Sustainability efforts are needed at all levels to create systemic change. Career and Technical Education (CTE) provides an opportunity to bring some sustainability focus into more technical areas, as opposed to the design fields. In addition to the need to address systemic change, there is also response needed to meet external demands from prospective students and industry. The goal of this thesis project is to investigate how sustainability can be integrated into CTE. To develop a strategy to add more sustainability focus to areas of CTE, various levels in and around the education system were investigated. From a broad level, system-wide change cannot happen all at once, so different strategies can be employed in short-, medium-, and long-term changes. The product of this thesis focused on the short-term strategy to integrate sustainability topics into existing courses, providing a fast way to start the process, while slower processes, such as changes programmatic or organizational levels, have time to develop. To build a real-world prototype, the welding department at Dunwoody College of Technology was chosen because of its ties to industry, innovation, and forward-thinking leadership. This was combined with The Natural Step (TNS), which provided not only a set of principles to follow, but also a methodology to develop strategies. The four system conditions from TNS provided a structure to map out how some sustainability topics were already being addressed, along with some gaps and opportunities to add or change courses, without any major changes to the program. The final product represents an integration of the existing course sequence, and the course competencies of those classes, mapped out to show how all the principles of TNS can be met in existing curriculum.
