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

In each subsequentyear, the leadership team recognized the need to better integrate these topics in futureyears to better emphasize the need for equity work to be embedded in STEM pedagogy,and not as something entirely separate.

The SAE competition projects are well-known by students with prior-years’ vehicles available, strict timelines, and a year-to-yearprocess of continual improvement.

Due to theaforementioned reduction in credit hours and the coincidental expansion of topics to teach, the civilengineering faculty at OIT did not have space in the curriculum to develop new service learning orprofessional skills courses and they desired to have these skills introduced prior to entering thecapstone design experience. As such, the civil engineering faculty at OIT attempted to introduce thebasics of management, business, public policy, and leadership piecemeal throughout the curriculum,especially during a course on project management.
