Environmental engineering education is expanding beyond civil engineering to include broader topics. Rowan University successfully integrated environmental concepts into all engineering disciplines through a common "engineering clinic" course.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Engineering Education
  • Sustainable Engineering Practices
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Environmental engineering education traditionally focused on water and wastewater within civil engineering.
  • The field has broadened significantly, encompassing pollution, risk assessment, toxicology, and sustainable development.
  • Accreditation criteria (e.g., ABET 2000) emphasize the need for environmental integration in all engineering programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement innovative curricula for a new engineering program at Rowan University.
  • To integrate environmental education across all engineering disciplines.
  • To assess the success of integrating environmental concepts into coursework and practical design projects.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a common, eight-semester "engineering clinic" course for all engineering students.
  • Integration of environmental design principles and pollution prevention concepts into the clinic curriculum.
  • Incorporation of environmental education into all four engineering disciplines' coursework and clinics.

    • Main Results:

    • Rowan University's new engineering program has successfully integrated environmental education for seven years.
    • Environmental concepts are embedded in both the coursework and the practical "engineering clinic" experiences.
    • All four engineering disciplines have incorporated environmental education into their programs.

    Conclusions:

    • Innovative curriculum design can effectively integrate environmental engineering principles across diverse engineering disciplines.
    • A common, longitudinal course like the "engineering clinic" facilitates holistic environmental education for all engineers.
    • The Rowan University model demonstrates a successful shift in environmental engineering education towards broader integration.
