University of Colorado Boulder.Twenty-five survey items were used to measure four sub-components of sustainable engineeringmotivation, single items were used to measure global interests and interdisciplinary value, andnine items evaluated consideration for others. Sustainable engineering self-efficacy, value, andnegative attitudes were similar among students in all three majors. Environmental engineeringstudents had higher scores than civil and architectural engineering majors in sustainableengineering affect and overall motivation. Interest in working on projects outside the U.S. washigh, without significant differences between environmental, civil, and architectural engineeringstudents. Interdisciplinary value was the higher among environmental

According toeconomic theory, the current engineering focus continues to be project assessment, often withoutconsidering any social and environmental impact.According to [3], the social crisis in Chile in October 2019 demanded equality and finishedabuses, an apposition of a hierarchical society in which a group has greater power or status. Thisdemand is directly related to the social sustainability indicated by the SDGs. Given this context,there is already an approach to equality for students who participated in this study.METHODOLOGYThis research work evaluates the impact of problem-based learning (PBL) on sustainabilitycriteria for

numerical values (𝑞 = 2.5 litre/ sec,𝐿 = 100 m and ∆𝑝 = 103 kPa) is shown in the following output.The calculations give a diameter 𝑑 = 38.97 mm. Flow pipes are manufactured in standarddimensions, and from lookup tables the students conclude that the smallest possible pipe suitablefor this project is a 2" OD BWG 10 pipe with a diameter of 𝑑 = 43.99 mm. We also recognize thevalue of Reynolds number to ensure that our assumption about turbulent flow is correct.After these calculations, the students can change some of the premises and recalculate. Say, forinstance, that we cool the water to 5°C and use the same (standard) pipe diameter, the pressure dropis reduced with 40

Anothersuggestion by NSF is to broaden dissemination to enhance scientific and technologicalunderstanding.
