children’s awareness and motivations and preventingmisconceptions with a constructively designed curriculum. A real-life implementation ofcurriculum integration of sustainability in the K-12 setting plays a key role in validating andevaluating the feasibility of this approach. In this study, a module of sustainability was designedfor 12 one-hour sessions over 3 months with a focus on the recycling of electronics and wasimplemented in an industrial-oriented class. We use instructor reflections to provide preliminaryinsights for addressing difficulties associated with sustainability education, i.e., whether middleschool youth can relate the societal and economic aspects to the sustainability concept.Purpose of StudyThe purpose of the study is to

The aim of our Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement project is to meldthe problem-based learning pedagogy with CAMS to produce students with an in-depthunderstanding of the fundamentals of chemical engineering as well as the ability to use computersimulation packages effectively in the workplace. The approach used here is to integrate the useof CAMS throughout the entire chemical engineering curriculum.

PBLis an appropriate strategy for teaching students to engage in complex problem solving, andindeed may be one of the only effective methods for doing so (Shepherd and Cosgrif, 1998,Tomkinson et al., 2008). The vertically-integrated problem-based learning (PBL) frameworkdeveloped in the course of this TUES project provides undergraduate students with bothknowledge and tools needed to address urban sustainability issues in their future careers, whetherin industry or academe. This framework is replicable and can thus be deployed acrossuniversities as part of the CCEM curriculum. In this TUES project, the researchers develop a problem-based learning framework that (1)introduces sustainability earlier in the undergraduate curriculum, and (2

Ideally, the IC would be usedthroughout an undergraduate engineering curriculum as a standardized framework for thinkingabout design. Early on, students could be asked to interact with the IC using current designs thatare on the market (like the toothbrush example discussed earlier) or by watching as others workthrough the design process. Later on, students could explore the individual sections of the IC ascomponents of different classes through the curriculum.

Integrated curricula allow students to engage in systems thinking as they integrateknowledge across domains3.
