School of Information Science and Learning Technology (SISLT) in the College of Education at the University of Missouri, Columbia, (USA). Shortly thereafter, she began working with an Environmental Engineering Professor to provide a formative evaluation of his course, using the ABET framework as a lens for assessment. She began researching engineering education, specifically exploring the implementation of Problem-based Learning (PBL) to help prepare students to meet the ABET stan- dards. She is currently working as a graduate assistant for the eThemes project while completing her comprehensive examination, research proposal, and dissertation.Ms. Sara Elizabeth Ringbauer, University of Missouri - Columbia Sara

sustainabilityfocused activities. The framework used to develop informal sustainability modules was based oncreating interactive, hands-on experiences, which allowed students to better grasp and connect tothe topics presented.In order to assess the sustainability modules, and prove that students were grasping the intendedlearning outcomes, assessment tools were established. Assessment strategies have undergonenumerous revisions, based on data collected from various sustainability based programs held onthe Lafayette College Campus, such as the Lafayette College S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology,Engineering and Mathematics) Camp, to develop the most effective model for measuring studentlearning outcomes, opinions, and intended behaviors regarding sustainability

This will allow us to make suggestions forapplying this technique to other disciplines within engineering and other EnvironmentalEngineering courses.IntroductionSuccessful engineers possess not only technical skills but also the ability to apply these technicalskills to real life problems. In her book The 21st Century Engineer, Patricia D. Galloway statesthat, “While engineers remain strong in terms of their technological skills, they are generallyweak in terms of their management and communication capabilities.”1 (p. 2) In mostengineering curriculums, these management and communication capabilities are best learned inthe capstone, or design courses that students

Theapproach provided an opportunity for two unique disciplines within our academic department,Geospatial Information Science and Environmental Engineering, to collaborate and develop amethod for students to visualize the effects of dispersion while simultaneously becoming morefamiliar with information technology.5 In 2012, an upgrade to the ArcGIS program at ouruniversity, from version 8.3.1 to 10.0, forced us to relook the application’s scope and structure.The changes to the application and resulting modifications to the project’s structure andrequirements are described in this
