arestudents who identify issues with courses and want to have more courses that integratesustainable practices supposed to encourage or force classes to be updated?As my role changed from undergraduate to graduate, I began to see the challenges from theprofessor's viewpoint, where in R1 institutions, research is more highly valued than teaching.Advocating for student voices on campus must come from a loud group of students who canforce or encourage these changes and show them the success of pilot cases within and outsidetheir institution. As I became involved with EOP and learned about the ASEE mini-grantprogram, I met not only professors and deans dedicated to sustainability but also saw a way tolegitimize this push in a way universities understand

As anapplication of collecting human-centered information, students learn about community needsassessments and evaluate the culture and community-focused content of the assessmentchecklists provided in the Sphere Handbook for humanitarian response [16]. As a follow-upassignment, students are asked to create and complete a community needs assessment on theirown, either for a location in which they live or, as best as they are able, for an internationalcommunity that is significantly different from their own.Discipline-Specific Communication & Teamwork ModulesCommunication and teamwork are acknowledged by the EOP framework to be necessary skillsfor designers to be effective advocates for sustainable practices.

develop the EOP initiative began with a qualitative study to understand the barriersand opportunities for integrating environmental responsibility (ER) in higher education. At thattime, The Lemelson Foundation was strategically focused on ER and “inventing green” vs.EOP’s now broader scope of sustainability and related professional skills across all engineeringeducation. In 2017, The Lemelson Foundation commissioned a study through asustainability-focused consultancy, Alula Consulting [12], where two experts in sustainability,sustainable design, and engineering education were hired to conduct, analyze, and report thefollowing specific objectives: ● Identify best practices. ● Determine best ways to introduce and maximize ER integration in
