introduction of GIS into the Civil Engineering curricula. 7 In theirarticle, Luna et al. describe their project which was developed to teach students the use of GIS to“reinforce basic concepts taught throughout the curriculum in a comprehensive manner.” 8 Bothhe and Miles acknowledge the recognition of GIS as a beneficial technology in their field ofCivil Engineering. Miles gives several case studies in which GIS has been used as a tool formodeling in Civil Engineering, but also cautions against the potential for misuse in itsapplication.The literature in librarianship is replete with articles discussing libraries’ shifting services andprograms in response to clients’ demands, including that of providing GIS services. 9 Boissedescribes the
from climate change mitigation, poverty reduction, educationand health improvement to the protection of the oceans and ecosystems (Welthungerhilfe 2016).The "Agenda 2030" is the first internationally binding agenda in which these issues have beenaddressed in a universal and transnational manner, involving developing, emerging andindustrialized countries. The agenda was considered to be very promising; at the same time,however, it was criticized that little concrete implementation strategies and indicators werespecified (Institut für transformative Nachhaltigkeitsforschung 2015).Higher education in engineering can use the SDGs to discuss and reflect on topics such assustainability, climate change and global technology use with future engineers
need of engineers to be educated and trained todevelop such complex systems also increases. The current engineering education program in theUnited States follows the criteria of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET), which establishes the minimum requirements for engineering programs at the collegesand universities that form the future high-qualified engineers capable of solving problems by themeans of technology in a constantly evolving society. Students who choose engineering careerstake a variety of courses that teach them how to apply the fundamental principles of science andmath in the learning and understanding of engineering theorems, which are the building blocksof processes and systems. Some of these courses are

Backcountry water purification methods use similar treatment principles asconventional drinking water where physical and chemical treatment techniques such as filtration,disinfection, and adsorption are commonly used. Additionally, the author’s previousobservations of students’ lack of understanding of appropriate technology in the developingworld led to some of the pre and post lab activities.

‘transformative learning’ may be relevant [30-34].Mezirow [30] described the goal of higher education is to help individuals become “moreautonomous, socially responsible thinkers”, and linked transformation theory to moral values[30, p. 8-9]. The large differences in culture during international travel or engagement perhapsresult in discomfort or ‘disorienting dilemmas’ [31-34]. Thus, one’s awareness of needs isheightened, one recognizes the role that engineering and technology could play in helping, andone’s sense of responsibility to help through engineering is catalyzed. However, transformativelearning theory stresses the role of critical reflection and discourse in transforming experienceinto changes in one’s attitudes, values, and/or knowledge [30
