Designfor Environment has the common known acronym DfE and can be viewed in differentways. DfE is a philosophy that advocates that consideration be given to the environmentwhen developing new products and processes. DfE is an engineering design initiative thatpromotes environmentally sound decisions at every step of the production process fromchemical design, process engineering, procurement practices, and end productspecification to post-use disposal. The concept is developing in the environmental/engineering fields and is

For this case study, the following were the research goals: Explore the effect of a learning-centered educational paradigm on MET students’ engineering design, problem-solving, communication (written and verbal), and group skill development. Access student perceptions of the course, instructor, and active learning elements via end- of-semester course evaluations (i.e., indirect assessment).

Also, many students continuetheir learning outside of the classroom by participating in paid opportunities supported throughfaculty research programs. Not only are they augmenting their skills, the opportunity to get paidoften allows a student who has to work to support their college education to do so in anenvironment that adds to rather that distracts from their education. Finally, the opportunity towork on a next-generation product for a real customer with the idea that the work may find itsway into the commercial sector is extremely motivational to most students and helps drive
problems continue to persist.What is known about effective engineering education stems from the fact that experiential,hands-on and interdisciplinary learning engages students and increases retention.2,3,4,5,6 Keyfindings in the current literature on teaching show that real-world problems – when presented inan active and experiential learning environment – increase student interest, possess pedagogicaleffectiveness, and help to facilitate initial learning and transfer of that learning to other contexts.7As a result of this research, engineering learning spaces, innovation zones, design studios, andstudent success centers are being built to support undergraduate engineering education,sometimes specifically for first-year engineering students.

In the same sense, the curriculum arrangement of engineering majors inundergraduate level practical teaching mainly consists of cognition practice, productivepractice, graduation practice, curriculum design and graduation project, among others.1 Beingthe significant component of practical teaching process carried out by engineeringuniversities, productive practice is recognized as the effective measure for consolidating anddeepening the professional basic theory, boosting engineering students’ abilities to linktheory with practice and to deal with practical problems, as well as optimizing the students’engineering practical abilities.Productive practice is a course which closely integrates classroom
