, 2023Sustainability designation, introductory course, and a new textbook in anengineering curriculumSustainability is an important topic. If human societies don’t live sustainably, by definition, wewill experience drastic reductions in our population and/or standard of living and may cease toexist. Knowledge about sustainability has become a foundational component of a generaluniversity education and of being an informed citizen. Sustainability, as a subject of study, isincreasingly popular with students and is an increasingly relevant skill domain in the job market[1]. Given that undergraduate engineering curricula are typically very full of technical content,how is it possible to incorporate sustainability principles into an undergraduate

This, inaddition to the push of the Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) toinvolve students from multiple disciplines in solving complex engineering problems [2], haveresulted in the implementation of interdisciplinary team-based projects throughout engineeringcurricula.However, team-based project teaching can experience several instructional challenges,particularly when working with a large number of students and projects.

A summary of flipping classes in engineeringand the type of activities used in class is provided in Ref. 2.

Theindustrial age brought many advances revolutionizing how things were made. World wars alsocontributed to the need for targeted research.
