The last and broadest level of participation is short-termengagement through undergraduate and graduate courses. For short-term engagement, studentsparticipate in community-based class projects for one semester or can take elective courses thatoffer community-based research. With short-term engagement, students apply concepts ofcommunity-based research. This participatory approach serves as an opportunity for students toconduct research and advance into mid-term engagement opportunities (Figure 1).

Lower performing students who were randomly assigned, orpurposefully grouped with higher performing students based on previous performance, typicallyearned higher grades on the group assignment than other events in the course.

Metrics for the engineering sustainability designation as a whole, such as participationand placement, indicated some positive results (for example, see above) but assessments of thelearning outcomes for the introductory seminar class (see Table 2 below for learning outcomesand current assessment plan) also indicated some areas where we fell short of learning targets inthe initial years of the designation.

This focus is reflected in the 2004 US National Academy of Engineering report, “TheEngineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century,” which links engineering withtechnology and the identity of engineers as technical problem solvers [8]. This requires engineersto break down large complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts [9]. By breakingdown complex problems into manageable parts, engineers can identify the

Lastly, the interpersonal dimension involves an individual'scapacity to engage in and comprehend relationships with others, though the process ofdeveloping empathy and co-creating shared meaning. These dimensions represent distinct modesof development and influence how individuals perceive and interact with the world, themselves,and others.

Designing for sustainability, with its conscientious use of resources and consideration of environmental, economic, societal, and global contexts, is a helpful framework for approaching design work in a manner consistent with faithful stewardship and obedience, reflecting God’s love for humans and the rest of His creation, upholding His values of justice and mercy, and aligning with his plan for future
