Has the institution adopted one or more sustainability learning outcomes that apply to the entire student body or, at minimum, to the institution's predominant student body?:
Which of the following best describes the sustainability learning outcomes?:
A list of the institution level sustainability learning outcomes:
Total number of graduates from degree programs:
Number of graduates from degree programs that require an understanding of the concept of sustainability:
A brief description of how the figure above was determined:
The number of graduates reported by CMU's Institutional Research for the 2019-2020 academic year with a major in each of the identified degree areas that have a sustainability-focused learning objectives were tallied.
A list of degree programs that require an understanding of the concept of sustainability:
The Physics program requires that students should be able to:
--Articulate how one's own developing skills in science and technology can be increasingly used in constructive community service or engagement that recognizes the potential impact on local and global issues, including environmental impact and sustainability.
Upon graduation recipients of a degree in Chemistry will:
--Understand the opportunities and consequences of chemistry for the environment and society for both the short term and for long-term sustainability.
The objectives of the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering program are to develop graduates who embody the following definitions:
--Graduates distinguish themselves within their organizations as individuals who are able to provide sustainable solutions to a wide range of conventional, cutting-edge, and emerging professional challenges related to one or more of the areas of the built, natural and information environments.
--Graduates are able to contribute and collaborate on developing solutions to local and global problems; graduates are able to cross geographic, cultural, and traditional discipline boundaries in developing solutions.
--Students should have an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
--students should have an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
Students who complete the Chemical Engineering curriculum will have attained the following outcomes:
--an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
--an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
Objectives for the Electrical and Computer Engineering curriculum:
--students should have an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
--students should have an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
The Materials Science and Engineering program will produce graduates who:
--excel in professionalism and leadership in contemporary, interdisciplinary engineering practice based on materials, while accounting for the impact of their profession on an evolving, global society;
--contribute effectively as an individual, team member, and/or a leader to effect global, economic, environmental, and/or societal impact.
Students who complete the Mechanical Engineering curriculum will have attained the following outcomes:
--an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
--an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
The School of Architecture and it's degree programs:
--understand architecture’s historical, social and environmental contexts;
--work ethically to achieve social progress and justice in the built environment
