better understand and plan for undergraduate studentsand exchange students joining the program from a different background. This study further shedlight on essentials such as project management, engineering education and ethical principleswhich were not discussed expansively during undergraduate coursework.This paper will report the knowledge gap analysis conducted via survey forms which wereevaluated by professional instructors. Study objectives include: (1) assessment of each formwhich evaluators perceived students’ knowledge gap of course material of BAE course andprogram outcomes, (2) Correlating the evaluated data on knowledge gap with the common coresubjects.Methodology:A survey was created based off of the knowledge levels from a previous

reach to other majors. Wedesigned a Minor is Sustainability with a new SUST prefix that is open to all UHD undergraduates. Weare proud of this innovative, cross-disciplinary curriculum as solving future issues with social andeconomic components will require majors outside of the environmental sciences.The Minor in Sustainability is 18 hours (6 courses). Three of these courses can be selected as part of thedegree plan of most students if they choose wisely from the list of course options. For these three coursesstudents must take one course from each of three course areas. The areas include 1) environmentalscience fundamentals, 2) social and ethical considerations and 3) technical and business applications. An important addition to the technical
