ENGR0012 is a second-semester core course thatcompletes the computer programming portion of the integrated curriculum package. Thiscourse focuses on the following curricular goals: teach students a general-purposeprogramming language, promote and encourage good programming practices, and illustratethe role computers play in solving real-world engineering problems. While both coursesoriginally covered many basic programming and problem-solving skills, they did not provideenough opportunities for written and oral presentation assignments or for effective advising.Advising ConcernsThe first-year student

consider engineering design-related issues more fully, and resist the urge to cometo a quick conclusion thus develop long-term sustainable thinking.Our SL projects are good examples of inquiry-based learning that allow students to emphasizeresearch and learning in areas of most interest to them (i.e., inquiry-based). The SL projectsaddress real-world open-ended problems and emphasize academic and intellectual development,civic engagement, and personal/interpersonal skills for the student while providing a meaningfulservice to the community partner. Examples of sustainability in the SL projects within requiredcourses at different levels are given below. Science Center Prototype Exhibits and
