importantnow than when engineering curricula were first created and refined in the early 20th century.Making room for these essential topics is an important part of how engineering as a course ofstudy and as a profession navigates our current global pollution epidemic. This paper is on theassessment of a new interdisciplinary course on sustainability and alternative energy offered toArt, Architecture, and Engineering students at The Cooper Union, a small, primarilyundergraduate institution. The course provides students with an introduction to sustainability andsustainable development, the basics of energy conversion and storage technologies, and life cycleassessment. As the problems of sustainable development are interdisciplinary, our goal was

into the program’s quality but does little to address studentpreparedness for program study. A lack of preparedness often results in weaker performance andreduces persistence in the program.The Introduction to Engineering course questionnaire provided some insight on skills lacking forprogram success. In response to the student performance, the course has increased application ofSI units in problem solving, interpreting nonlinear relationships from a graph, and estimation ofexpected results. Possible over reliance on technology may have the result of reduced intuition ofphysical relationships and estimation of quantities, both of which are vital for gross errordetection. As such, course material includes use of quantity magnitudes to

However, coopexperiences vary significantly from student to student, resulting in varied levels of exposure tokey technologies and industries. In addition, many of the courses currently taught in the variouscurricula do not have a strong connection to industry, making it difficult for students to directlysee the correlation between the material they are learning in class, and how it is applied.The objective of the Ideas Clinic Industry Hubs is to develop a model of engineering educationthat has an in-built mechanism to provide hands-on training, using real-world examplesdeveloped in conjunction with industry, in leading edge and emerging fields

in meaningful learning [1].With the adoption of recent science standards (i.e., NGSS); teachers are faced with the task ofintegrating engineering design into their science instructions and making connections betweenScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines in their instructions.This is partly daunting for elementary teachers, given their minimal preparation in engineering[3]. While STEM education is recognized by educators and research communities asimportant, there is no common understanding or agreement on the nature of STEM education asan integrated endeavor. Consequently, K-12 teachers have limited guidelines and teachingmodels to follow regarding how to teach integrated STEM [4].Without clear
