Work in Progress: Sustainability in First-Year Engineering Design: A Collaborative Approach

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Overview: A team of faculty members at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU) received a grant from the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Engineering for One Planet (EOP) program to enhance the integration of sustainability topics into the first-year engineering design course.This course serves students from across the college.The team developed materials which they made available to the larger group (11 instructors across 12 sections in Fall 2023).This paper briefly presents the materials that were developed, mapping the concepts to the EOP framework.Simple survey data from students provide insights into student interests and the impact of this material in the course.
