sustainability had beenintegrated as an important theme. However, there was generally little organization to the effortsto infuse engineering education with sustainability, and the report suggested that standardsshould be developed for sustainability in engineering education. Another finding regardingsustainability education in US engineering schools was that such education tends “to emphasizethe immediate environmental and social impacts of engineering designs”7. This indicates theabsence of a critical long term sustainability component. The present status of sustainability inhigher education has been considered as: “Although efforts are being made in pursuit ofsustainability the current glut of unsustainable practices in the US and around the globe

by www.slayte.comFlipping classrooms, sowing seeds and developing confidence: teachingengineering judgement to undergraduate engineering studentsAbstractVarious accreditation documents constantly suggest that engineering judgement is a corefacet of a graduate engineers skills set (for example I.ChemE, I.MechE, ABET). It is of greatimportance to all engineering disciplines, and yet as educators we are given little guidance onhow best to develop engineering judgement in our students. However, it is not always clearthat students have sufficiently developed their judgement by the time they graduate. As such,more work needs to be done in understanding both how engineering judgement can bedeveloped and the obstacles in place that often prevent

Infact most, if not all, of these abilities are best developed in practice. With the EnterpriseProgram, MTU has created a new and different experience designed to educate and preparegraduating engineers for more productive and successful careers. The Enterprise Curriculum isoffered as a 20-credit minor or a 12-credit concentration, typically completed over two to three-years. The curriculum is two-pronged and consists of 1) participation in the operation of abusiness (project work) and 2) completion of concentrated course material

One widely studied impact of these challenges is transfer shock, adip in the GPAs of transfer students during the first one or two terms after transfer6. Althoughbelieved to be nearly universal, transfer shock is generally not severe10 and Cantrell et al.1 havetheorized that pre-transfer support programs are one technique that can be used to help transferstudents get through their transfer shock and “experience the rewards of their efforts.”We were interested in comparing how well our transfer students were doing in comparison withtheir native classmates. One measure of success is how long a student takes to graduate and dothey ever graduate. The most commonly used metric for graduation and
