A second major challengeconcerns the time and resources required of departments to design and implement curricularenhancements without burdening students or faculty with unsustainable course or workloads [1].Project-based learning (PBL) is a teaching approach that addresses many of the noteddeficiencies in the current engineering education model while enhancing, rather than competingwith, technical content [3]. Literature on PBL articulates a variety of educational benefitsapplicable to the desired professional formation of engineering students [1], [2], [3], [5].Notably, project-based learning:  Requires students to connect knowledge and skills from multiple disciplines to address

Stephanie Laughton The CitadelAbstractBackground: PUIs (Primarily Undergraduate Institutions) are recognized for programs focusedon undergraduate student success via high contact between faculty and students without thecompeting interests of graduate students and large technical research programs. While this mayalter the publicity of such programs, the curricular content standards must be maintained foraccreditation via ABET.Purpose and Methods: This descriptive study aims to document the development and spread ofABET Accredited Environmental Engineering programs in the US with a focus on PUIprograms. Such information would be of use for future students and faculty who wish tolearn/work in such a program

oral examination has been given for 15 years in the course “CIE 442: Treatment ProcessEngineering” (2002-2010, 2012-2016, and 2022). The course is required in the BSenvironmental engineering program and satisfies a senior design technical elective for the BScivil engineering program. Characteristics of the students in the course over the study period arelisted in Table 1.The course typically had three examinations. Exam 1 covered design principles, designpopulation, and drinking water treatment. Exam 2 covered drinking water distribution andwastewater collection, while the third exam covered wastewater treatment. During the studyperiod, Exams 1 and 3 were offered only as written examinations. Exam 2 was offered as an oralexam. On nine

Four of five teams successfully met the water qualityrequirements, while only three plants produced at least 15 gallons due to significant leaks in theplexiglass basins.

The othermajors range from other engineers (electrical, bio, etc.) to physics and even history majors.Although the course is not technically required even for MEAM students, over 95% of them takethe course in their first year. Consequently, by teaching sustainability concepts in this class, it notonly reach almost all the mechanical engineers, but a broad cross-section of the undergraduatecommunity. The class is taught each fall and spring semester, and this paper focuses on theaddition of sustainability topics in the Fall 2023 semester.Attitudes towards sustainabilityAn initial survey was given to all students to assess their baseline attitudes towards

The GrandChallenges was quite unique at the time because of its student focus; it activated a grassrootseffort among universities to identify a challenge and find students to meet a challenge, many ofwhich are sustainability-focused. In 2007, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) were born, which centered and directly connected sustainability to education [2], [3].The SDGs provide an excellent framework for understanding which areas of sustainabilityrequire attention and what action might be taken, expanding beyond climate to areas of justice,equity, food insecurity, and wildlife conservation [4], [5].These important initiatives have helped draw attention
