In one class, the students calculated the carbon footprint for a highway project.In another class, they students perform the life cycle analysis (LCA) for another constructionproject. The paper describes in detail the sustainability component of the design. This study willassist other engineering and engineering technology educators to include sustainability designcomponent in their corresponding courses.BackgroundWhile sustainability was arguably a niche concern prior to the 1990s, it is a topic of everydayconversation today.
