While engineers arenot solely responsible for achieving these goals, they do have much to contribute. To that end,the U.S. National Society of Professional Engineers’ Code of Ethics expects engineers “to adhereto the principles of sustainable development in order to protect the environment for futuregenerations” [3]. In addition, the SDGs overlap with several of the National Academy ofEngineering’s 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering in the 21st century, such as providing accessto clean water and ensuring access to clean energy, but they also go far beyond to address therestoration of ecosystems and women empowerment [4].

To practice this, a relevant, real-world example related to the sustainability of engineered flood-control systems in the New Orleans region is investigated by students. Student projects examine the importance of sustainability throughout the design process as they progress from initial concept to sustainable flood management systems. Introduction The Code of Ethics for the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) states that engineers have an ethical obligation to hold paramount the health, safety and welfare of the public in the performance of their professional duties (Eide, et al., 2002). The Code also addresses sustainability: “Engineers shall strive to adhere to the principles of sustainable
