IntroductionAddressing "Sustainability" is an overarching challenge for the 21st century, requiring engineersto play a critical role. In the US, undergraduate degree programs that directly attend tosustainability are of two types: (1) interdisciplinary programs that do not grant engineering degreesand (2) environmental engineering programs that are vital but do not entirely address the holisticnotion of sustainability.

In addition, Someinnovation programs require more resources and support to help students turn their ideas intoviable enterprises or businesses, which is another reason why many undergraduate programs needto be more effective and sustainable [1]. For example, a program might provide financial supportfor student projects but without mentoring, business development assistance, or networkingopportunities. It may be challenging for undergraduate students in some programs to continuedeveloping and building their ideas once the program is done. Hence, it requires committedleadership
