issues.”Undergraduate curricula need to be updated to train engineers to operate according to asustainable design paradigm. Indeed, numerous educators and researchers have reported onefforts to incorporate sustainable design principles into design courses and projects [4, 5].However, a systematic review of ASEE proceedings showed a lack of rigorously-developedassessment tools for capturing the efficacy of interventions on student sustainable design skills[6]. Rubrics in particular are a promising assessment tool because they can be used for studentsto scaffold application of sustainable design principles and also by instructors to quantify theimpacts of their course innovations [7, 8].

concentration.In the fall semester of 2016, we heard a “call” from the community of Mount Vernon, Ohio. Itwas a need expressed to us - the Ariel Foundation Park Learning Trails project needed help fromour engineering students to conduct a study of the history of a century-old bridge and createeducational materials for the community. We gladly took it on as a class project since studentswere studying finite element methods and learning a new software – ANSYS. We were rewardedfor it - students loved this service project as it created a link between abstract engineering theoryand everyday objects they could touch and see. Along the process they learned what they neededto learn - the CAE tool. It was a win-win situation. In the following sections, we will

Furthermore, users typically become dependent on the reliable operation of these systems hence premature failures can have serious negative consequences.Dr

answers is a lessauthentic representation of computer programming skill than projects that ask students to writeand test real computer programs. To combat plagiarism, project-centric programming courses often use plagiarism softwarelike Stanford MOSS in order to flag and investigate potential plagiarism cases. The idea behindthe use of such a program is that of deterrence: If these tools are good enough at detectingplagiarized code, and students are aware of their existence, then students will not plagiarize, lestthey get caught with solid, algorithmic proof behind the potential accusation. In practice, it is notso simple. Some students attempt to beat plagiarism programs. More difficult still is whenstudents are not aware of their own
