background. Theseobjectives directly address some of the challenges of graduate education in EEE and relatedfields. The core topics (fundamental principles) of EEE were taught in-context with “CaseStories.” Each Case Story was built around contemporary issues, and included for example,history, regulations, interconnectedness, applications, processes and products. Weaving a cloth isa metaphor for this approach. At one end are the core topics (Appendix B) and at the other endare the program learning outcomes (Appendix A). The curriculum is the fabric that is woven toconnect the core topics to the learning outcomes. Module instructors chose a Case Story toprovide the context for the module, identified core topics (about five) to be covered, and

focus is directed at fulfilling Mihelcic’s definition of sustainability by educatingthe engineers who will be designing the next generation of technologies to facilitate greenconstruction and sustainable water use. To do this, we must demonstrate how sustainability canbecome an integral part of both undergraduate and graduate engineering education systems, incontrast to the current tendency to narrow one’s focus when matriculating from an undergraduateto MS to PhD program. We propose that serious changes are needed in the way we educateengineers if sustainability is to become a meaningful component of US engineering practice.Further, if these changes do not occur, US engineering education and US engineering may soonfall behind more aggressive

Additionally, as curricularrigidity typically increases student opposition as the general acceptability of sustainabilityeducation decreases when it is viewed as a non-essential topic in engineering4. Rigidity of thecurricular structure has, therefore, been deemed an important factor in the causal relationshipsthat affect sustainability education via several different pathways (e.g., R5- R9).Proposed strategiesThe higher leveraged interventions are in the area of shifting paradigms and freeing curricularstructure.

Students would have to readin order to fill in the knowledge gaps even after attending class lectures. Generally, theamount of reading required in IEE courses is more than other engineering courses and itcreates a unique challenge for educators because engineering students are not too excitedabout reading assignments. Reading is a declining skill among students in this era of instantavailability of information and emerging technology. The lower percentage of studentscompleting the assignments could be remediated by various means such as giving popquizzes, awarding extra discussion points
