It is not expected that students have exposure to fluidsthough some students may have received instruction on fluid behavior in college physics courses.As in the case for many institutions, the thermo-fluids lab equipment used for fluid power andmechanics, applied thermal sciences, and thermal system design courses are located in the samephysical space. The lecture-lab format is also used for these other two courses.The fluid power lab has equipment purchased from commercial lab equipment suppliers and in-house built equipment.

aimed to implement a sustainability component in the undergraduate levelclass. The student adopted sustainability component in their senior project for consecutive 2spring semesters. In one class, the students calculated the carbon footprint for a highway project.In another class, they students perform the life cycle analysis (LCA) for another constructionproject. The paper describes in detail the sustainability component of the design. This study willassist other engineering and engineering technology educators to include sustainability designcomponent in their corresponding courses.BackgroundWhile sustainability was arguably a niche concern prior to the 1990s, it is a topic of everydayconversation today. Acting in a sustainable manner is a

In fact, the semantic inconsistencies in the report were glaring. Forexample, KSA 14: Teamwork skills and ability to function on multidisciplinary teams(ability) was called an ability. Yet the term skills was used inclusively inside thedescription. This crossover carried on to other KSAs, such as KSA 18: Ability to usenew technology and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice (skill),and KSA 31: Ability to deal with ambiguity and complexity (skill).The point of this criticism is not to demand absolute consistency.

The implications of this knowledge-generation approach todiscipline exploration are then applied to Software Engineering as an engineering discipline.This application aims at distinguishing Software Engineering from the scientific and engineeringaspects of Computer Science.A cursory introduction to the literature of the philosophy of engineering reveals competingviewpoints on what distinguishes scientific from engineering knowledge, including engineering(and technology) as applied science (2 p. 42) and the influence of knowledge generation as ameans to distinguish between ‘scientific’ and ‘engineering’ knowledge. When seen through thelens of a pragmatic theory of knowledge, the crucial characteristics of scientific
