expectations for affective outcomes related to sustainability as part ofundergraduate education specified in the CEBOK3, the research aimed to demonstrate the use ofsimple Likert-type survey questions to measure sustainability attitudes in civil engineeringstudents. The specific research questions explored were:To what extent do first-year (FY) and senior civil engineering (CE) students value sustainableengineering? RQ1. Has this changed significantly between 2014 and 2018? RQ2. Does this differ between FY and senior students? RQ3. Does this differ based on gender? RQ4. Does this differ between international and domestic students? RQ5. For individual students, did this change between FY and senior year?MethodsCase study

One example is “They spend too muchtime on it and not enough on technical aspects of engineering” and another is “I believe that undergraduate exposure to these topics must be limited in scope and duration. They will not have a foundation to apply these concepts until after they work for a few years. We should make sure they are aware of NSPE [National Society of Professional Engineers] and other codes of ethics, open their eyes to the broader topics of engineering in a global society and instill in them that we only gave them a glimpse of what they will encounter.

Similar themes are expressed in the Creating a Culture for Scholarlyand Systematic Innovation in Engineering Education (CCSSI) Phase I report3. Implementing theidentified changes needed in academia has proven to be a more complex and slower process thatcontinues to lag behind the pace of change in technology and the world economy. It is clearfrom the literature and our experience that engineering educational reform is a journey, not adestination and often a slow journey at that. As early as 1996 the University of Wisconsin-Madison was participating in and presenting methodologies related to educational reform4. Theseefforts

However, the hands-on aspect of the project elevated my learning well beyond what the typical capstone project would have. I would do it again for sure, perhaps without the education portion” “The weekly meetings with our advisor definitely helped us keep on track and stay responsible for completing what we said we'd complete each week and was a good outlet for questions and getting suggestions.
