Last year 120 students were introduced into the course, and this year 80 more students are involved in the project. Thus far, the results of the project have shown a strong correlation between student engineering interest, aptitude, programming understanding, and an increased understanding of mathematics.IntroductionMathematics has long been regarded as an essential skill, as noted by the American Society forEngineering Education’s mathematics division (Selingo, 2008).

For solving this problem it is necessary to project the integrativeeducational system (cluster) for training creatively thinking students.For this objective an innovative educational model, new methodology and technology, newthinking, and higher level of consciousness become necessary. Models of contemporaryengineering education and activity must be based on general models which take intoconsideration the unity of the world in its complex connections, and ecological, ethical,aesthetical principles.

We propose a posterpresentation to discuss our SE Minor plan and collect data about people’s perceptions ofsustainability in engineering.1. IntroductionAddressing "Sustainability" is an overarching challenge for the 21st century, requiring engineersto play a critical role. In the US, undergraduate degree programs that directly attend tosustainability are of two types: (1) interdisciplinary programs that do not grant engineering degreesand (2) environmental engineering programs that are vital but do not entirely address the holisticnotion of sustainability. However, based on our reading of "Strengthening
