And one of the classes was in the Forest Resources Department. And so the definitions we were using in that class were very different from the definitions in this class.” -- James, Mechanical Engineering “I have a pretty okay idea of sustainability after interning at certain places and maybe taking a few classes but maybe that was in high school. I feel like the first day of class in , asked the class if anyone knew what sustainability is and nobody raised their hand.

Notonly does culpability need to be established justly after a disaster, but the success of newtechnology depends on accurately predicting how technology and the individuals andsocieties with which it interacts will behave.

Iron isimportant to the US plans for a lunar outpost. It does not rust in space, making it an excellentconstruction material. Circumpolar railroad tracks would allow a slowly-moving train to followthe sun, making agriculture possible, and enabling continuous operation of factories producingsolar cells and oxygen for life support and propulsion. Designing an iron harvesting apparatusfor the unique lunar environment requires that students re-think tacit assumptions about howthings work.Within the context of a 33-student summer program, two college interns

As required by all accreditationsystems, all surveyed engineering programs included sustainability education as part of the core,required curriculum. However, we find that departmental culture and discipline-specificperceptions may play a larger role than accreditation requirements in shaping and promotingsustainability education. As a result, curricula (and student experience) varies significantlybetween programs and between universities. We further discuss existing challenges faced bystudents and instructors in this context, and how these challenges relate to accreditation.1 IntroductionIt is difficult to overstate the effects of unsustainable human
