This Integrated Projects Curriculum “builds on service-learningpedagogy…it embodies the three modes […] required for service-learning: content,engagement, and reflection.”16 The IPC intersects with, and is further resourced by theCollaboratory for Strategic Partnerships and Applied Research, where engineeringstudents interact with students in other disciplines.17 Messiah College is currently

Because of these different filters, the class was developed inconsideration of the ABET and ALA/ACRL/STS standards1. Additionally, ENGR 101 hasevolved over time through continued collaboration with the ENGR 101 professors.In spring 2011, an Information Literacy grant was given to the Assistant Dean of Engineering.This grant enabled the two engineering librarians to develop curriculum to be included in allENGR 101 classes to address library information

Materials engineering is particularly important for addressingsustainability, since materials engineers are involved both in the production and processing ofmaterials with low energy use and low environmental impact (supply side) as well as in theselection of materials (demand side). Thus, sustainability concepts are especially relevant inmaterials engineering courses and curricula.Sustainability content can be integrated into existing materials engineering courses or presentedin separate courses, both of which have value.
