, Native Americans and Alaska Natives (National Research Council, 2011) 12.A study by the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering (NACME) (2008) 13,indicates that the progress made in increasing underrepresented minority enrollment inengineering is more than offset by the lower retention rate of underrepresented minorities (39percent), when compared to that of all engineering students (63 percent). Research indicates thatover time, engineering students become academically disengaged. Data from the HERI Institute,analyzed by the author, indicates that from 1975-2010 there has been a persistent downwardtrend among all students, regardless of ethnicity, who intend to major in engineering.

However, this adverse fiscal environment is countered by agrowing sense among many members of Congress that the current education system is notproducing scientists and engineers in the quantity and quality required to maintain the economiccompetitiveness and defense capability of the country. Therefore a window may exist todemonstrate that education research may be a means to understand better this country’s highereducation system and to modify its outputs. Based in large part upon interviews withcongressional staff, this paper identifies loci of support among members of Congress, as well asengineering education research funding objectives.

This paper involves a guided student study ofsustainability in engineering. Essentially students began to investigate how we as engineersutilize and implement existing research and products into delivery to the customer particularly interms of green engineering. Due to rising costs in energy, engineering services delivered need tobe self sustaining whether new or reconstructed.The course provided the students the ability to investigate and document green constructionpractices and its impact on sustainability in real world applications.
