This paper explores learningoutcomes in an existing course within this curriculum (i.e., “Engineering for Human Rights”)by analyzing original exit survey data from enrolled students. Our survey instrument integratedNew Ecological Paradigm (NEP) statements to assess variation in perceptions of the usefulnessof the course content as it relates to sustainability. The findings of this study have implicationsand suggestions for designing interdisciplinary curricula that integrate engineering,sustainability, and human rights in engineering education.Keywords – Human Rights framework

implementation of a new course in communications through thecreation of a computer-based laboratory for modeling and simulating communicationsystems. The lecture course in a typical Electrical Engineering (EE) curriculum, alongwith this laboratory, provide a totally integrated delivery system for teaching a widespectrum of topics ranging from transmission/reception concepts and applications toperformance analysis of fiber optic networks. The laboratory is easily implemented byconstructing a PC-based computer network supporting several simulation tools. Studentsare able to access a variety of software packages for analysis of different communicationsystems. The topics covered in the laboratory can be divided into three categories:communication signals

An important lesson to learn is that professorsshould regularly attend each others classes or at the very least meet regularly to ensure course coordination.According to their evaluations, students felt professors must work diligently to integrate and coordinate theirlectures. As mentioned before, the professors could see distinct advantages to attending each others classes.Meeting outside of class to structure the syllabus is important but true integration can only occur if bothprofessors are in class to add insight to the topic under discussion. Of course this will require the mutualrespect of the faculty participants to ensure that no one faculty member becomes the dominant

theschoolhouse on the first day is now gone. Students are taught discrete, integral conceptswith very little attachment to the learning style or framework of the learner. Therefore,most ideas are taught in an abstract way, with students trying to memorize enoughinformation to pass the six-weeks exam and the final exam at the end of the year. Rotememory is the order of the day.By the time the student reaches the university level, he or she has learned how to "workthe system." Courses quite often become more structured, focused upon a single domainor discipline, and so may be termed “uni-disciplinary.” For the sake of explanation, let’simagine four illustrious professors, Drs.
