[3, 4] discussed how shouldfaculty design online exams for students studying in engineering and technology related fieldswithout sacrificing the educational quality and exam security and also provided facultyexperiences on the topic. They presented following important recommendations to prepareonline-open book-open mind approach exams: the students should be tested more on theconcepts rather than the material that can be plagiarized easily and selecting random sets ofquestions from a pool of questions for each student. For the second part, more questions shouldbe setup in the learning management system so that the system can randomized the exam foreach student. Pohl

established.Literature ReviewAs global demands on resources and the environment continue to increase due to such factors asincreasing population, the sustainability theme continues to grow in importance. Educators areregularly developing or updating courses to tackle related issues. More specifically, educators inengineering disciplines continue to weave sustainability themes into their respective curricula, ordevelop stand-alone courses, to inspire the next generation of engineers to develop creativesolutions to complex problems.As this issue continues to be a global in its nature, many programs in the United States seek tobuild their courses with international partners in mind. There are examples of programs atColorado State University that have partnered
these engineering practices to apply and learnscience ideas.Framework for P12 Engineering LearningNature of engineering researchers argue that although the discipline draws on math and scienceknowledge, engineering has a unique theoretical knowledge base [13] - [17]. Several have raisedconcerns that the NGSS approach of teaching engineering as a set of practices createsmisconceptions [4], [10]. In response, the FPEL was released to provide a holistic view ofengineering learning as a distinct discipline outside of science and other subjects [10]. Theseinclude engineering practices, habits of mind, and knowledge. The FPEL recommends startingwith habits of mind in early grades, adding in engineering practices, and later helping studentsidentify
