provides a strong educational experience via theorycombined with practice in a class/lab atmosphere. Dedicated faculty and staff are directlyinvolved in classes and labs, and each degree program culminates with a senior design or"Capstone" project, which is required for graduation. Capstone projects emphasize projectmanagement, technical deliverables, and multidisciplinary effort in team-oriented, long-termprojects. As a result of the heavy emphasis on practical, applied, and experiential learning,students who graduate from ISOE are well prepared for careers in all aspects of engineering. Theschool has more than 800 engineering students. In addition to modern classrooms and computerlabs, ISOE has fully equipped labs including a class 1000

awareness(including “an ability to use what you know about different cultures, social values, or politicalsystems in engineering solutions) and interdisciplinary skills. However, in their analysiscontextual awareness clustered with design skills, while interdisciplinary skills clustered withreflective behavior practice, and recognizing disciplinary perspectives. A small pilot study at theUniversity of Canterbury among students majoring in civil engineering and natural resourcesengineering in fall 2013 found correlations between sustainable engineering motivation andconcern for others (Bielefeldt unpublished data).The research questions explored in this study were: (1) to what extent are incomingenvironmental engineering students motivated by
