, this course also fulfills another requirement in a student’s engineering major. For instance, a sustainability-themed economics class would meet the requirement for the sustainability designation and also count for the engineering economics requirement. c) A sustainability-related practical experience, such as an internship, a research experience, or a capstone design project. Typically, this requirement bears no credit load although it could be fulfilled within an engineering student’s four-credit design class. d) A one-semester-hour engineering Sustainability Analysis course, ENGR 384, which serves as an introduction to such topics as life cycle assessment, risk and

While the environmental justice movement hasmade great strides in incorporating public health research into these issues, there has been lesseffort focused on integrating environmental engineering training into the movement. This paperdescribes research on developing and implementing a suite of integrated, interdisciplinary,community-engaged, anti-racism training opportunities for civil and environmental engineeringundergraduates to build capacity for addressing environmental justice challenges. For this project,we integrate environmental engineering, applied anthropology, and Science TechnologyEngineering and Mathematics (STEM) education to redesign existing civil and environmentalengineering courses to include

) Sustainability in Engineering Graphics and Bicycle-Powered BlendersBackgroundThe purpose of this work-in-progress paper is to share developments related to an ASEEEngineering for One Planet (EOP) Mini-Grant Program Cohort 2 Award to the autho that beganin the summer of 2023 and ran through January 2024. The project has two objectives: 1) Use theEOP Framework (Figure 1) to modify learning outcomes in MEAM 1010 Introduction toMechanical Design, a course that is already taught every semester to classes of ~80 students, and2) Leverage the EOP Framework to create MEAM 2300, a new course on bicycle engineeringand culture. The students have identified that outside MEAM 1010, there are no othermechanical engineering courses they can

Asfollow up assignments, students are asked to research sustainable wood production andharvesting or to complete a brief case study of a project that received a high LEED certification.The third civil engineering module of the design topic introduces students to culture andcommunity needs assessments. This lesson plan aims to equip students with the ability toassemble an effective plan for collecting relevant cultural information from a community inorder to define design specifications for an international development project.

This entails encouraging learners to connect and collaborate with peers, be itthrough formal avenues such as group projects or mentoring programs [10].Figure 1: The 3Cs Framework [13].The emphasis on connection in social learning highlights the importance of instructors not onlyfacilitating student interaction during traditional lectures or lab sessions but also fostering onlineactivities [15]. Instructors should establish a mentorship environment within the classroom,encouraging students to learn not only from the instructors but also from each other. Thisreciprocal learning benefits both students and mentors through reinforced learning. Thisdeliberate shift in strategy aims to broaden access to
