The first model entails a single course on the social analysis of sustainabledesign, taught as a social sciences course but attempting to connect to and leverage (primarilyengineering) students’ disciplinary expertise and interests. The second model is a newlyinstituted undergraduate minor in “sustainability studies” that is offered in Science andTechnology Studies (STS). This minor is targeted to students across campus and, hence, isdesigned to complement a variety of majors, including engineering majors. The third model is apilot collaboration among three courses, each with a different lens on sustainable design. Thefourth and final model is an effort to
