Mechanical engineering was selected for two keyreasons. First, the dominant industry focus of mechanical engineering makes it a useful site forexploring the school-to-work transition of new graduates. Second, ME is one of the largestengineering fields nationally and the largest department at the study university, providing anopportunity to obtain a larger and more diverse sample.

in recent decades, the careful study ofliberation has not been welcomed, on par, in higher education. Across the research, teaching, andoutreach missions of the broader higher education networks worldwide, one will find greatdifficulty locating research programs, courses, or public interest programs informed by liberatorypraxis and theory, in either a formal or informal sense. However, throughout the world varioussocio-cultural, political, and economic movements stem from decolonial projects engaged in thepraxis and study of liberation, and precisely where conventional conceptions of morality andjustice have fallen short.38 The unsettling contention for scholars in industrialized nations appearsas such: whereas systems of moral community and

The iterative validation confirmed theimportance of many rubric criteria, but also revealed opportunities to add or refine criteria thatwere not adequately represented in the rubric. In addition, iterative validation supported potentialremoval or consolidation of criteria that did not seem to be broadly applicable to sustainability oracross disciplines. Since the sustainable design rubric is intended for undergraduate studentprojects, there were also categories within the frameworks deemed inappropriate for student-level projects.
