As the leaders of change in fundamental civil engineeringprocesses, it is the responsibility of civil engineering departments nationwide to lead themovement toward sustainable civil engineering development through research and education oftheir students.” 1 Sustainability is one of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) fourkey programs 2. It is also part of Canon 1 of the ASCE Code of Ethics, “Engineers shall holdparamount the safety, health and welfare of the public and shall strive to comply with theprinciples of sustainable development in the performance of their professional duties.” 3Robinson and Sutterer cited as barriers to sustainability in education that many civil engineeringfaculty are not knowledgeable about

DevelopmentSystems thinking is the ability to view problems and develop solutions from a systems levelperspective, understanding the complex technical, industrial, social, and ethical implications. Webelieve this to be essential to a researcher’s ability to transform fundamental research intocomplete engineering systems [6]. The transformation of fundamental research into completesystems, known as translation, is a priority to the advancement of nanotechnology according toNSF [7] and a key focus area of the Centers. However important, systems thinking is not theonly skill necessary for success.A range of other professional and career skills are also valuable and are well articulated in theNational Academy of Engineering publication, The Engineer of 2020 [4

in October, 2014. Per Board of Trustee approval, the BS Engineering Science programwould have three specializations: biomedical, computer, and environmental engineering. Per theDirector of the University Core Curriculum, the curriculum would include twelve liberal artscourses (36 semester cr hr). But other program aspects were undefined. As an engineeringgraduate of a sister Jesuit University and an engineering ethics textbook author, she believed thatthe combination of engineering and social justice was an obvious foundation for a program.Jesuit universities have emphasized social justice since the Jesuits’ General Congregation 32 in1975, when “the promotion of justice” was declared central to the Society of Jesus’ mission [13,14].

This professor retired in 1988, and atthe same time the Introduction to Engineering course was replaced by a sophomore level courseon engineering professionalism and ethics.

Though we see engineering ethics as related butdistinct from our interests in sociotechnical integration, we look to this work as an example ofbringing together historically disparate considerations such as ethics and the technical side ofengineering work.Engineering ways of thinking were also analyzed in a case study by Godfrey on engineeringculture in an Australian university that had previously undergone a curriculum and culturaloverhaul.
