All graduates enter into a military career ascommissioned officers and are expected to make informed decisions on topics ranging from spaceoperations to routine military installation maintenance and management. To address this widerange of occupational responsibility, the primary learning goal is for the students to be able tointegrate and advocate for sustainability principles in plans and decisions affecting the builtenvironment at the conclusion of the course. Course design worked backwards to accomplish thisgoal beginning with the summative assessment and

How do the engineering identity, extracurricular experiences, post-graduation career plans, and familial influence of Hispanic students attending a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) differ from those of Hispanic students attending a Predominantly White Institution (PWI)? 2.

It should be noted that of those that did not agree on the importance ofEnglish-language skills, half indicated they were planning to stay in Canada after graduation(data not explicitly shown), which suggests a perception that communication skills are notrelevant to engineers or necessary for future success, even in an English-speaking environment. 45 42 40 35
