forboth departments.7.5 Capstone Project or ThesisFor each program there is a required summary capstone experience. For the Applications ofSustainable Engineering capstone project (for M.Eng. students, 4 credit hours), students areexpected to develop a design or an implementation with applications in sustainability.Comprehensive assessments of such developments are anticipated. In the thesis (for M.S.students, 9 credit hours), students are expected to engage in a novel research problem. Aformal written thesis and oral defense before a faculty committee are required.8. SummaryAt the KGCOE, student interest has motivated a number of developments with respect to thediscipline of sustainable engineering. These developments include • expanded

This serves as an example of how research on appropriate technology appeals to adiverse range of students and can provide real benefits to developing communities.BackgroundThe purposes of academic engineering research activities can be broadly grouped into two maingoals that are complementary yet distinct: (1) education of students; and (2) production of newknowledge of practical importance.

Conventional methods of drinking water,waste water, and air pollution treatment are now the focus of attention in the revised EnvEcourse. The primary goals of the EIA course are to engage all CE students regardless of theirspecialization, and create an interdisciplinary forum to discuss and evaluate some of the social,economic, and environmental issues associated with CE projects. The secondary goals of thecourse are to prepare students for two higher level required courses, and promote the utility andimportance of

There are technological and societalbarriers towards overcoming the conventional linear cycle of consumption. A societal challengeis the flow of electronic waste between countries, for example from the United States to China.However, the focus of the RET Site was to provide research projects based on the naturalsciences for the teachers, so the issue of electronic waste export was not explicitly addressed.Instead, teachers focused on characterizing and solve technical challenges.
