) is the “decoupling economicactivity from the consumption of finite resources, and designing waste out of the system” [1].The world is shifting closer towards a circular economy model every day; a prime example isthe embrace of circular economy in post-secondary institutions. Post-secondary institutions arefertile ground for adopting CE in part due to increased students’ desire for their universities tolead sustainability efforts. Over 90% of university students noted the desire for sustainabledevelopment integration in their place of study, while 70% of students would like to seesustainable development incorporated within classes and 25% have not heard of SustainableDevelopment Goals (SDGs) [2].Researchers have not delved deeply into the

On the 7-point scale, average scores below 3.5 were considered negative (ordisagree) responses, averages between 3.5 and 4.5 were considered neutral, and averages above4.5 were considered positive (or agreement).The survey was given to incoming first year students at the University of Colorado Boulder infall 2014. The survey was administered in class on the second day in the Introduction toEnvironmental Engineering course. The survey was also administered in class on the first day inan Introduction to Civil and Architectural Engineering course. Responses were

Ms. Sandekian joined the Engineering for Developing Communities Program (now known as the Mortenson Center in Engineering for Developing Communities) in spring 2004, just as the first EDC graduate track was approved. With MCEDC, her main duties have included student advising and academic program development. In ad- dition to her management role in the Mortenson Center, Ms. Sandekian has taught an Engineering Projects course around the theme of appropriate technology and conducted research on social entrepreneurship and sustainable community development in Nepal in 2008.

The consulting engineer hadextensive experience with EWB teams and in developing engineering solutions worldwide.The concept of “Do No Harm” was woven throughout the course by exposing students tointernational case studies. One class per week was dedicated to considering success ofhumanitarian engineering projects and the unfortunate frequency of failed – though well-intended – projects. Assignments forced the students to reflect upon positives and negatives andincorporate the best in their plans. Additionally, the students were challenged to develop a designand prototype to transport water from a creek on campus considering appropriateness

In regards to the class format, at the beginning of each week, we conduct short discussions ontopics of the day. Of particular importance are discussions on Social Responsibility andSustainable Development. For example, on the first day of class, after administering the initialevaluation survey, we had an open discussion on What do Engineers do? Among the topicsrelevant to this discussion, the problem-solving aspects of engineering as well as decision-making and the
