is vital to educate students now to better prepare them to face many challenges in professional practice in the 21st Century. However, there is no existing civil and environmental engineering curriculum that addresses both PBE and sustainable design. It is impossible to design sustainable civil infrastructure while keeping the essential merits of PBE design without an integrating effective training for the students. How to address that is a challenge, but also an opportunity for educators in CEE. It is difficult to add a separate course on sustainability engineering, given the already heavy CEE curriculum in most universities. The integrated curriculum needs sustainability concepts to be introduced in a broad

Integration of design content into the freshman year is not a new concept; in1990, many Freshman Design courses were taught at universities nationwide. National ScienceFoundation’s Gateway Engineering Education Coalition [11] emphasized introducing design earlyin the engineering curriculum to help student retention. In the early years, the engineering designcourse was mainly intended to introduce the students to the engineering profession and designcomponents instead of engaging them in hands-on fabrication and testing [12].Many universities use Rube Goldberg-based design projects for first-year engineering students asa general engineering design course [14], [15].

By classifying pedagogy in these terms, it helps us to understandoverarching themes in teaching styles and how easily identifiable CSR topics are for students, as well ashow in-depth into CSR topics the techniques go. “Implicit” in this case indicates more subtle methods ofmentioning CSR, not using the term directly, and not making it the centrally focused

standardization is well-established, and the need has persisted since the inception ofpre-college engineering education (Chandler et al., 2011). The field currently lacks an adequatenumber of programs to learn from. Engineering often gets lost either as an integrated disciplineunder science standards or as a topic under technology education. The question is whetherengineering belongs embedded within science or technology education. The recent release of theFramework for P-12 Engineering Learning is a strong foundational step toward futurestandardization efforts of engineering-specific education (AEEE & ASEE, 2020). The frameworkshould lead toward generating and implementing a cohesive engineering curriculum in alignmentwith state requirements rather

It isbecoming increasingly apparent that more substantive frameworks that challenge engineeringeducators to holistically integrate these concerns into curricula are necessary. Suchframeworks can help engineering educators move beyond simply modifying one or twocourses to think more systematically about how various aspects of such content can beinfused throughout the undergraduate curriculum and beyond.This paper examines how students enrolled in a second-year, project-based, use-inspired designcourse recognized, used, and understood concepts and outcomes related to a new frameworkfocused on environmentally and socially responsible engineering called Engineering for OnePlanet (EOP) [2].
