Examples listed below: Course Outcomes- Electrical and Computer Engineering 487: All students must demonstrate: (c) An ability to (design a digital hardware and/or software system)/(design an electrical system, component, or process) to meet desired needs, considering all realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health, safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. Intercultural Communication 400W/500: Goal of understanding the perspectives of other cultures and resolving possible conflicts, students will examine the role of perception, language, belief systems, social structures and culture practices. Applications will be made to specific cultures. Program Outcomes- Computer Engineering Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes: Our computer engineering graduates must attain: an ability to design a digital hardware and/or software system to meet desired needs, considering all realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. B.S. in Modeling and Simulation Engineering students who qualify for graduation have: 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; Bachelor of Science in Ocean Science: Students in the ocean and earth science program focus on the global systems that control environmental conditions. They also learn to develop solutions to complex environmental problems by working in multidisciplinary teams. Master of Science in Ocean and Earth Sciences and Doctor of Philosophy in Oceanography: Students will understand both natural and human-induced processes that change earth's system so we are prepared to meet present and future challenges.

The number of graduates covered by the sustainability learning outcomes is as an accurate reflection and as comprehensive as possible based on graduate estimates for each college. Sustainability Learning Outcomes and associated degree programs will continue to be identified after the STARS report submission.
