Certainly, thereshould be some unifying principle that can be taught in an introductory environmental engineeringclass that will some how convince students that it is possible for engineers to be part of thesolution and not contribute to our own destruction. Is human life and civilization sustainable orwill we extinguish ourselves? Contained in these questions is today’s environmental buzzword - sustainability. Theterm used in a politically correct context is “sustainable development”. Sustainable development

]. Decisions under climate change are deeply uncertain, and DMDU approaches havefrequently been applied for long term planning for urban infrastructure [2]–[4]. Decision makersmust plan and take some form of adaptive action (including no action or deferred action) toaddress the impacts of climate change. These actions tend to be informed by complex modelinganalyses, and it is often difficult to communicate the modeling results as well as the advantagesand disadvantages of different actions to stakeholders and decision makers. It is equally if notmore difficult to communicate these concepts to civil and environmental engineering studentswho will be confronted with similar decisions in their future careers. Serious games may offersome solutions to these

This is especially true in large U.S. cities in the Northeast andMidwest, where over 60% of the water infrastructure was built prior to 1930 [12]. Therefore,rather than think of the Flint water crisis as one unfortunate event that was entirely preventablewith corrosion controls, we should think of it as a warning to other cities in the U.S. [12]. 5.3.
