Impacts of an Environmental Course on Undergraduate Engineering Students' Attitudes
Engineers may play a significant role in developing solutions to current and future global environmental issues. Prior research examines differences in environmental attitudes among varied groups of students, including undergraduates. In some studies, engineering students have demonstrated less positive environmental attitudes than students studying natural sciences, such as biology or geology. This may be due to the difference in content in engineering programs or self-selection into the major, since those with strong environmental interests may choose an environmental major.
