actual list of attributes was pages long. It was notso much the content on that list but the mindset it put us in. We knew our list of attributes wasdifferent from what we had experienced in our own educational journeys and different from thetypical model of engineering education offered. We were willing to imagine a differentengineering graduate and believed that society demanded a different kind of engineer. Thiswould mean though that how we educate them will need to look different and that was the goalahead of us. We would look back to this list of WFU Engineer attributes to remind us of ourvision and as our team grew, and I would share the document with our new colleagues (even inmidst of our accreditation work).

Implementing SDGs into project work often demands localizedand unique solutions acknowledging the greater system which any project exists within.
