该学者计划旨在：一）提供必要的使命，社区和支持，以增加代表性不足的少数民族和妇女进入工程学的入学率;二）通过毕业增加这一人口的保留;三）试点综合可持续工程课程，可作为其他地方类似做法的国家模式;以及iv）加强与雇主的关系，寻找毕业生，以满足最关键的国家和国际工程需求在一个资源有限的世界与技术开发和使用的全球环境后果。
