Multidisciplinary Term Project in Low Level CoursesAbstractCurrent engineering students need to be equipped with a wider knowledge base in terms ofenvironmental, economic, and social attributes of engineered systems, work, and materials.Sustainability is a perspective that can be introduced in early classes and not only as a technicaltopic in upper level classes. Lower level sustainability courses can be related to the knowledgegained in the required math, science, humanities, and social sciences through “mind mapping.”This paper presents a comprehensive term project entitled “Greening the Engineering Building”that was utilized to simulate sophomore civil engineering students’ interest in green buildingsthrough the development of a sustainable alternative

Specifically, instructor resources dedicated to implementing graded homework as part ofan undergraduate engineering course design might be redirected without a negative impact onstudent performance.

with the sheer amount of information, assumptions and details that “real-world” engineers do day in and day out. It is hard to appreciate the thought that goes into such a large-scale project until one is handed to you. What is even more mind-boggling is that our analysis was purely from an engineering standpoint; economic, geographic and many other considerations were not taken into account.These types of broad lessons about using concepts from dynamics in engineering practice are noteasily grasped via normal textbook problem solving, but become apparent via this project-basedapproach.

.32When selecting a case, the instructor should keep these characteristics in mind :1. The case should be appropriate for the students; it should match the students’ skill level or knowledge of the course topic. For example, mechanical engineering seniors may be more experienced with certain discipline-specific subject matter than first-year students and could handle a case requiring more advanced knowledge. Furthermore, each student should be able to relate to the issue so that no one person or small group is disenfranchised.36, 372. A case should be complex enough to engage students in problem solving. Even if the case is simple, it should be complex enough to generate group discussion and alternative solutions to the problem posed
