sustainabledevelopment needs to be incorporated into the general engineering curricula since the early years[5]. Since it is estimated that takes about 20 years before an engineering course is fullyincorporated in the engineering curricula [6], it is becoming imperative to initiate as soon aspossible the process of creating sustainable development awareness inspiring new mentalities inthe new generations of engineering graduates. Economies in the world are moving towardscircularity. This process will demand for effective circular engineering designs in support of theincreasing societal expectations for more sustainable technology developments. Therefore,engineering education should adjust towards the societal demands and equip engineering graduateswith the

Project Awareness in First Year Introduction to Engineering CoursesAbstractSubsequent to their selection of a particular major, First Year engineering students often identifythemselves as their selected major (“I’m an Electrical Engineer”) with the preconception thatthere will be no interaction with engineers from other disciplines (or other professional entities)when they practice engineering in their educational and professional careers. In an effort tobroaden the students’ perception and understanding of the existence of multidisciplinaryinteraction on design projects, engineering programs at four U.S. Universities included coursematerials in their Introduction to Engineering classes to address this topic in the first year

Bridge programs have been shown to provide not only academic skills but socialresources to connect students to the university, as well as, to other students [1-3]. Forengineering students, math can often be seen as the hurdle for degree progression. Students whobegin their engineering curriculum in calculus II or higher math have higher graduation ratescompared to unprepared students [4].
