Over the last couple years, the University of Worcester has used a variety of different tools to critique their sustainability practices in order to help them improve. The purpose of this project was to create a custom tool that can be used by the University of Worcester, or any other institution, to assess the sustainability content in the undergraduate curriculum as well as the on campus research being conducted. This custom tool was created by researching and analyzing a multitude of existing tools. From here, specific aspects were taken from a few different tools, then were compiled and modified to create a comprehensive graded questionnaire. The implementation of this questionnaire would outline key areas in the undergraduate curriculum and on campus research that could be improved.
