This course is open to any student who is a STEMmajor, has an interest in any STEM field, or has a specific interest in sustainability. However,this meant that even our advisors needed some clarification as to the definitions of STEM andsustainability in order to register students that would benefit from this course. The course wastaught using a team-based approach, with one faculty member from English and one fromEngineering, combining both areas of expertise in the classroom.

Furthermore, ABET hasrequired that students have an ability to function in multidisciplinary teams and to design asystem to meet desired needs within realistic constraints. In summary, ABET states that“students must be prepared for engineering practice through a curriculum culminating in a majordesign experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work andincorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints.” [5]In order to meet important educational
