Student exit interviews were reviewed andapproximately 60 current engineering students met with task force members for input. The workby Ray Landis 1 and others on novel freshmen engineering programs was also reviewed and theimproved retention rates shown were the driving force to modify the existing programs.The first decision was to require the freshman engineering program courses to be taken by

teaching sustainability in an engineering curriculum is to foster civicresponsibility and develop informed citizens who are responsible to their professions,communities, posterity and to the world. This paper involves a guided student study ofsustainability in engineering. Essentially students began to investigate how we as engineersutilize and implement existing research and products into delivery to the customer particularly interms of green engineering. Due to rising costs in energy, engineering services delivered need tobe self sustaining whether new or reconstructed.The course provided the students the ability to investigate and document green constructionpractices and its impact on sustainability in real world applications.

In antebellum America, colleges were small, with several hundred students beingviewed as a large enrollment. The antebellum college usually offered just one degree, a B.A.degree, which was implemented by a lock-step curriculum focused on classical studies.(Science was a recent addition.)
