-Depth/Synthesis). We provided more Synthesis lessons than would be needed in a single course because multiple synthesis lessons allow flexibility for instructors based one which In-Depth topics they cover. Findings/Results – 17 participants submitted spreadsheet responses and 12 participants participated in the summary webinar. A model course outline was created from the list of 78 topics, retaining the modules and three levels of content within each module. An attempt was made to balance between the three discipline-specific modules (One Water, Transportation, and Energy). Furthermore, the model syllabus utilized several of the most useful sets of materials from University X and University Y and four “showcase lessons

-long course, they could also be used as modules to incorporate societal orsustainable thinking in other courses on building design. To facilitate adaptation by others, thecomplete assignment sheets and grading criteria for the key assignments are provided online. Thefinal section of the paper assesses the curriculum in terms of student achievement of learningobjectives, and changes in student perceptions of building design and sustainability during thecourse. The assessment is based on the first offering of the course and examines (a) feedbackfrom students during university-administered course questionnaires, (b) examples of studentwork, and (c) a pre- and post-survey on student perceptions about buildings.Course overviewThis course aims to

student to develop intoa reflective practitioner and from student engineer to professional engineer.Although we commence with the Student Engineers on campus, the educational philosophy ofthe course is to take full advantage of the online experience. Where possible the teaching staffwill take advantage of online technologies to deliver material, allowing academic staff to utiliseour face-to-face time for more educationally valuable interactions with our Student Engineers.This online environment will be scaffolded in the first 18 months on campus, as we form acohort identity. Then, as students move into industry, their everyday face-to-face supportregarding practice will come from the workplace, while the academics continue to providementoring on
