Although it is perhaps not surprising that agroup of EA educators and stakeholders would see a need to expand EA education, it is moresurprising that they also felt that the quality of EA education is low.

Forinstance, engineering students associate their professional goals more with environmentalsustainability and view the implementation of sustainable development as a professionalrequirement not a personal one [13, 16]. There remains a need to further understand howengineering students perceive sustainability and climate change and how these complex social-ecological-technological systems (SETS) influence not only their career plans but also theirprofessional practice [2].

Engineering has not, however, been broadly embraced by liberal arts institutions,often being seen as being overly career-focused and not sufficiently broad in its educationalapproach. Liberal arts institutions also tend to be much smaller in size, which can make itchallenging to furnish an engineering program with the specialized facilities and equipment itrequires. Furthermore, liberal arts institutions typically have comparatively larger core curricula,which can make it challenging to design a robust engineering curriculum that is completable infour years.A few small engineering colleges exist (e.g. Harvey Mudd, Rose-Hulman, and Olin College)whose enrollment ranges from a few hundred to a couple thousand
