utilize the technical knowledge available to themeffectively, but they also must understand foundations of the social settings in which they wish toapply that technology. Engineering, by its nature, is a multidisciplinary endeavor requiring skillsand knowledge from a variety of backgrounds.In a recent accreditation review of engineering programs at the University of Minnesota Duluth(UMD), the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) visitors suggested that away be found to instill in students a more complete appreciation for this “ProfessionalComponent” of engineering. According to ABET criteria, students should understand howengineering relates to activities in • Economics, • Environment

learning. The outcomes-based approach requires ashift from a teacher centered pedagogical approach to a student-centered approach. Evenso, this slow adoption of active learning is apparent despite a dramatic increase in ourcapabilities and capacity to leverage instructional technologies, and that as project-baseddesign education has become common in engineering programs. Active learningpedagogies challenge the more traditional teacher-centered pedagogies such as lectures,which are the dominant form of delivery. This slow adoption is apparent notwithstandingthe large body of evidence demonstrating the efficacy of student-centered approaches.This resistance to active learning can also be noted in both engineering educators andengineering students

The Case for Sustainable Engineering in Undergraduate Engineering Education Sean K. Turner, Rowan University, New JerseyAbstractPrivate sector and government programs represent investments of billions of dollars in therenewable energy field, which is experiencing unprecedented demand. There are many reasonsfor this demand including that it is a constant growing field due to the need for alternativegeneration means to address peak loads and to meet carbon reduction goals, among others.Renewable energy technologies are important on a global basis due to pressures on conventionalfossil-fuel energy resources used to power the majority of today’s societal needs.

A nationallyrepresentative study of engineering instructors and administrators showed that both programchairs and instructors reported their programs and courses gave only slight to moderate emphasison understanding how engineering solutions could be shaped by social, environmental, political,and cultural contexts or considerations, despite acknowledging the importance of such emphases[12]. Relatedly, in a longitudinal study of undergraduate engineering students, Cech [13], [14]found that students’ beliefs in the importance of professional and ethical responsibilities,awareness of the consequences of technology, understanding of how people use machines, andtheir social consciousness all declined over the course of their degree program
