sustainability than juniors and seniors. Most students indicate that if sustainable design makesthem more marketable or is required for employment they would embrace such practices.IntroductionIn current discourses regarding environment, global climate change, and other sustainabilityissues, one common assumption is that humans will be able to rely solely on engineeringsolutions to solve environmental predicaments. However, even though the discipline ofengineering has been charged with creating solutions to global environmental problems, theculture of engineering is not currently, singularly focused on or equipped for innovatingsolutions to sustainability challenges. Some “green” focused engineers are working on designingnew technologies with an
process is a self-policing function that protects the high qualityof civil engineering programs around the country. Others find this system to be stifling,inflexible and too prescriptive. As state legislatures have forced civil engineering programs to fit Page 11.1260.4into 120 or 128 credit hour programs, there is little room for creativity or innovation after all ofthe mandatory requirements have been met. As technology has expanded, engineering hasbecome more interdisciplinary and the expertise required goes far beyond the traditional civilengineering sub-disciplines. The cutting edge areas of research are not in reinforced concrete,channel

Reeping and Reid’s work indicatesthat while nearly all ItE courses include design as a topic, less than a quarter include authenticdesign and less than half of these design-focused courses include hypothesis testing, modeling,or realistic problem formulation/solving as learning outcomes.In the development of a new ItE course at Lafayette College, the author wanted to include anauthentic engineering experience related to geotechnical engineering that included studentlearning outcomes related to hypothesis testing

There issome evidence that female and minority students may be more likely to articulate the importanceof sustainability in the context of civil engineering, although more research is needed on thistopic due to the small numbers of female students in the class.BackgroundAll engineers should be familiar with the concept of sustainability.
