Abstract
Teaching sustainability fosters civic responsibility and develops informed citizens who are responsible to their professions, communities, posterity and the world. A new course focuses on practical applications that utilize and implement existing research and products into the delivery of engineering services. Students are trained to informally educate other others in order to promote sustainability.
