The course was refined for Fall 2014 to includeinstitutions outside of Idaho and incorporate a focus on the application of electric power micro-grids. Resilient control systems architecture, as shown in , offers additional perspective on topicsof a subset of interdisciplinary topics that impact real world critical infrastructure. The courseaddressed how systems fail due to threats from cyber security, human error and complexinterdependencies, and how the application of resilient control system technologies addressesthese challenges.

The poorstate of infrastructure in the US is stressed in order to highlight the importance of the civilengineering profession to the public welfare. Throughout the course, we emphasize how thequality of infrastructure directly affects the economy and security of the US, and that the nextgeneration of civil and environmental engineers needs to be more skilled and more able to designand create sustainable infrastructure.

It seem likely that manyuniversities will try to address sustainable development broadly so engineering students shouldbenefit. However, engineering faculty should take opportunities to ensure that the engineeringaspects of sustainable development are addressed for all students.A number of the goals e.g. Goal 6 - water & sanitation, Goal 7 - sustainable energy, Goal 9-resilient infrastructure, and Goal 11 - resilient and sustainable cities are heavily dependent onengineering. However, an examination of the targets for even these goals that are heavilyengineering should make it clear that achieving sustainable development as defined in the Goalswill require a truly

Sciences in the groundbreaking 2004 report entitled The Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century, successful engineers in the 21st century should exhibit key attributes to ensure their success and the success of the engineering profession. The list of key attributes are: strong analytical skills, practical ingenuity, creativity, communication, business and management, leadership, high ethical standards, professionalism; dynamism, agility, resilience, and flexibility, and the ability to become lifelong learners [1]. The project described in this paper is motivated by the results and findings of these reports. Our project exposes a pool of STEM undergraduate students to research
