Management Systems, Industrial and Entrepreneurial Engineering andEngineering Management, and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, utilizing a validatedsustainability rubric. The assessment focuses on seven critical criteria: dimensions, cognitivelevels, links, drivers, integrations, qualitative and quantitative incorporation, and sustainabilitytopics. The assessment was conducted using an interrater reliability approach between tworesearchers. One key revelation from the study is that sustainability is more integrated within theprojects’ fabric than existing as a stand-alone element. This integration, however, is significantlyinfluenced by instructor-driven expectations. The analysis across the six programs indicates thatif sustainability is not
