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

Independent study projects represent a significantstrain on that balance. The Department of Civil & Mechanical Engineering is currently in themidst of a considerable curriculum adjustment. One of the many benefits of this change is themove towards an increase in the number of Firstie (Senior) Year engineering electives.

Instructors often use illustrations,small demonstrations, or videos to illustrate different failure modes and emphasize fundamentalbehavior. However, students rarely have the opportunity to experience full-scale behaviorfirsthand. Testing large scale members requires specialized equipment, and many engineeringprograms do not have access to the necessary facilities or resources to incorporate full-scaletesting into the undergraduate classroom.
