from the perspective of systemthinking, and build a full-cycle green engineering design framework that is not limitedto the preparation and development of product materials. On this basis, a fulllife-cycle immersion teaching session is formed from the preparation design ofpolymer raw materials, to the injection molding of polymer products, to the promotiondesign of products, and finally to the recycling and reuse of products[12]. The School of Biotechnology has conducted several experiments in biologyteaching, such as the Biological Laboratory Safety Experiment, in which students willsimulate different levels of biosafety protection and practice biological waste sortingoperations to build awareness of biosafety and environmental

Each case study has onlinehow-to guides, linked throughout this paper, and could be utilized in environmental orsustainability engineering curricula, classrooms, or laboratory teaching settings. Each case studytargets specific ABET criteria for environmental engineering programs [39]. Many of theseprojects would require purchasing some hardware components for a lab setting, and we willdiscuss each of those in the respective sections as well as successful applications and real-worldexamples that have utilized these types of techniques.Air Quality Detection Using AccelerometerCurrently, air quality is a good marker of engineering for sustainable development given thedirect connections with climate change

As a teacher he designed and created the Sustainability capstone course which has annually partnered with community stakeholders to address sustainability challenges at all scales. Past projects have in- cluded evaluating composting stations in Wilkinsburg, studying infrastructure resilience in Homewood, enabling community solar in PA, improving energy efficiency in McCandless Township, and improving water quality in

,the ABET program criteria for environmental engineering and similarly named programs statesthat, “the curriculum must include … calculus-based physics, chemistry (includingstoichiometry, equilibrium, and kinetics), earth sciences, biological sciences, and fluid mechanics… hands-on laboratory experiments, and analysis and interpretation of the resulting data in morethan one major environmental engineering focus area, e.g., air, water, land, environmentalhealth…” [45]. These criteria – focused on foundational math and science, engineeringapplications of math and science, and experimentation are areas where environmental engineershistorically have tremendous strength in teaching using a variety of pedagogies.

of implementing SDGs into curriculum. Not only will a wide variety of topics beingrained into engineering education, but student experiences must reinforce this learning.Options exist to create a “living laboratory” out of the campus “for the implementation anddeployment of [SDGs]” [13]. Implementing SDGs into project work often demands localizedand unique solutions acknowledging the greater system which any project exists within. Asystems thinking and entrepreneurial mindset offers the potential to identify needs and designinnovative solutions in the realm of sustainability. SDG-oriented course learning objectives candirect and motivate inclusion of topics of sustainability within course material and teachings[14].As with any topic of

Learning taxonomies are tools that can be used to categorize thecognitive levels at which learners are engaging with material as a means of providing structureand metrics to the educational process, with achievement at higher levels of a taxonomygenerally corresponding to the desired intellectual abilities for practicing engineers [1, 2, 3].The general consensus among engineering educators has long been that creative, practical, andactive educational methods are needed in order to produce engineers who are well-prepared forthe workplace.

Thispaper aims to document the distribution of EnvE programs at PUIs and adjacent programs (i.e.Civil Engineering) that may pose an alternative path into EnvE practice for undergraduates.Further, preliminary curricular comparison among EnvE PUI programs is presented to provide arecord of current potential gaps in EnvE as taught at PUIs which lack graduate programs tosupplement specialization and provide additional technical research opportunities on campus forstudents and faculty.2.
