ensure future engineers areequipped with the necessary skills to address global environmental issues.At SVSU, engineering ethics is offered as one of the topics in the course titled ‘engineering careers andconcepts’, which is offered to all incoming freshmen engineering students, and in senior year, students areprovided an exposure through their capstone design project. However. Engineering ethics is offered as ageneral education course for all engineering students in sophomore year. On average, there are 100students who register for the GenEd and Freshmen 100-level course in an academic year, and 25 studentsin capstone design course.

As of2021, women comprised only 31% of environmental engineers in the U.S. While there has beenan increase in the number of women pursuing engineering degrees and careers, gender disparitiesin performance and representation continue to persist. Addressing these disparities requires adeeper understanding of gender dynamics in

The academic statuscategories include career change, dropout, academic elimination, ongoing enrollment, degreeawarded, and permanent withdrawal. Notably, by the fourth year, only 53% of students remainedactive, underscoring significant challenges in curricular compliance and student retention.By their fourth year, 30 students remained enrolled, while one student had graduated—havingentered with prior coursework via internal transfer—and 26 students had left the program.Among these 26 non-active students, 14 withdrew in the first year, and nine withdrew in thesecond year.

Curricular Pathway in Environmental EngineeringAbstractCurrently, students majoring in civil engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology(RHIT) do not get exposure to discipline-specific course content in environmental engineeringuntil the final quarter of Year 3. We’ve noticed that many students we’ve advised come into theirfirst year with an interest in environmental engineering, but they tend to choose different pathsbefore they even have a course in environmental engineering. We developed a plan that re-envisions the pathway for the environmental engineering curriculum. We evaluated differentscenarios of curriculum pathways to provide students with exposure to environmentalengineering content earlier in their academic career. Through this

The minor also provides extracurricularopportunities for students to explore topics of interest, in conjunction with mentoring andparticipation in a community of practice. Through this instruction, mentoring, and peer support,the minor establishes sustainability as an overarching context for the study of engineering,serving as a compass to guide students to consciously integrate sustainability principles andpractices throughout their academic programs and career pathways.2 Taken as a whole, theminor supports students to develop a comprehensive sustainability mindset [2] that will preparethem as engineers for the 21st century.A hallmark of the minor is

The Committee also sought extensive constituent input during thedevelopment of the EEBOK2 through, inter alia, a series of quantitative and qualitativesurveys. The Committee relied heavily on the constituent survey responses along with theaforementioned resources (ASCE 2004, ASCE 2008, ASCE 2019, NASEM 2019, NCEES2019, NCEES 2020).As an aspirational compass for the profession, the EEBOK2 applies to all environmentalengineers, regardless of career path or area of practice. Accordingly, it should be ofinterest to a broad audience, including educators, students, emerging

Thefindings will provide key information for designing appropriate strategies in the future to integratesustainability into academic programs effectively. These strategies will ensure that they areeducational, effective, and contextualized, addressing STEM programs

It teaches students how to analyzeproblems, identify causes and effects, and understand the conditions under which certainprocesses occur and their impact on environmental quality.
