Sustainability is an overarching challenge for the 21st century at local, national, and international levels. A new generation of engineers trained in sustainability is crucial to ensure the quality of life for current and future generations. To meet this challenge, the [*University*] ([*Univ*]), with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE): Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Program, aims to create a new Minor in Sustainability Engineering, as a precursor to a bachelor's degree in the same area. This paper describes a recently awarded project comprising the design and implementation of a Sustainability Engineering (SE) Minor at [*Univ*]. We propose a poster presentation to discuss our SE Minor plan and collect data about people’s perceptions of sustainability in engineering.
