reform efforts require effectivemethods for assessing student sustainable design abilities. One approach for both stimulatingstudent learning and facilitating assessment is the use of rubrics. Rubrics can be used byinstructors to evaluate the quality of student work, but can also be used prior to assignments tohelp students learn about different dimensions of sustainability, establish expectations forsustainable design, and self-assess how well principles were applied to design projects.The goal of this project is to develop and validate a sustainable design rubric that can be easilyadapted and applied across engineering disciplines or for interdisciplinary problem-solving.

For instance, the chemical engineering course involved thedesign of a plant (without implementing the design) while mechanical engineering projectsinvolved the design of devices and required construction and testing.
