In some ways, constructing theappropriate assessment vehicle(s) was a more considerable challenge. The open-endednature of realistic design does not always lend itself to concrete assessmentmethodologies. The rest of this paper briefly outlines the UT Tyler CE program

importance of students to understand problems’ andsolutions’ impact across the three pillars of economic growth, environmental stewardship, andsocial progress. The multi-dimensional analysis allows students to better assess the complexityof the application of the knowledge they learn. The concept of sustainability even appears in theCivil Engineering Code of Ethics as one of the Fundamental Cannons that “Engineersshall…strive to comply with the principles of sustainable development…;”15 yet more evidencethat sustainability is becoming a foundational and essential component of an engineeringeducation.Given the importance of sustainability in civil engineering curricula, an important questionremains: how do we teach it?

ASCE points to the uncertain tomorrow where engineersmust work together to create innovative solutions to climate change, technological advances inalternative energy, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, advanced construction techniques andmaterials, and new approaches to governance. These tremendous challenges are not designed,built, operated, and maintained in a vacuum. They require experts from a myriad of disciplines tocollaborate, communicate effectively, and make well-informed, ethical decisions in order to besuccessful.

students grasp what sustainable design “is” or “should look like.”IntroductionThe first canon of the American Society of Civil Engineers’ code of ethics reminds students,professors, and practicing engineers of the professional responsibility to hold paramount publicsafety and welfare and “strive to comply with the principles of sustainable development in theperformance of their professional duties” [1]. Accordingly, engineering graduates are expected todemonstrate knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will position them to design sustainablesystems. ABET reinforced this expectation with a special issue brief released in November 2018and titled “Sustainable Education: Readying Today’s Higher Ed Students to Tackle the World’sGrand Challenges.” The

this objective is to incorporate humanities issues into existingcourses in the civil engineering curriculum. It has been suggested that much of the exposure ofcivil engineering students to the humanities must come from civil engineering professors12.Hayes12 highlighted the importance of having civil engineering professors broadly read in thehumanities incorporate ethics, knowledge of engineering history, and broader societal concernsinto the classroom at every opportunity as a means to provide civil engineering students exposureto the humanities12. In general, the civil engineering professors will be best at framingengineering problems and solutions for students from the humanist viewpoint and discussing theimpacts from a humanist perspective

correlating with the students’ finalgrades, the discussion board learning analytics help instructors pinpoint students falling behindin their participation. Learning analytics collect an immense amount of data on student interactions. Despite theopportunity to make data-informed course development decisions, the required parsing toorganize and analyze the learning analytics is a time-intensive process. Therefore, education isneeded on the organization and analysis processes to inform instructors and eventually encourageuse of LMS learning analytics. Additionally, the availability of every students’ interaction dataon every course in an LMS establishes ethical and privacy concerns for students [31]. In highereducation, FERPA protects the

However, officially recognition ofthe concept in practice has come relatively recently. For example, The ASCE Board of Directors Page 13.915.2introduced the concept into their Code of Ethics a little more than a decade ago3.Equipping civil engineers at the university level to plan and design sustainable developments,buildings, and processes is also relatively new.
