Two faculty members introduced asustainability theme into the existing project-based course to around 180 students (approximatelyone third of the incoming freshman). With the university’s mission to become a more sustainablyaware campus, this piloted theme synchronized well with long term goals. Thematicsustainability lessons that focused on water, materials, and alternative energy technologies wereintroduced throughout the course alongside traditional methods used to teach the engineeringdesign cycle and culminated with a

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts a 22% growth injobs for fields related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) between2004 and 2014 (U. S. Department of Labor, 2005)2. It revealed that fewer than 40 % of studentswho enter college intending to major in a STEM field complete college with a STEM degreetoday3. The engineering graduation rate is even lower for Texas Higher Education institutions4.Research by ACT indicates that fewer than one in five 12th graders have both high interest inSTEM and high

As we conclude the second year of this five-year project, we used both synthesis andempirical studies to examine engineering students’ views of innovation and abilities to innovateas well as educators’ ability to teach and assess the development of these abilities. Our researchso far has identified a critical problem. Innovativeness, though an essential attribute needed forengineers, is not one that resonates with the engineering
