Students are taken through theprocess of ideation all the way to prototype or mock up design. They must defend their choicesof green technologies or green alternatives and demonstrate that either their designed system is abetter option or that their designed city is sustainable.Within the Ethics and Ethical Consumerism portion of the course, students realize that all ethicaland green options may not be obvious or simple solutions. Students are placed in the shoes of aCompany, a Sustainability Engineer, and a consumer through role playing, so that they grasp thedriving motivations of each. Students
