4 UN World Commission: What is Sustainability? The ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Cal Poly Academic Senate: The ability of natural and social systems to survive and thrive together to meet current and future needs. Triple Bottom Line Concept
5 Talloires Declaration (Cal Poly signatory in 2004) A 10 point action plan to incorporate sustainability and environmental literacy in teaching, research, operations, and outreach at colleges and Universities: Increase awareness of environmentally sustainable development Create an institutional culture of sustainability Educate for environmentally responsible citizenship Foster environmental literacy for all Practice institutional ecology Involve all stakeholders Collaborate for interdisciplinary approaches Enhance capacity of primary and secondary schools Broaden service and outreach nationally and internationally Maintain the movement
6 Cal Poly Sustainability Learning Objectives (SLO s) Cal Poly Academic Senate Resolution (2009): In order to consider sustainability when making reasoned decisions, all graduating students should be able to: Define and apply sustainability principles within their academic programs Explain how natural, economic, and social systems interact to foster or prevent sustainability Analyze and explain local, national, and global sustainability using a multidisciplinary approach Consider sustainability principles while developing personal and professional values
7 CSU Sustainability Policy Major revision to policy since last CSU Executive Order 987 (2006) Academics: The CSU will seek to further integrate sustainability into the academic curriculum working within the normal campus consultative process. Operations: The CSU will pursue sustainable practices in all areas of the university, including business operations such as procurement, IT, student services, food service, facilities operations, design and construction and self funded auxiliaries. Policy approved by CSU Board of Trustees May 2014
8 Cal Poly Vision 2022, President Armstrong: $500M Fundraising Campaign Focus on Public-Private Partnerships Enhance sustainability efforts and attitudes, eliminate redundancies, create greater efficiencies and entrepreneurial activities.
9 Academic Senate Sustainability Committee: Formalize SUSCAT (SUStainability course CATalog) Senate resolution on sustainability course assessment Working toward a graduation requirement
10 Workshop session #1a Student Perspective: How do students look at and value sustainability? Personal life and values In education In career Where do students learn about sustainability at Cal Poly? In classes? Major or GE Projects Club activities and work experience How can educational experience be improved? Infuse into existing courses Create new courses Extracurricular activities
11 Workshop session #1b Corporate Perspective: Is sustainability part of corporate values? Public image/relations Bottom line Business focus What do employers want to see in new hires? Skills and knowledge Project experience - is interdisciplinary important? Club activities or work experience How can educational experience be improved?
12 Workshop session #2 Current Areas of Activity and Interest: Energy Efficiency Power Generation Sustainable Transportation Water/Energy Nexus Waste Reduction/Sustainable Materials
13 Area of Interest Energy Efficiency Energy Efficiency/DSM in the Built Environment (40% of all energy use) HVAC, lighting, and plug load District heating and cooling Building automation systems and data analytics Path to Zero Net Energy buildings by 2020/2030 Energy Efficiency in Industry and Manufacturing Resource and material efficiency Life cycle design Green Computing Desktop, server, and device power requirements Performance optimization Data Centers Majors: ME, EE, CE, ENVE, IME, AERO, BMED, GEN, MATE, CPE, CSC, ARCH, CRP, CM, BRAE, AGB, NRM&ES, BUS, ECON, POLS

18 Workshop session #3 Findings on Curriculum, Research, and Projects: Common themes challenges and aspirations: We often don t teach sustainability explicitly, but discuss elements Faculty are interested, but are busy teaching fundamentals of discipline/technology Widespread interest in more interdisciplinary opportunities Many current interdisciplinary projects tell a compelling sustainability story, but are not marketed that way Structure desired for better connection, communication, and visibility Not sure how to integrate sustainability into existing curriculum Difficulty articulating social equity in engineering programs Coverage of professional ethics needs improvement
19 Workshop session #3 Visioning Exercise: Define the future of SEI for the College Should focus be broad/holistic or narrow/targeted? Curriculum recommendations How do we address course assessment and graduation requirement? Majors, minors, or certificate? Organizational structure Centers and Institutes Committee or task force Advancement opportunities New Name?
20 Student perspectives: Findings Learned primarily at home and in family environmental awareness Changing culture/lifestyle and social media Desire for meaningful job/career Integral part of Architecture, not articulated in most Engineering coursework Lots of clubs/projects to choose from, but found by accident No cross disciplinary look at sustainability or climate change for engineers Sustainability = good engineering Coursework is too highly structured Would like to see sustainability in GE, and renewable energy integrated into required engineering courses
21 Employer perspectives: Findings Sustainability IS part of corporate culture: Bottom line issue control cost, enhance revenue Corporate image, transparency, and public relations It is a company goal because it is a customer goal Seeking students with excellent work habits, perseverance, ability to learn/adapt Students are technically strong, but there is a scarcity of: Maturity and holistic/human development Global awareness Professional polish and communication skills Ability to make a business case Recommendations: Need more focus on soft skills like writing, public speaking More group projects that include developing and presenting a business or project plan/model i.e. Shark Tank
22 Findings Workshop recommendations: Five areas of focus are appropriate Start narrow, become broad Prioritize areas 1 &2 (Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy), then add Increase focus on whole systems thinking Broad sustainability discussions belong in GE (but engineers don t take Area F) Continue with course assessment, establish graduation requirement No new Sustainability Minor needed in CENG, already have: Sustainable Agriculture (CAFES) Sustainable Environments (home in CAED, but open to all) Environmental Studies (home in COSAM, but open to all) Leverage existing Centers and Institutes
23 Findings Workshop brainstorming ideas: Fund faculty to collaborate with club projects (VP committed $15K pilot funding) Use campus as a test bed for renewable energy testing Build a campus microgrid Use solar panels for EV charging Initiative Names DEMISE, SEE or SE^2
