. Rice-EWB is associated with the CEE department, and has worked closely with thedepartment in its endeavors. Rice-EWB has become a major part of the department’s long-termcommitment to create an innovative, hands-on, design based, team oriented curriculum thatprepares students for the challenges of the next century. The department has worked to providethe infrastructure needed to operate Rice-EWB and to integrate Rice-EWB into its curriculum sothat the opportunities made available through Rice-EWB can be augmented by the department’sresources and faculty. The CEE department has supported the work of Rice-EWB in manyways. First, the CEE department has been the custodian and guardian of all of Rice-EWB’sfunds, and it has transferred its non

An end-of-semester water treatment competition was used successfully. The competitionrequired students to integrate experience from previous laboratory sessions. Competitions arecommonplace in engineering departments, but are often connected with student groups (ASCE,SAE, etc.) and participation is voluntary. These types of activities bring a fun and creativecomponent to laboratory courses and are becoming more common in engineering curriculums8.Laboratory instruction is a very important component of engineering curriculums and this

However, the number of engineering science programs has increased by68% over the past thirteen years. Despite the general nature of engineering science, many ofthese programs offer concentrations in specific disciplines so students receive sufficientspecialization to find jobs in the desired field5.This research focuses on the growing number of general engineering and engineering scienceprograms offering environmental engineering concentrations with some integrating sustainabilityinto their curriculums.

In this research, theMiville-Guzman Universality-Diversity Scale short form (MGUDS-S) was used. It is a written15 question survey with responses on a 6-point Likert scale. It evaluates universal-diverseorientation (UDO) and has been most widely used in medical school settings.

While laboratory experiences diverge from a formal classroom lecture to allow students toconduct experiments related to real-world disciplinary concepts, many engineering laboratoriesuse a “cookbook” and procedural based structure. These traditional laboratories, however, havebeen proven to only address the lower levels of knowledge and comprehension of BloomsTaxonomy as opposed to reaching the higher levels of application, analysis, synthesis, andevaluation.1-3 Therefore, even though students are engaged in hands-on activities during labinstruction, educators can question several key
