).This situation necessitates environmental engineers who understand transportation engineeringand transportation engineers who are familiar with the solutions for environmental engineeringissues. In this background, an undergraduate environmental engineering program can incorporatecomponents in its curriculum and research to address transportation-related environmentalproblems. This inclusion can be done in two ways: 1. Developing a transportation engineeringminor in an environmental engineering program; 2. Enhancing the existing environmentalengineering curriculum with transportation components. In addition, an EnvironmentalEngineering for Transportation certificate program can also be developed for practicingenvironmental and transportation

Dr. Alfredo’s research focuses on sustainable potable water provisions to include technical treatment and regulatory policy in both the U.S. and internationally. As a 2015
politicalsolutions.Engineering for One Planet (EOP), an initiative catalyzed by The Lemelson Foundation andVentureWell, seeks to remove the barriers to integrating sustainability into the engineeringcurriculum while prioritizing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice principles. The goal is totransform engineering education to ensure that all future engineers across all disciplines areequipped to design, build, and create in environmentally and socially sustainable ways. Criticalto this process is ensuring historically minoritized and marginalized groups become engineersand/or engage in the prioritization and creation of solutions. This paper examines the work ofEOP to date, and approaches needed to accelerate the desired fundamental and systemic changesto
consequences (vicarious reinforcement). ● Learning involves observation, information extraction, and decision-making, ● Learning is an active interaction where cognition, environment, and behavior mutually influence each other (reciprocal determinism).Social learning theory using the 3C Model:This study incorporates the 3C model of social learning [13] and it is defined as Content,Connection, and Collaboration. In the learning field, content creation is crucial to achieve preciselearning. Instructors should create content by setting learning objectives for effective training[14]. The integration of a social learning aspect requires the instructors to clearly state thedesired learning outcomes while concurrently establishing a
theEngineering Accreditation Commission of ABET as well as with the 17 United NationsSustainable Development Goals [1]. The framework is supported by ASEE and has beengrowing in popularity recently.While the framework itself includes a wealth of information through the assembly of the ideasand opinions of many different experienced professionals, it also includes an overwhelmingamount of information and outcomes if the intent is for it to be integrated into an existingengineering curriculum. There are also some unique challenges that accompany efforts tointegrate the framework into an engineering curriculum at a Christian institution, such as the oneat which the authors teach. This paper explores the development of a heavy adaptation of theEOP framework
developed by Biggs and Collis[10], Olsson [11] found that chemical engineering students performed at more integrative levelsduring oral exams. This finding may be related to student preparation. Lundgren [12] found thatstudents studying for an optional oral examination studied more and focused their study more onunderstanding the material. Oral exams also promote faculty-student interactions after the exams[13]. In computer science courses, East and Schafer [14] found that one-on-one gradingexperiences between students and faculty increased the general willingness of students to askquestions subsequent to the experiences. Regarind neurodiverse students, oral exams aretypically conducted in a distraction-free, one-on-one environment. Finally, oral

Using this successful framework as a model,four sustainability modules were designed and mapped to select EOP learning objectives and delivered tostudents throughout the 4-year College of Engineering (COE) curriculum, one course module per gradefrom first-year to senior year.
