Although design is widely considered asthe most distinguishing and fundamental activity of engineering [1], most curricula have it either isolatedin the senior year or sometimes also in the first year. Now, as the engineering curriculum has progressed,first year design courses, known as the cornerstone engineering courses, and fourth year design courses,referred to as capstone courses, have seen increased development as well [1]. However, these capstonecourses serve as the only standard opportunity across engineering education for undergraduateengineering students to showcase their engineering

As such, students in theseclassrooms may have a less rigorous understanding of underlying fundamentals.10One drawback of project-based learning is that hands-on activities are not automatically “minds-on.”17 Oftentimes, the focus of activities becomes object manipulation rather than knowledgeattainment and skill development. This separation between activities and content can beperpetuated by teachers who routinely emphasize the task to be completed rather than thematerial to be learned, a common mistake.23An intertwining of content and projects must therefore occur if the aim of product design is toemploy disciplinary practices. Ideally, successful products will demonstrate achievement,providing indicators of learning

These requirements may not be fullyimplemented, but they do influence the shape of curricula, and reduce the freedom of a programor institution's faculty. Although many faculty believe that formalizing a five year bachelor'sprogram would best serve their students, few institutions will take the risk of losing enrollmentby acknowledging that successful completion of the bachelors requirements often takes fiveyears. With a serious decrease in high school students’ interest in engineering, consideration ofcurricular innovation is made in a context of competition for students with other institutions andother fields of study.

Rubric evaluation of student reports revealed that students’performance in senior design projects is primarily driven by their instructor’s expectations; ifsustainability is not a major deliverable, then students are less likely to integrate sustainabilityconcepts that they learned from prior classes in their reports. To make sustainability a priority,senior design project requirements should be updated to explicitly require holistic sustainabil-ity applications. Instructors could approach raising sustainability expectations by engaging asustainability expert as an advisor to the senior design course and/or utilizing a sustainabilityexpert as project mentor, as demonstrated in the success of one senior design project at
