A brief description of the methodology used to determine the total number of courses offered and to identify sustainability course offerings, including the definitions used and the process for reviewing and/or validating the course inventory :
The Sustainability Course Inventory for ECU was developed by a former faculty member named Eban Bean who has since taken a job and moved to Florida. The inventory was created using a list of key words that was originally put together by staff at UNC Chapel Hill and presented at the 2014 AASHE Conference. Using that list, as well as the criteria for identifying a sustainability course versus a course that includes sustainability, Dr. Bean developed the total course inventory and the sustainability course inventory for ECU based on the 2014-15 academic year.
