When asked if the assignment would resonatewith them after graduating, they all said ‘yes’, and thus they would take theenvironmental effects as a factor when making engineering decision.1. Introduction The vast and rapid technological change, growing population, the looming energyshortages, and the increasing environmental issues has called for changes in engineeringcurricula to prepare engineering students for the future.Under Criterion 3 titled Program Outcomes and Assessment, item (c), the AccreditationBoard of Engineering and Technology (ABET) states that all engineering programs mustdemonstrate

This approach has madethe task of delivering vital undergraduate and graduate engineering courses to distributedaudiences much easier.As this approach has permeated more curricula, distance education instructors have increasinglyassigned projects that require distance learners to work together as an element of the final coursegrade.
