project focus towards those rubric categories that benefit their final grade.Both stand-alone sustainability courses and sustainability modules should provide students withunderstanding of the relationship between sustainability and their core civil engineering curricu-lum, thereby enhancing students’ abilities to design, experiment, and analyze results (i.e. reaching“application”). This issue may be addressed by providing more examples of higher Bloom’s levelsof sustainability applied to engineering design and/or requiring that students reach higher levelsof sustainability application within their senior design projects through a combination of instructorrequest and course syllabus/project rubric requirements.14
