One framing principle in the course was the idea of human centered design forinfrastructure, which allowed the diverse array of topics covered in the course to have somecohesiveness. As part of the ethics and sustainability modules in the course, students were askedto read assigned material and watch segments of the ASEE community panel video on their owntime, then answer a series of questions as part of the associated homework assignments.

More than twenty percent (20%) of all engineering baccalaureate students complete atleast 10 credits at a community college [1].
