Mainstreamdefinitions such as that put forward by the Bruntland Commission2 are presented with little timefocused on dissenting definitions.3 Environmental justice considerations are largely absent,despite clear relevance to engineering. 4As part of a community based learning grant funded by Campus Compact, members of theEngineering, Social Justice, and Peace network developed learning modules for engineering corecourses that addressed different aspects of social justice issues.5 One of the modules I developedas part of that project explored the class dimensions of Life Cycle Assessment

Survey results are summarized in Table 1.For the first set of questions that relate to audience interest and enjoyment, responseswere generally quite favorable. Responses to the second set of questions on audienceexpectations varied widely—many did not expect the degree to which technology andaudience participation would play a role in the production. The third set of questions,which measured audience interest in music, science and engineering, indicate that whilethe audience had high interest in music, they also had significant interest in science and toa slightly lesser degree, engineering.ConclusionsBased on responses from participants and

In short, validated measures were used by capable instructorswho judged performances of individual students under authentic professional experiences—yieldingcredible scores.Capstone design courses are common sites of student assessment, but most assessment is focused onABET (formerly, Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accreditation and awardinggrades.
