fromelite to universal higher education and knowledge growth have significantly increased the cost ofhigher education while federal, state, and corporate support has not adequately responded to thisworsening condition. The Neal Report10 documented a number of quality problems inundergraduate infrastructure, a funding focus on graduate education and research, and a low-level of support for initiatives by the National Science Foundation (NSF). In response, the NSFstarted funding research experiences for undergraduates and created recognition awards for theintegration of research and education.

At ASEE 2014, we presented preliminary results fromthe first WPSI iteration. Following the 2014 conference, we identified the need for a valid,reliable, and easily replicable assessment measure that could be used both within and outside ofWPSI to measure the attainment of a series of sustainability-related learning objectivesthroughout the engineering education research community.1 In this paper, we present the ongoingdevelopment and refinement of this measure, the Sustainability Skills and Dispositions Scale(SSDS).
