interdisciplinary, blending environmental, economic, and social considerations. Learning about it early-on encourages students to think across traditional boundaries. 3. Responsibility: Engineers play a crucial role in creating sustainable solutions for global challenges like climate change, resource depletion, and pollution. Starting this conversation early prepares them to take on this responsibility. 4. Innovation: By understanding sustainability from the start, students are more likely to innovate and design with a sustainable future in mind, leading to more environmentally- friendly and socially-conscious engineering practices. 5. Career Readiness: As industries increasingly prioritize sustainability, having a
