During senior year exit-interviews, studentspreviously commented that the environmental engineering degree program was “overly focusedon the design of wastewater treatment plants”, and students suggested that additional designexamples be considered to offer breadth of content for students to pursue.In response to student feedback, the existing course, CArE5619 Environmental EngineeringDesign – Lecture and Lab, was significantly modified both in content and pedagogical approachby the new course instructor (DBO).The course content, including the semester-long design project, was modified to focus on theredesign of the local food system including sustainability and life cycle principles of

ABET’s expectations and terminology. In narrowing the scope of the framework,then, an effort was made to focus more directly on ABET-associated sustainable designconcepts, most specifically the societal, environmental, economic, and global design contexts[6].The second objective of the development of a new framework was to keep the frameworkapplicable to a variety of different design disciplines. This is an area the EOP framework hasalready addressed well. While the new framework was intended to most immediately serve onlya civil engineering program, the goal was to not sacrifice the ability for the framework to beadapted to other disciplines by defining its focus too narrowly.Finally, the last objective of the development of an alternative to

At 12–15 credits, such certificates would not typically fit intoa four-year engineering program. Other institutions offer specialized sustainability-relatedcertificates to working professionals in areas such as triple-bottom-line corporate reporting [5],design and construction of green buildings [6], and life cycle assessment [7]. However, thesecertificate programs are either too large (10 credits or more), or too technically specialized formost undergraduate engineering programs, or both.In contrast, this paper

foundthat people tend to believe that scientists and researchers are ‘competent’ and ‘cold’, with thelatter leading to people not trusting scientists’ intentions. With a trend of increasing mistrust ofelites, experts, science and institutions, there is need for engineers and scientists to developgreater social and emotional intelligence and improved communication skills [8], [9]. In additionto the need for gaining people’s trust, there is need to make knowledge usable by supportinglegislative work. Legislators are called to legislate on a myriad of technical issues in areas wherethey have limited or no expertise. Therefore, there is need for researchers who are capable of notonly designing technical solutions, compiling technical specifications

However, in some cases,engineering designs and products benefit some at the detriment of other groups [1], [2].
