Economic and technological solutions, political regulations or financial incentives are not enough. We need a fundamental change in the way we think and act.” Irina Bokova, Director - General of UNESCO [1]Sustainability awareness and action are of growing importance for the care and protection ofpeople, societies and cultures; profit, economic feasibility and responsibility; and for theenvironment and life preservation. Engineers have profound impacts on sustainability and itsdevelopment or lack thereof. And thus, it is

Nelson and Fosmire [13] workedwith the engineering technology faculty to examine information literacy standards in a non-technical course in their curriculum.Assessment of efforts to integrate information literacy instruction has been challenging.MacAlpine and Uddin [14] integrated information literacy instruction into all four years of anEngineering Science program but noted that assessment still needed to be more formal andsystemized. Nerz and Ballard [15] collected favorable assessment data from one of theassignments introduced after collaborating with the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineeringdepartment to create scaffolded information literacy assignments over four courses.

Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) [22], an onlineplatform was developed for the purpose of sharing these course materials in the form of coursemodules with GCSP and non-GCSP faculty and administrators from other institutions.Since the target audience and intended purpose for this work is different from that of the MOOC,a separate online platform was identified for materials sharing purposes. Efforts have been madeby others to create platforms for similar purposes. For example, Bhaskaran developed SimCafe, awiki based open platform as a repository of learning modules that focus on the teaching ofsimulation technology [23].

Unlike vocational and technicalacademic institutions, liberal arts institutions provide diverse and comprehensive training ideal forbroad and interdisciplinary programs. As of April 2021, there were 112 ABET accredited BSprograms in Bioengineering/Biomedical Engineering worldwide [1]. The number of liberal artsinstitutions starting and/or exploring science, technology, engineering, and technology (STEM)programs is increasing every year. In 2016 and driven by the positive job outlook for biomedicalengineers between the years 2012 and 2022 (about an increase by 27%) [2], our liberal
