theoretical framework of this study is organized by major topics such as Education forSustainable Development, Sustainability Literacy, and the integration of ESD into curricula. 2.1 Education for Sustainable DevelopmentSustainability is a multidimensional concept [8]. Defining sustainability involves the adoption ofthree key dimensions that drive sustainable development (SD): environmental, social, andeconomic dimensions [8, 9]. Additionally, [10] stated SD is an endeavor to ensuring anequilibrium among economic growth, environmental integrity, and social well-being. As a result,understanding the environmental, social, and economic dimensions as well as theirinterconnections implies a certain level of complexity in the effort of incorporating

Theimplementation of both should be relatively straightforward; the two concepts can be coupleddirectly with existing CAD teaching infrastructure. If adopted, the expected result with fullyrealized learning outcomes is the following synergistic workflow: CAD skill development at asophomoric or earlier level, followed by an infusion of computational modeling techniqueinstruction in standard introductory coursework (i.e., Statics, Mechanics of Materials, Vibrations,Fluids, et cetera), and concluded with the implementation of field-driven design in design-focused classes (e.g

Concerned by this troubling observation, coupled with my belief thatengineers should be able to both understand and apply mathematical concepts in theircoursework and careers, I determined to investigate the cause of the problem and, if possible,evidence a potential solution to help students transfer mathematical knowledge into an applied(engineering) context.

engineering students feel underprepared when going into the workforce, due to a lack ofreal-world application of the college curriculum and the lack of necessary skills to confidentlymake engineering and business decisions [1-3]. Consequently, the transition between college andone’s first job can be difficult for many graduates [4]. This causes many to seek jobs outside ofthe engineering profession altogether; according to one study, only one-third of engineeringgraduates seek jobs in an engineering field [5]. Furthermore, a study by the Carnegie Foundationfound that engineering schools primarily focus on the acquisition of technical knowledge, leavinglittle attention to real-world application or preparing for employment [6].To combat this issue, the
