The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)also requires engineering students to be exposed to sustainability in the context of technologydesign and development through student outcome (c): “an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.” 4The National Academy of Engineering echoes this emphasis on sustainability in engineeringprograms in its description of the Engineer of 2020, calling engineering students to: “… be leaders in the

Moreover, it wasshown that EGR 101 had the greatest effect on the group termed ‘Support Seekers’, composed ofstudents with below median ACT math scores but above median high school GPA’s. The latterindicates greater work ethic and ability to persevere in engineering, while the former mayarguably indicate below median ‘ability’. Thus, the mitigation of ACT math score associatedwith the F04-F06 cohorts was due to the fact that the low ACT math students who enrolled inEGR 101 were predominantly ‘support seekers’, who had the work ethic and perseverancerequired to progress through the remedial math sequence before enrolling in EGR 101.

Further student-faculty interaction was provided throughweekly faculty research seminars. Each week, one faculty member presented brief vignettes oftheir research interests to the group, enabling students to learn of other imaging related researchbeyond their own projects.In addition to the program-related activities, students participated in several University-wideenrichment events.
