prioritization scheme that is based on resolving conflict between contrasting values. Characterization occurs when the engineer acts consistently in accordance with internalized values. The highest level of the value system then forms consistent behavior at this level under all circumstances.Including the affective domain captures the essence of responsible charge. Simply finding asound technical engineering solution does not fulfill an engineer’s obligation to protect andadvance public health, safety, and welfare. An engineer in responsible charge has an ethical andprofessional obligation to understand and utilize technological advances, and considerenvironmental factors such as sustainability, resilience, the effects of climate

codesremained as such until 1974, when the Engineers’ Council for Professional Development shiftedfocus from the client/employer to public health, safety, and welfare [5]. It was during this timethat engineering ethics was emphasized in the engineering curriculum of many colleges anduniversities. Similar to what happened at the turn of the 20th century, there were also a numberof high-profile disasters which added emphasis in this area of engineering [5]. In 1985, theAmerican Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) required engineering programs to addengineering ethics as part of their curriculum. In addition to ABET, several professionalpublications became part of the engineering professional landscape [5].Once ABET established a criterion for
culture that rewards the use of evidence-based pedagogical best practices to promote continuous professional formation throughout theundergraduate program. The change to the environmental engineering program takes place inthe context of a larger department. Lessons learned through this process can be used in future tointegrate curricula within the other two undergraduate degree programs (civil engineering andconstruction engineering technology) offered by the department.At the core of our approach is a transformation of the topic-focused course structure to a modelof integrated and project-based learning courses throughout the curriculum that could be team-taught.
