Students increasingly need to becomecognizant of how decisions are irrationally impacted by human cognition, and how suchdecisions can be improved to foster more sustainable outcomes to engineers and designers, theirclients, and society at large. The Presidential Task Force of the American Psychological Association has asserted theimportance of psychology as a STEM discipline and an “effective interdisciplinary bridge” (APA2010). The time has come for this bridge to be crossed to help address the psychology ofcomplex decisions, which engineers face regarding sustainability.
