Lifelong learning.The basic premise is that an individual learner must actively "build" knowledge and skills 3. Weknow that technology changes with time and an engineer must be motivated to continue to learnand stay current with technology. Constructivism is a method of teaching and learning based onthe principle that cognition (learning) is the result of mental construction, and this construction inquite individual. Knowledge is formed by reflecting on our experiences, by putting informationtogether with what we already thereby we construct knowledge in our head. Thus, we create ourown understanding of the world we live in. Learning is the process of adjusting our mentalmodels to fit with new experiences. Constructivist theorists maintain that

Though the program consists of a number of academic courses, a cornerstone of thisprogram, and the focus of the present work, is a short course in mechanical engineering, whichis presently in its ninth year of existence. This course is intended to expose the students to thefundamentals of mechanical engineering, as well as a variety of practical engineering problemsrelated to the field. Though portions of this program were previously presented to the ASEE in2000, the program has undergone a significant evolution since the initial

Ladd3 subdivided engineering ethics into microethics and macroethics.Microethics considers individuals and internal relations of the engineering profession.Macroethics pays more attention to larger societal problems and values the collective socialresponsibility of the profession in making decisions about technology relevant to the good ofsociety.4 Most of the current teaching in engineering ethics has focused on microethics.5 Asa result, this educational focus

The framework used to develop informal sustainability modules was based oncreating interactive, hands-on experiences, which allowed students to better grasp and connect tothe topics presented.In order to assess the sustainability modules, and prove that students were grasping the intendedlearning outcomes, assessment tools were established. Assessment strategies have undergonenumerous revisions, based on data collected from various sustainability based programs held onthe Lafayette College Campus, such as the Lafayette College S.T.E.M.

IntroductionModern science and technology was developed in the social background of industrialization,where division of labor was the most important feature. As the frontier of research began tobroaden, a division of labor also occurred in the scientific and engineering communities. Such anapproach has also penetrated into the education system where students are forced to confinethemselves into a certain discipline.

Numerousengineering schools offer courses or programs in this general area, often with local variations toreflect faculty and schools’ specialized interests and knowledge. A survey of administrativeheads for nearly 1400 Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accreditedengineering programs conducted by the Center for Sustainable Engineering (CSE) found thatmore than 80% of the respondents (representing roughly 20% of the 1400 engineering programs)reported some level of sustainable engineering content in existing courses (CSE 2008)1.While there is
