The framework used to develop informal sustainability modules was based oncreating interactive, hands-on experiences, which allowed students to better grasp and connect tothe topics presented.In order to assess the sustainability modules, and prove that students were grasping the intendedlearning outcomes, assessment tools were established. Assessment strategies have undergonenumerous revisions, based on data collected from various sustainability based programs held onthe Lafayette College Campus, such as the Lafayette College S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology,Engineering and Mathematics) Camp, to develop the most effective model for measuring studentlearning outcomes, opinions, and intended behaviors regarding sustainability

This course provides junior undergraduates with tools to approach problemsolving considering the triple bottom (i.e., economic

A team of four students from the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering,who prepare a proposal for that specific RFP, was challenged to answer this call for pilot projectsdemonstrating on-site wastewater reclamation and reuse. The students had to first analyzevarious technologies, and then propose, design, build, and operate a pilot of the selectedtechnology. To cover construction costs, the College of Engineering allotted an approximatebudget of $2000.00 for the construction materials of the system, including components that theinfrastructure lab could appropriate and make

Finally, experience gleaned from this course for non-majorshas produced ideas for lessons engineering instructors can apply to their own courses.IntroductionThe context for this work is a course titled The Global Environment. The course teaches studentsto analyze global environmental issues, resources, and human activities with a systems approachbased on scientific, economic, political, social and ethical perspectives. The course forms thecapstone experience for the Minor in Environmental Studies.Perhaps what will most fascinate engineering faculty is how the course integrates non-technicalcontent with science and technology.

Theidea for the local outreach program came out of a study that suggests that involvement by college Page 13.149.5students with grade school students is an effective means of generating student interest in STEMfields11.
