A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
To represent the most accurate sustainability efforts of Stevens Institute of Technology, course data covers the most recent, complete academic year (2021-2022).
A staff member from the Office of the Provost copied the course inventory list from the previous STARS submission. The staff member as well as student interns under the Transportation and Sustainability Development Manager verified which courses were offered within the academic year 2021-2022. Courses not previously listed were added. Course descriptions were pulled from the student information system or the 2021-2022 Academic Catalog.
Once the course inventory was complete, the list was sent to Dr. Dibyendu (Dibs) Sarkar, director of the sustainability management program and professor in the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science (SES), to confirm and finalize the inventory.
A staff member from the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness provided the total number of undergraduate and total number of graduate courses offered by the institution.

How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
Other (please describe below)
A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted:
Each course was counted as a single course regardless of the number of sections. Courses that are cross-listed (listed for multiple sections) were counted together as a single course.
Courses that applied to an undergraduate program and a graduate program were counted for each program level. For example, if the course was listed for the Green Engineering Minor curriculum and the Sustainable Energy Systems (Mechanical Engineering) Graduate Certificate curriculum, the course was counted for both undergraduate courses offered that include sustainability and graduate courses offered that include sustainability.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Stevens Institute of Technology consists of three schools and one college: the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science (SES), the School of Business (Business), the School of Systems and Enterprises (SSE) and the College of Arts and Letters (CAL). The School of Business, SSE and CAL do not have specific academic department structures and were therefore counted as one academic department for the purposes of this report. The SES does have a specific academic department structure of nine departments, and therefore each department was individually counted.
All courses with first number 1 though 4 are undergrad only. Those starting with 5 can be taken by advanced undergrad and by grad students, and those with 6 or above are grad only courses.
