related to sustainability included: (a) an individual assignment on material(s)choices for particular applications; (b) one group project on renewable energy (clean energy)issues; (c) a case study on the use of fly ash in concrete; a case study on the use of corroded drillpipe in walkways and other low load-bearing applications, and (d) one final project that was areport/presentation from each student on a corrosion issue (if possible, one with a sustainabilityfocus).Topics like wind energy, solar energy, biofuels, and carbon capture and sequestration are usuallyassociated with sustainable engineering. Often these names are considered to be synonymouswith sustainability; carefully thought out solutions to our current problems. However, each
