This paper describes such an approach using the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure(ISI) EnvisionTM rating system as part of a learning module in the capstone design course at theUniversity of Utah. In the module, students are first presented fundamental sustainabilityconcepts and tools, and in a separate seminar are introduced to the Envision rating system.Students are exposed at least two more times to brief follow-up discussions applying Envision totheir project. It was expected that the use of Envision helps students reinforce underlyingsustainability concepts and improve the learning about Envision by applying it to a project. Themodule

Geotechnical and geo-environmental engineers in particular must be able to understand and apply various aspects of thegeological sciences in their practice, but many other types of engineers also need to be confidentin understanding and applying findings of geologists with respect to their projects. This includesmanaging civil or environmental aspects of foundation systems, tunneling, mining, constructionmaterials, excavation, ground water, contaminant transport, seismicity, and mass movement,among many other applications.Because of the importance of geological science to civil and environmental engineers, it is notunusual for some engineering programs to require a course

The history of practice in civil engineering is, in largepart, the story of failures, both imminent and actual, and ensuing changes to designs, standardsand procedures made as the result of timely interventions or forensic analyses. In addition totechnical issues, professional and ethical responsibilities are highlighted by the relevant cases.Over the past five years the project extended the work of implementing and assessing casestudies from Cleveland State University to eleven other university partners, and broadened thescope to cover engineering

Most of the work is performed on anindependent basis – the student works on their component and then submits it to the team.The material is then integrated into the final product.Throughout the semester, the faculty advisor meets with the team on close to a weeklybasis. Based on the interactions in the weekly meetings, the advisor has an appreciationfor what students the students are working on – those that are doing the work and thosethat are not contributing. As a result, the advisor was often required to grade the studenton the work that was submitted by the team and participation at weekly meetings.Although this approach was objective, it was not the
