work in progress paper describes a new program that integrates business and engineeringcurriculum. Investments in science, mathematics, and engineering education have increased as amatter of national economic competitiveness [1]. Engineering and business are increasinglyconnected in today’s technological and global workplace and there is a need for graduates whosecompetencies span these fields [2]. Educators have been developing approaches that linkbusiness and engineering curriculum within traditional classes [ 3,4] as well as programs thatprovide minors and degrees for students crossing traditional disciplinary boundaries of businessand engineering [6-8].

In 1997, the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) adopted Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000), whichfurther emphasized that accredited engineering programs need to consider the ability to functionon multidisciplinary teams within their curriculums [1].

-level courses. LCA is amindset and tool via which students can add a quantitative aspect (e.g., carbon footprint) to theirdesign choices [2], including seemingly qualitative decisions. Furthermore, students might not beaware of the applications, tools, or contexts surrounding environmentally-minded design [3]. Toaddress the need for more sustainability in engineering education, we developed a new LCAmodule for our first-year engineering program at Ohio Northern University. We want ourstudents to develop a big-picture understanding about everything that happens during the designprocess. Through our module, students are encouraged to think holistically about engineering.LCA module development and classroom dissemination Within Ohio
