Design Index (SDscore).Phase 3: Validation of Sustainable Design RubricContent validity of the rubric was established through assessment by an expert panel, which hasbeen endorsed by other researchers50,51,52. Graduate student panelists included three studentsfrom civil, environmental, and aerospace engineering, each conducting research broadlyassociated with sustainability. Faculty panelists consisted of two CEE faculty members who hadexperience facilitating capstone design, as well as an educational psychologist. Each panelistreviewed the sustainable design rubric, including the 16 sustainable design criteria (Table 3), tworating scales (Table 3), and supplementary examples (Tables S3-S6), and then responded toseveral questions related to the

the importance of that subject for students and for society at large. Thus standards for K– 12 engineering education could help create an identity for engineering as a separate and important discipline in the overall curriculum on a par with more established disciplines.

. Currently, several departments offersenior capstone experiences which include a global component. Mechanical/Aerospace, forexample, has developed a senior capstone experience in which students work in multidisciplinarydesign teams with students in Singapore.ASU has also, over many years, created a culture which values and promotes interdisciplinaryventures. The current university president actively supports new organizational structures whichcapitalize on the cutting-edge research made possible by crossing traditional disciplinaryboundaries. In the Fulton Schools of Engineering, both Bioengineering and Sustainability areexcellent examples of how interdisciplinary work is fostered. A new school focused on growthin urban areas combines faculty from
Engineering EducationStructural Engineering is a sub-discipline of Civil Engineering, but it is not exclusive to the CivilEngineering profession. Structural engineers specialize in buildings, bridges, aerospace struc-tures, ships and other structures. A traditional structural engineering education focuses on the re-lationships between loads, load resisting systems and materials performance, i.e., the determina- Page 22.148.2tion of applicable loads and critical load combinations, selection and modeling of an appropriatestructural system capable of providing a load path or paths, and selection of materials and struc-tural elements with geometric

American Society for Engineering Education(ASEE), Yoder [80] found the mean percentage of women tenured/tenure-track faculty in allengineering disciplines was 16.9%, though the range was quite broad across the disciplines (ashigh as 26.9% in environmental engineering but only 11.2% in aerospace engineering). Acrossall engineering disciplines, women faculty were better-represented in lower academic ranks(associate professor 19.5% and assistant professor 24.3%, respectively). Although women areunder-represented among engineering faculty, they are not the only under-represented minoritygroup. Of all tenured/tenure-track engineering faculty in the U.S., only 2.3% were African-American and 3.9% were Hispanic, and 27.9% were Asian [80]. The percentage
