Looking at the percentage of the United Statesworkforce that is employed in the agricultural sector (Figure 1), we can see that the agriculturalrevolution entered its post revolution stage in the US around the 1980s. The data for themanufacturing sector shows a downwards trend in the percentage of workers employed in thissector that starts around the 1960s. This is due to a number of causes including higherautomation, a shift towards a service economy, and outsourcing of manufacturing jobs out of theUS.

The higher leveragedinterventions are in the area of shifting paradigms and freeing the curricular structure. Thestrategies that could effectively advance sustainability education include: a clear nationaldevelopment policy, standardization of sustainability competencies by the engineeringaccreditation organization, development of a low-barrier means for faculty education, andmerging of academic engineering departments.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work supported by the National
