faculty members in Environmental Engineering as well as facultyfrom Civil Engineering, Chemical and Biological Engineering, History and Philosophy, BusinessManagement, Political Science, and English. 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

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).

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

-approved pre- and post-surveys were used to assess the impact of the modules on students’ perceptionof knowledge related to sustainable manufacturing practices in engineering. Their overall improvement inEOP learning objectives was seen across the curriculum, each bar showing a percentage of increasedperception of knowledge in different topic areas (Fig.5). EOP topics such as design thinking related tominimizing environmental and social impact, recognizing local and indigenous practices and use of locallysourced materials was improved by 75% and 38% for first-years and sophomores, respectively. Likewise,recognizing the ethical implications and describing the negative and positive impact of design work onsociety, a skill in social responsibility
