Although serving humanity is at the heart of the engineeringprofession5, the engineering education system and infrastructure (texts, learning aids, facultydevelopment) have largely lost this core connection. Sustainability education with its holisticnature of technology that is combined with human dimension will re-establish the sense of thisconnection. There is some indication that sustainability also contributes to the increase inrecruiting and retaining traditionally underrepresented groups in engineering6.Sustainability integration may be difficult for many college and university graduates of scienceand engineering

Poly is given every quarter to students finishing their senior project.The exam for each major is typically offered as three different versions each drawing over 50questions from the ever-expanding bank of test questions that cover virtually all of the programoutcome areas and skills. Students are not advised to prepare for the exam, but they are notifiedthat a portion (usually 10%) of their senior project grade will be affected by their performance onthe exam. Thereby, skipping the exam or purposefully answering incorrectly (e.g., to get finishedsooner) is discouraged. Since the content tested typically spans their educational career, a score of50% or better is considered minimally acceptable from a program assessment point of view. Such

Typically one extends the problem boundary to include actors and forces associated with both natural systems and those associated with social or cultural institutions or norms. 2.
