A broad, sustainability-focusededucation will prepare engineering students to make the world a better place for all people.This project helped us understand sophomore Mechanical Engineering students’ views onsustainability and the relationship of sustainability to engineering. With these results as abackdrop, we are now interviewing faculty and students to develop a more nuanced picture oftheir views on sustainability. This will help us understand the culture of sustainability in thedepartment so that we can develop a targeted, integrated, developmental curriculum.References1. Obama, B. (2011). State of the

Scale (SSDS), was designed to measure four sustainability-related outcomes: (a) confidence in responding to wicked problems and awareness of (b) global,(c) social, and (d) environmental responsibilities as a designer. The SSDS was implementedpre-post within a course context as part of a multi-university initiative called the WickedProblems in Sustainability Initiative (WPSI) during the Fall of 2014.The primary objective of this paper was to provide an overview of the reliability of the SSDSand to consider where the SSDS may still be improved for optimal alignment with WPSIobjectives and outcomes. Our secondary goal was to consider where WPSI may be improved inthe future in light of the survey results, which included the survey items and written

Eash’s [16] curriculum components include:(a) framework of assumptions about the learner and society; (b) aims and objectives; (c) contentor subject matter with its selection, scope, and sequence; (d) modes of transaction, for example,methodology and learning environments; and (e) evaluation.

Most of the other options for the scenarioresponses are regarded either as more passive (tending towards a perspective of “it’s not myproblem”) or more active (taking significantly more action up through whistleblower actions).For Scenario 1 the only other options selected more than once by those taking both classes werea (16%) and h (5%), both more passive actions.

distinct from and, we argue, secondary to how individuals are orientedtoward ethics generally. Frameworks emphasize how individuals value, in terms of the practical rational andmotivational aspects of decision-making, while foundations of ethics emphasize what individuals value, orhow value priorities are structured for each individual. In the context of engineering, you might imagine ascenario where an individual engineer approaches a problem X with a certain implicit value orientation (callit A). A second engineer approaches that same problem X with a different value orientation, B. Aframework-based approach to engineering ethics might help us understand that these two engineers maymake different decisions, but they do not – and cannot – help us
