The solutions to the world's current and future problems require that engineers and scientists design and construct ecologically and socially just systems within the carrying capacity of nature without compromising future generations. In addition, as governments move towards policies that promote an international marketplace, educators need to prepare students to succeed in the global economy. Young people entering the workforce in the upcoming decades will also have the opportunity to play a critical role in the eradication of poverty and hunger and facilitation of sustainable development, appropriate technology, beneficial infrastructure, and promotion of change that is environmentally and socially just.Many universities espouse the idea that discipline integration is a prerequisite for successful implementation of sustainability in education. However, few engineering curriculum have taken the step to integrate concepts of sustainable development with an international experience. This paper discusses the educational and global drivers for curricular change in this important area and demonstrates how several undergraduate and graduate programmes initiated at Michigan Technological University can provide a more interdisciplinary basis for educating engineers on global concepts of sustainability. To date, these programmes have taken place in 21 countries and reached approximately 300 students (49% women) that represent 11 engineering disciplines and nine non-engineering disciplines.

Solutions to global environmental and development problems require engineers to design and construct ecologically and socially just systems, within the carrying capacity of nature and society, without compromising the welfare of future generations. Engineers must also have international perspectives if the discipline is to take a leadership role in improving the lives of the global community. This manuscript provides details of, and the motivation behind, an engineering program that allows environmental (and civil) engineering graduate students to obtain Master of Science degrees while serving as engineers in the U.S. Peace Corps. Drivers of this educational initiative are the U.N. Millennium Development Goals, the direct link of sustainable development to public health and protection of ecosystems and natural resources, and the need for engineering educators to better integrate societal and economic issues with environmental science. Examples are provided on how these issues are incorporated into a student's education and research requirements. Interviews of incoming Master's International students who do not have a first degree in civil or environmental engineering clearly indicate they are seeking a connection between their professional training and problems of our society. A perceived disconnection between engineering and societal problems is suggested as one reason why women do not go into engineering. To date, the Master's International program has had an enrollment of 39 graduate students. Approximately 40% of the students have been female and 8% have been underrepresented minorities. The program has allowed students to frame their graduate education and research within the context of the environmental, societal, and economic limitations of the developing world.

Summary A 20‐year‐old man with a mild‐to‐moderate learning disability was presented to services with a history of engaging in auto‐erotic practices. A multidisciplinary assessment was conducted which demonstrated that the client understood the difference between appropriate and inappropriate sexual behaviour, but his ability to transfer this knowledge to real‐life situations was limited. An intervention was instigated that focused on developing a greater range of social opportunities for the client whilst simultaneously monitoring his potential to re‐engage in the dangerous sexual practices. This intervention has led to an overall decrease in the frequency and severity of the behaviour that has been maintained over time.

. Maya A. Trotz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of South Florida. Her area of interests include the development of treatment technologies for inorganic contaminant remediation with a special emphasis on arsenic in drinking water and in landfill leachate; investigating the effect of climate change on mercury fate in aquatic environments; and understanding the effect of water storage containers on water quality in developing countries. She has an ongoing interest in multidisciplinary projects that encourage sustainable development and provide affordable and efficient technology to developing areas, especially with respect to improving water quality and reducing the incidence of water borne diseases and water related diseases and other health complications. She believes in holistic approaches to providing engineering solutions which incorporate women's perspectives and needs and which build local capacity. In Guyana, she works on projects with NGOs like WWF-Guianas, Conservation International Guyana and the Guyana's Citizen's Initiative. She is the faculty advisor for USF' Stuart's scholarly interests are primarily related to air pollution and its impacts on human health and the environment. Through her research, she seeks to understand the multi-scale interactions of air pollutants with the natural and built environments and to elucidate the effects of these interactions on public health and on sustainability. Her current research project topics are interactions between transportation infrastructure, air quality, and health equity; and mercury and sustainability in the Tampa Bay and in Guyana. She is a recipient of an NSF Career Award. An NSF research project situated in Bolivia allows undergraduate and doctoral graduate students to work with a non-government organization and rural community water committees to research issues of water supply, water scarcity, sanitation, and watershed management. An interdisciplinary graduate course allows students to investigate concepts of sustainability and research methods using a case study focus that focuses on mercury in Guyana and research approaches across disciplines, implement population surveying methods, and apply simple systems modeling. These cases provide opportunities for meeting globalization and sustainability outcomes as elaborated in the proposed Environmental Engineering BOK.
