At least one instructor “flipped theclassroom” for this introductory portion, assigning students to watch several sustainability-related TED Talks8 outside of class and discussed and debated the topics in class. Followingthis, they were assigned a project consisting of the following five basic steps: 1. Identify a product with opportunities for improvement in sustainability. 2. Research product’s current design and manufacture. 3. Analyze sustainability of current design and manufacture. 4. Identify alternative design and manufacturing approaches which may increase product’s sustainability. 5. Communicate proposed solution(s) through written and oral summary reports.Some students at

The thing that impressed me most today was how poor my grammer [sic] and editing skills are.

The information that made the biggest impression on me was how P.E.’s make use of I, you, we in their writings. I realized I make the same mistakes that other people do.

The first step to this research wasaccomplished. We think we achieved some improvement in teaching decision analysis. Thefocus of the next step of our research is to evaluate the students’ calculations in order to evaluatehow the students performed in conjunction with how they though the performed.References 1.

Here, the students will: o Conduct the research according to plans developed in week 1. o Meet once a week with the full group to review progress with peers and meet twice per week within subgroups to provide peer critique at subgroup and full group meetings and respond to feedback from full group during the following week. o Document changes in research plans as needed. o
subjects, which is arguably agood response; but when asked to specify her answer, she relays the traditional subjectsassociated with engineers. We believe K-12 engineering education has the chance to properlyeducate pre-college students on what engineers do, as well as, expand students’ understanding ofthe skills that qualify a good engineer. Five of the six participants knew practicing engineers (e.g. parent, grandparent, uncle,cousin). However, they could say very little about what the engineer(s) did at work. For example,when we asked one participant if he knew what his Chemical engineer parents did at work heonly offered a general response: I: Oh I’m sorry Um do you know what your parents do at work as engineers?
