American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Integrating Global Sustainability Challenges in an Organizational Management CourseAbstractPrevious studies indicate that there is a link between a country's engineering capacity and itseconomic development. Future professionals must be capable of integrating the social andenvironmental fields into their engineering solutions. Their vision of the world must answer anew development model that ensures resource availability and well-being for

-based practices that are effective [8]. Shuman et al. suggests future curriculum willinclude an understanding of pre-held misconceptions. Included should also be previous andcurrent practices of how that created the foundational mindset for the field, how and why theconcepts were first introduced. Taking that position, teaching methods can pivot to show wherethe industry and world are in order to support future research, scholarship and the field ofengineering. By incorporating ideas from the Bayesian reasoning method (Fig.2), as an examplefor the decision making process can provide and idea as to how the process affects outcomes.Shuman et al. also discusses the connections between subject matters will be considered infuture curriculum

These examples present ideasto spur the integration of environmental justice topics into civil and environmental engineeringcourses, while also inviting programs to more broadly consider an intentional across-the-curriculum approach.BackgroundDiversity, equity, and justice issues have garnered increased attention in 2020 as public outrageover the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many others exploded. This led to broaderacknowledgement of systemic racial bias and inequalities in society at-large and within highereducation. In 2020 a number of institutions newly required the integration of justice, equity,diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) issues into students’ education, via

field) (Section2.1.1). Environmental engineering education may involve more interdisciplinary, community-and society-focused approaches than we might see in other engineering majors, although it is notyet clear how topics relating to gender and race are integrated into the curriculum (Section 2.1.2).In the broader social landscape of work, culture, and practice, femininities have strong culturalcasting in environmental spaces; women face challenges to being recognized as experts, holdingleadership roles, and having political (public sphere) representation than men do not face,challenges that are deepened for non-white women, and challenges despite bearingdisproportionate weight of the consequences of environmental degradation (alongside men

an online environment mid-semester.Benefits of online or blended classes include students being able to be constantly aware of theirperformance and able to identify areas that need more attention, instructors having a new level ofcontrol over a course, its grading and feedback, and preserving academic integrity [4].Limitations include increased isolation and reduced student-teacher interaction [9],implementation of engineering lab activities, effective communication, and increased preparationtime required for students and instructors [2]. Typically, students know upfront that they aresigning up for an online class and may be predisposed to successful learning in this environment.However, in a situation such as the COVID-19 response when

Thus, this case study implementationand the planned subsequent activities provide an authentic learning experience that meets severalof the stated learning outcomes of the course. Additionally, the two-year curriculum does notcontain any environmental engineering courses, and the integration of this environmentalengineering case study into the first-semester course exposes students to the field ofenvironmental engineering.2.

The summative teaching evaluation scores reflect thatstudents gained new cultural perspectives and that the program integrated Swedish culture intothe curriculum. Students also recognized the program in the larger context of their engineeringmajor at Purdue University.
