technologies inengineering, and design for extreme (and extraterrestrial) habitats. Innovative activities includeusing drones for aerial photography and mapping, identifying tension and compression loads bybuilding a 3D bridge model, tours to Purdue’s innovative research facilities, reviewing theinfrastructure around them and proposing novel improvements, and participating in activities inthe classroom like debates about autonomous vehicle and jigsaw activities. The authorsanticipate similar programs could be instituted at universities and not-for-profits across thecountry to expose diverse students to civil engineering as a career and to the complex, multi-dimensional problems civil engineers get to solve every day.

context and environment where they are developed. Sustainableengineering practices were formulated based on common methodologies, techniques, and toolsused in the industry (e.g., life-cycle assessment or green building certification programs).Students, in both cases, also had learning opportunities to apply these sustainable practices in‘real-life’ projects where sustainable engineering solutions were formulated and developed.While there were similarities in the overall purpose behind adopting educational responsestowards sustainability in the curriculum, some distinctions were also evident. The uniquenessof each case and the interconnectedness between specific case features, such as theaccreditation system and the curriculum design (including
