between what they learn infoundational math and science courses and other multidisciplinary coursework (e.g., core coursesin writing, humanities, social sciences, etc.), and how to transfer and apply that knowledge toengineering courses, projects, and professional experiences [3].Despite accreditation criteria elevating contextual competence and other professional practiceoutcomes (e.g., effective communication, teamwork, ethics and leadership), as well as a plethoraof national studies calling for a different approach to engineering education, institutional andstructural issues continue to complicate curricular change [10], [2], [5]. One issue stems from alack of incentive for faculty collaboration across departments to develop consensus around

From the outset, the team adopted an outcomes-based approach to curricular redesign. In the first phase of the project, the multidisciplinary teamdeveloped a comprehensive list of knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes desired in successfulenvironmental engineering graduates. Targeted competencies encompass discipline-specifictechnical knowledge, as well as cross-disciplinary skillsets related to ethics, communication,teamwork, social justice, economics, sustainability, and public policy. The list of desired studentlearning outcomes was produced

) following the passing of the Clean Air and the Clean Water Acts[3]. However, environmental engineering students often graduate with limited knowledge andinsights about the pathways that lead from scientific knowledge to policy, and the role of otheractors (constituents, industry, media, administrators), who can help or derail an effort to createpolicy consistent with the best scientific knowledge [4], [5], [6]. Gaps have also been identifiedregarding care-ethical responsibility of engineers toward the protection of human subjects,societal values and the environment [7].Regarding interaction with other actors, a gap exists in the area of communication with non-engineers and non-scientists. In a National Academy of Sciences study [8], researchers

preparingstudents for the complexities of modern engineering roles is an imperative shift recognized acrossacademic and industrial spheres (Queiruga-Dios et al., 2021). This transformation is driven by thegrowing demand for engineers who are not only technically adept but also possess a broadunderstanding of the environmental, societal, and ethical implications of engineering projects (deVere et al., 2009; McGinn, 2018). A key aspect of this educational reform is the emphasis oninterdisciplinary learning and the application of knowledge to real-world problems, fostering ageneration of engineers equipped to tackle global challenges with innovative and sustainablesolutions (Jamieson & Lohmann, 2009; Froyd, Wankat, & Smith, 2012).

highlight the importance of each ofthese contexts from practical and ethical perspectives, they are then introduced to the Biblicalconcept of Christian stewardship. The SaS framework defines Christian stewardship as theresponsibility Christians have to actively manage and make use of the resources God hasentrusted to them in a manner consistent with God’s commands and character. This idea can bemost succinctly captured by 1 Corinthians 4:2, which states “Now it is required that those whohave been given a trust must prove faithful” [13]. In order to tie the concept of sustainability tostewardship, students are then presented with a theological progression, with items 1-9thoroughly supported with Biblical references (included in Appendix B).

(2022) sees resource scarcity and social justice as two challenges related to his futurecareer. “Robots aren’t just metals. In fact, they contain a wide variety of materials in their construction. These materials come from many different sources and will vary in cost, environmental impact, and social values. When designing a robot, I will need to find a balance in the materials I am using between the three pillars of sustainability. I will need to ensure the robot is made from sustainable and ethically produced materials, while maintaining a certain

findings demonstrate that our approach shows promise forachieving these objectives through the implemented coursework.IntroductionThe engineering profession has always aimed to serve society’s needs. However, in some cases,engineering designs and products benefit some at the detriment of other groups [1], [2]. Withjustice issues affecting millions around the world, many engineering programs have startedintroducing modules and themes in their curriculum to educate students on such injustices andoffer approaches to help them address these issues. The environmental engineering discipline isuniquely positioned to recognize environmental injustice, understand its adverse health andeconomic outcomes, and advance ethical approaches and solutions to

As part of Module 8, studentswere specifically confronted with the need to become familiar with, incorporate, and respond tothe document, “Final Report of the NSPE Task Force on Overruling Engineering Judgement,”[14]. The successful training of students of engineering must include an awareness of, anappreciation for, and a thoughtful argument in support of licensure and credentialing as a criticalelement of protecting the health, safety
