The instructors discussed above successfully integrated learning modules on sustainabledevelopment into required technical courses in civil and environmental engineering. Myendeavor to reorient the patent assignment in STS 1500 around the SDGs builds on and extendsthe learning goals discussed in these studies by applying them to a non-technical engineeringcourse in STS specifically devoted to introducing students to social and ethical aspects ofengineering practice.

The leadinstructor for the course organized the approximately 10 review sessions and determined whichknowledge area(s) would be covered that particular week. Students met once a week for twohours to go over the assigned knowledge area(s). Ideally, the faculty member who recorded thevideo segments came to the class that week and reviewed areas that students struggled with andanswered questions. This pairing of self-directed video study with face-to-face classroom timeallowed the student to fully review the knowledge area and have any concerns resolved.Although this project was geared
