- •
Curricular reforms are needed to train sustainability-conscious engineers.
- •
A learning-cycle-based sustainability module was developed based on Kolb's learning cycle.
- •
Student concept maps showed significant learning gains after module completion.
- •
Surveys, which were likely biased by students' negative perceptions, showed few learning gains.
- •
The module should be completely integrated into the course to ensure student satisfaction.
