Chemical Engineering- department and course level (CHE 222) Civil Engineering- department and course level (CE 351) Electrical and Computer Engineering Engineering Studies Environmental Studies Environmental Science Mechanical Engineering- department and course level (ME 478) Spanish- course level (SPAN 211)

Chemical Engineering- Students will demonstrate professional responsibility, addressing economic, sustainability, and environmental considerations in the solution of engineering problems in both local and global settings. CHE 222: Students will learn how to calculate how much heat is sent to the environment for every degree we cool our house with an air conditioner Civil Engineering- Students will demonstrate professional responsibility, addressing social, cultural, economic, sustainability, and environmental considerations in the solution of engineering problems in both local and global settings. CE 351: Students will understand the concept of sustainability within a water resources engineering context Electrical and Computer Engineering- Students will develop an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. Engineering Studies- Students will demonstrate professional responsibility, in terms of social, cultural, economic, and environmental sustainability in the solution of engineering problems in both local and global settings; Environmental Studies- Students will integrate and apply perspectives from across the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities in the context of complex environmental problems. Environmental Science- Students will identify the complex relationships between scientific approaches to environmental issues and political, social, economic, and ethical perspectives on the environment. Mechanical Engineering-Students will have the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context ME 478: Students will learn how feedback control is used in automobile engines to reduce pollution and fuel consumption. Low power microprocessors are widely used to monitor electric power consumption. Hybrid vehicles depend upon controllers to function. Spanish 211- Students will focus on environmental/socio-economic sustainability of mining in Crucitas, Costa Rica and determine whether tourism is good or bad for specific Latin American countries (Cuba, Perú, Costa Rica, México).
