variations, most universities suggestthe importance of these competencies as helping students become career-ready, lifelong learners.Each engineering program, including architectural engineering, requires faculty to consider,envision, articulate, conceptualize, and prioritize these competencies [9]. Also, prior research hashighlighted the importance of these integrations at curriculum and course levels [10], [11]. Also,the literature highlights the importance of investigating the impact of such integration onstudents learning and career trajectories [11][12]. However, these integrations are usually eitherad hoc or do not follow the evidence-based practice approach. These issues lead to a largerconversation of systematic and mindful integration of

teaching approach becomes an implicit strategy recognisably when topics are not directlyrelated to sustainability. In this instance, a common approach was to position engagement withsustainability via a systems perspective that could influence any area of civil engineering. Oneeducator illustrated this indirect route as follows: In our unit, what we try to do is to embed not directly, but everything we talk about is closely related to sustainability. We want students to have this in mind when they design the roads and in the construction of the road. (Educator C, Australian University)Educators perceive sustainability could be connected to any engineering topic covered in thediscipline-based units. This was particularly visible

Engineering colleges are under pressureto not only graduate students but to graduate more well-rounded engineers who can tackle themany challenges we face.

Project-basedservice learning (PBSL) programs are defying most engineering education trends by exhibitingexplosive involvement, diversity, and excitement for the profession.Yet, these project-based service learning opportunities are complicated by their rapid grassrootsdevelopment; much of the findings today on their impacts are anecdotal and qualitative.

we could undertake on our own. We decided that we needed to modi~ the program to be a part of the institutions already within theCollege of Engineering and then try to get the Dean to adopt it as a college program. With this in mind, wemarried our vision with the existing teaching assistantship program, thereby creating Mentored TeachingAssistantships (MTAs). These positions would provide our mentoring relationships and would be awarded aftera joint studentifaculty member application. The only real difference between this and our original idea is thatapplications would be to the departments of the College of Engineering (since they assign TAs) instead of to-ASEE and that MTAs would look like regular TAs to the University
