Itproposes that sustainable community development (SCD) projects require a level ofembeddedness in communities, engagement, continuity and logistical maturity that mostengineering schools with community-engagement programs are ill equipped to provide bythemselves but that in partnership

reform efforts require effectivemethods for assessing student sustainable design abilities. One approach for both stimulatingstudent learning and facilitating assessment is the use of rubrics. Rubrics can be used byinstructors to evaluate the quality of student work, but can also be used prior to assignments tohelp students learn about different dimensions of sustainability, establish expectations forsustainable design, and self-assess how well principles were applied to design projects.The goal of this project is to develop and validate a sustainable design rubric that can be easilyadapted and applied across engineering disciplines or for interdisciplinary problem-solving.
