For instance, a sustainability-themed economics class would meet the requirement for the sustainability designation and also count for the engineering economics requirement. c) A sustainability-related practical experience, such as an internship, a research experience, or a capstone design project. Typically, this requirement bears no credit load although it could be fulfilled within an engineering student’s four-credit design class. d) A one-semester-hour engineering Sustainability Analysis course, ENGR 384, which serves as an introduction to such topics as life cycle assessment, risk and

Courses withlabs and sizeable design projects, especially those tied to ABET EAC Student Outcome 5, had amuch larger fraction of team-based activity points than those without labs or large courseprojects. To examine teamwork as a teaching method, an evaluation of student grades indicatedthat team-based activities did not equally benefit all students, with lower performing studentsreceiving a larger grade benefit. In similar fashion, group learning exercises did not significantlyimprove student learning for subsequently administered individual exams. When studentlearning related to team selection

A list of primary research articles were compiled covering a range oftopics including environmental disasters (e.g., hurricanes Maria and Irma), hazardous spills (e.g.,East Palestine), and poor decision-making (e.g., Flint water crisis). Students working in groupswere asked to read different articles from the list, select one disaster, research the event further,and either give a PowerPoint presentation or write a report. A post-project survey and a reflectionpaper were administered at the end of the module. In both the engineering and
