Preliminary responses from students have demonstrated that theframework can be successful at impacting students’ values and motivations related to sustainabledesign.Future work with the SaS Framework will involve extending the discipline-specific curriculummodules to other fields in engineering and design, both at the authors’ university and at otherChristian institutions where the Biblical approach may be similarly effective. As the SaSFramework is adapted to other programs and institutions, the aim is also to implement a moreformal assessment to evaluate the framework’s effectiveness at

Oral exams also promote faculty-student interactions after the exams[13].

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

However, integrating humanities courses into an already jam-packedengineering curriculum remains a persistent obstacle [13].The integration of humanities into engineering education often faces challenges due to theprevalence of traditional teaching methods and a lack in pedagogical innovation. As highlightedby Feldt and Petersen [14], educational institutions can be resistant to change, lagging behind inresponding to the evolving needs of engineers to adapt to the broader world issues suchas climate change, globalisation, etc. which have wide-ranging impacts on the economy, culture
