Literature has discussed various approaches and challenges toincorporate sustainability in civil engineering capstone design course [9]–[11], teachingsustainable infrastructure through active learning methods [12], [13], integrating sustainabilityconcepts and rating systems into civil engineering curricula [14]–[20]. However, there is a gap inthe literature that explores effective schemes to integrate sustainability throughout four years ofthe Bachelor's program. This study addresses this gap by presenting a comprehensive frameworkalong with best practices

, 2]. Training students to develop design thinking and skills will allow them to enterprofessional practice ready to participate in the challenge of infrastructure re-design. Indeed,ABET requires that students have “an ability to apply engineering design to producesolutions…” upon graduation [3]. Perhaps the most effective way to guide students indeveloping design skills is through engagement in real-world projects. Furthermore, providingauthentic design experiences in a supportive educational environment that encourages successcan build self-efficacy (one’s beliefs in their ability to achieve specific tasks), which in turn fuelsmotivation to succeed as an engineer [4]. Promoting engineering self-efficacy is a promisingstrategy for retaining

Students will compile a learningportfolio throughout the semester documenting their design solutions for each module, as well asself-reflections on their initial choice of specialization and the impact modules had on theirchoice of specialization (either confirming their initial choice or providing evidence why analternative may be a better fit).The intended advantages of
