from the perspective of systemthinking, and build a full-cycle green engineering design framework that is not limitedto the preparation and development of product materials. On this basis, a fulllife-cycle immersion teaching session is formed from the preparation design ofpolymer raw materials, to the injection molding of polymer products, to the promotiondesign of products, and finally to the recycling and reuse of products[12]. The School of Biotechnology has conducted several experiments in biologyteaching, such as the Biological Laboratory Safety Experiment, in which students willsimulate different levels of biosafety protection and practice biological waste sortingoperations to build awareness of biosafety and environmental

and sustainability engineering space. Each case study has onlinehow-to guides, linked throughout this paper, and could be utilized in environmental orsustainability engineering curricula, classrooms, or laboratory teaching settings. Each case studytargets specific ABET criteria for environmental engineering programs [39]. Many of theseprojects would require purchasing some hardware components for a lab setting, and we willdiscuss each of those in the respective sections as well as successful applications and real-worldexamples that have utilized these types of techniques.Air Quality Detection Using AccelerometerCurrently, air quality is a good marker of engineering for sustainable development given thedirect connections with climate change

community vision with Pitt’s core compe- tencies of research and education, Sanchez has built up Pitt Hydroponics in Homewood, founded Con- stellation Energy Inventor labs for K-12 students, and re-created the Mascaro Center’s Teach the Teacher sustainability program for science educators in the region. As a teacher he designed and created the Sustainability capstone course which has annually partnered with community stakeholders to address sustainability challenges at all scales. Past projects have in- cluded evaluating composting stations in Wilkinsburg, studying infrastructure resilience in Homewood, enabling community solar in PA, improving energy efficiency in McCandless Township, and improving water quality in

-level study. PUIs may have limitations on faculty expertise to teach acrossthe breadth of EnvE related topics due to the limited research capacity of the institution. Thispaper aims to document the distribution of EnvE programs at PUIs and adjacent programs (i.e.Civil Engineering) that may pose an alternative path into EnvE practice for undergraduates.Further, preliminary curricular comparison among EnvE PUI programs is presented to provide arecord of current potential gaps in EnvE as taught at PUIs which lack graduate programs tosupplement specialization and provide additional technical research opportunities on campus forstudents and faculty.2.
