A sustainable design approach must focus on minimizing negative socialimpacts to allow a solution to be effective throughout its useful life. Engineers trained with anemphasis on sustainability in design will approach problem solving with non-technicalconstraints, like social engineering at the forefront of their design.Integrating sustainable design concepts into engineering education allows engineering students todevelop skills that extend beyond the scope of a traditional engineering curriculum by adding aglobal perspective.

with MET are computer-aided drawing(CAD), machine design, structural design, thermal design, fluid design, manufacturing,materials, safety, and others. After allowing for general education requirements, insufficienttime is available to study all of these topics in a Bachelor of science curriculum. Consequently,compromises must be made in designing the MET curriculum. Between MET programs,considerable latitude in the curricula may exist. Additionally, TAC/ABET may have causedmore topic depth and less breadth than would otherwise occur. Large MET programs may offera wider variety of courses than smaller programs, and local industry probably influences thebreath of topics offered.

As a result of implementing the Miamiplan, liberal education is integrated into the engineering technology curriculum all through fouryears..The Miami plan has two parts; Foundation and Focus. The ‘Foundation’ requirement is met bytaking 36 semester hours of courses (Table-I).

On the other hand, I am not yet ready tothrow in the towel…!” Yost is typical of instructors who struggle to implement ACL and thedifficulties she faced hinder other engineering instructors trying ACL. Additionally, faculty whothink they are using ACL may, in fact, not be using it effectively.

To ensure that such adaptations do not under-cut the efficacy of well-designed material,it is essential to educate teachers regarding the underlying frameworks and engage them in thedesign of curricula [25]. Research suggests that involving teachers in curriculum developmentrequires PD that actively engages them in the design of new context-based units [26]. A five-phaseteacher PD model, created by researchers [27], to support such a process consists of: (i) dialogueabout research and national goals; (ii) articulation of personal beliefs; (iii) design of curriculum;(iv) alignment of curriculum with school environment; and (v) design of assessments.
