This description is consistent with the 1987 UN World Commission on Environmentand Development report that defined sustainable development as “meeting the needs of thepresent generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their ownneeds”2. These definitions and many others offered in the literature, center around three pillarsof sustainability namely, economy, environment, and society and suggest a need to consider aglobal approach when referring to sustainability that considers economic impacts, the ecologicalview, and a socio-cultural

sustainable thinking is a challenge for education in engineering, but it is essential tothe personal and professional development of an engineer since the demand for labor requires Page 26.1125.2engineers with professional practice, knowledge, and ability to make decisions to meet every daychallenges in their work field. These decisions involve aspects of Sustainable Development (SD)1 like: “the development that satisfies the needs of the people today without compromising thefuture generations”2. The resulting situation at the universities today is that SD integration isoften limited to some specific courses (depending on the lecturers) and that

with measuring how cultural programs andexperiences contribute to positive changes in students’ abilities to work and thrive in diverseenvironments. Global competency can be defined broadly as “having an open mind whileactively seeking to understand cultural norms and expectations of others, leveraging this gainedknowledge to interact, communicate and work effectively outside one’s environment”1.Measuring global competency levels before and after participation in cultural programs maytherefore be a potentially effective method for measuring changes in students’ ability to work ina global environment. Currently, studies on engineering students’ baseline global competencylevels are few at the undergraduate level. This research fills this gap

societalbenefits must be paired with financial benefits in order to truly succeed. Furthermore, the processof rethinking a product’s design so that it is more durable or more easily recycled; or so that itcontains fewer parts, less packaging or more recycled content – also drives innovation andquality improvement.This paper describes a new model that identifies sustainability related performance measures forproducts in terms of 1. Sustainable product design by robust design 2. Sustainable design byquality of service. The paper describes items 1 and 2 in detail. To support the theory ofsustainable product design by robust design techniques (item 1), a case study on a laser basedmeasuring instrument is considered. To support the theory of sustainable design

There have been significant outreach efforts to engagestudents in STEM-related activities, primarily with the intent of generating interest in STEMfields, but these efforts are not necessarily intended to teach specific K-12 math and scienceconcepts.

Inthis constructivist perspective the participants’ perceptions, values, beliefs and experiences are ofprimary importance.1 Additionally, constructivism focuses on the individual meaning makingprocess, and individuals are viewed as active agents gaining knowledge about social contextthrough their experiences with the environment.2,3 However, the thoughts that are of importanceto meaning making may actually be unconscious, and thus inaccessible to both the interviewerand

in turn thesechallenges often stem from the kinds of personal struggles mentioned above. As such, the UGOstaff frequently work with ODOS staff, student health, the residence halls, etc. to supportstudents and give them the information and support they need. In a given academic year, theUGO supports a huge number of students; some of the support services are provisioned quickly(issues are handled in a matter of minutes or hours), while others require more sustainedinterventions (measured in days or weeks). The national numbers speak for themselves: almost30% of college-aged students report being depressed to the point of impaired functioning[1](which means perhaps 0.3 x 2700 = 810 students in engineering at our institution), over 20%report

We havedeveloped a series of tasks based on these representations whose purpose is to teach studentsabout design processes, and we implemented them with eight undergraduate engineering studentsin two separate research seminars at a large state institution.Specifically, in these tasks, students were presented with design timelines as well as theempirically-based codes that were used to construct the timelines, and were asked to developnew representations from that data (an activity called Design Brief 1, or DB1).

INTRODUCTIONWhen examining technological innovations, particularly in computing organizations, the concept ofdisruptive change is often a focus. Without the innovations that are enabled by change, technicalorganizations are unable to sustain themselves, let alone thrive. Research by Christensen, et al. suggeststhat three factors affect the abilities or inabilities of an organization to change: the organization’sresources, its processes, and its values. They also suggest that these factors are critical to theorganization’s ability to innovate.[1]Resources include
