. Augsburg, T., & De Barrosin their paper discusses how they were able to transform a long standing course to aninterdisciplinary and an integrative course by introducing a core course and having smallermodules within the curriculum. In integrative learning knowledge and skills are connected frommultiple sources and they are applied at different setting using different views [1, 11, 12]. Themain idea is to incorporate it as integrated studies that would involve making connections withina between fields major, between curriculum, and multi-disciplinary curriculum [1, 2].Before introducing the sustainability component to the curriculum, it is important to understandthe student perception and knowledge of sustainability.

IntroductionEngineers play an essential and unique position in the society as their influence over resources willhave long-term consequences on the communities they service. They are uniquely placed toaddress systemic obstacles, but to do so, they need to have a nuanced grasp of social aspects. Toaccomplish this, engineering education must include topics that investigate equality, diversity, andinclusion. (EDI). Students will be able to gain a grasp of how their
