Paper ID #18668A Methodology to Model the Integrated Nature of the Sustainable Develop-ment Goals: Importance for Engineering EducationMr. David Zelinka, University of Colorado, Boulder David Zelinka was part of the first official graduating class from Purdue University’s Environmental and Ecological Engineering Program. In his final year, he passed his FE exam focusing in environmental engineering. Following, he completed his MS in Civil Engineering at the University of Colorado Denver in the Environmental and Sustainability Engineering program with his thesis focusing on an environmental impact assessment of the

All the components mentioned in this section werecritical to the success of the model and to achieve the desired impact.The sustainability components discussed above were all developed and integrated during the firstyear of the program, and they were improved in the subsequent years. The CPP CoE students,faculty member, administrators and staff engaged in the different symbiotic program componentsto meet the program goals. The success of the complex collaboration was an important outcomeof the project. One of the recommendations for universities or colleges that would like to developa successful and sustainable

VRC is an international competition that allows students to learn aboutengineering design and programming to build remote controlled and autonomous robots tocompete for challenges that change yearly. Through REC’s recently partnership with two schooldistricts, one being Alachua, the VEX Robotics Curriculum and hardware are now beingintegrated into classrooms through district-wide robotics initiatives to promote STEM

they could integrate into an existing framework without a big commitment of time.Measures of impactThe Afterschool Alliance states that STEM programs have three types of benefits: improvedattitudes toward STEM fields and careers, increased STEM knowledge and skills, and higherlikelihood of graduation and pursuing a STEM career [2]. In their annual survey of a sample ofClub members, BGCA has only recently added questions that can measure these impacts, so wecannot document any effect of our activities over time, but the data do suggest that the BGCPCmembers have positive outcomes in these areas. The following data are for a sample of studentsfrom the specific Club targeted for our activities; not all those surveyed participated in events

University service learning programs may develop problematically paternalistic orhierarchical relationships between faculty, students, and community partners (Laninga, Austin,and McClure 2011). Within the evolution of service learning programming, universityrepresentatives have begun to step back from the ‘expert- recipient’ model of intervention andshift towards a truly collaborative community-based enterprise (Frankel 2011).

Management of the project with this new academic experience provides anopportunity to research and share best practices related to such an opportunity. The design projecthas engaged students and faculty from materials science, mechanical engineering, and civilengineering through an entire academic year experience. While the student design team ischallenged with developing a final product that integrates all aspects of their engineeringdisciplines, the faculty team is also charged with ensuring the students gain a valuable academicexperience within this project.

To encourage these thinking patterns in young engineers, Mark has developed a Scenario Based Learning curriculum that attempts to blend core engineering concepts with selected business ideas
