Firstly, faculty areoften unfamiliar with basic sustainability concepts (e.g. it’s not just about globalwarming) and information (e.g. the UN SDGs, the IPCC). Secondly, faculty have notonly not been trained in these topics, but also have not been trained in teaching themeffectively, and they do not generally have the time required to learn that independently.Thirdly, it is not usually obvious how these topics can be sensibly integrated into variouscourses without appearing to be extraneous add-ons.

, the PtD idea has gradually gained acceptance in the U.S. [3]. However,the traditional curriculum offered by civil engineering programs in the United States does notintegrate PtD concepts [4]. It has been suggested that the engineering community will notincorporate PtD into the curriculum until the accrediting body, ABET, includes it in either aGeneral Criteria or the Program Critera. The majority of civil engineering programs in theUnited States are accredited by ABET. Recently, ASCE’s Civil Engineering Program CriteriaTask Committee (CEPCTC) added a requirement for the curriculum to include an explanationof safety, effective for the 2024-2025 accreditation cycle.

In mostsections of the class, a typical class meeting consisted of a lecture in which the instructorintroduced a type of differential equation and showed the students how to identify and solve thattype of differential equation. The students then completed a worksheet that had them repeat theprocess that the professor just demonstrated on one or more examples of that type of differentialequation. In short, students were trained to be good at mimicking a process and identifying whento use that process.

Because of this, many studies seeking to affect student's interest in engineeringcareers focus on increasing student self-efficacy and outcome expectations.

Additionally, [10] stated SD is an endeavor to ensuring anequilibrium among economic growth, environmental integrity, and social well-being.

engineering students feel underprepared when going into the workforce, due to a lack ofreal-world application of the college curriculum and the lack of necessary skills to confidentlymake engineering and business decisions [1-3]. Consequently, the transition between college andone’s first job can be difficult for many graduates [4]. This causes many to seek jobs outside ofthe engineering profession altogether; according to one study, only one-third of engineeringgraduates seek jobs in an engineering field [5]. Furthermore, a study by the Carnegie Foundationfound that engineering schools primarily focus on the acquisition of technical knowledge, leavinglittle attention to real-world application or preparing for employment [6].To combat this issue, the
