life cycle engineering has been developed based on this approach through a multi-university research project, entitled “Constructionism in Learning: Sustainable Life CycleEngineering (CooL:SLiCE).” The pedagogic significance of CooL:SLiCE is that it enables betterlearning within the sustainable engineering domain by utilizing effective learning modules forpersonalized environmentally responsible product design. The CooL:SLiCE platform provides aweb-based portal with three learning modules: 1) Visualization and online computer-aideddesign (CAD), 2) Sustainable product architecture and supplier selection (S-PASS), and 3)Manufacturing analysis.

Thus, during the fall term of your finalyear of undergraduate studies, you should complete the following tasks:  Narrow your list of places to apply; generally 3-8 completed applications is a good goal. Ideally, you will apply to a range of schools (size, location, ranking, etc.) where you can make a strong case that you are a good investment and “fit” for their program.  Identify your backup plan – “safety” school, work, volunteering
