ASCE has committed the profession to sustainability for at least a decade. The implied educational imperative is for a broader and deeper preparation of new engineers, and at the same time, of the practicing profession. The ASCE committee working on the second edition of the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge has embraced sustainability as an independent technical outcome; and has set out spec...

In this paper, we explore the potential for integrating university campuses in a global sustainability agenda for a closer reconnection of urban residents to the biosphere. This calls for a socio-cultural transition that allows universities and colleges to reconnect to the biosphere and become active stewards of the Earth System. Recognizing their pivotal role of fostering coming generations of...
