the fourth portion of this course, students are formed into groups and are asked todevelop their own green designed system or a designed city. Students are taken through theprocess of ideation all the way to prototype or mock up design. They must defend their choicesof green technologies or green alternatives and demonstrate that either their designed system is abetter option or that their designed city is sustainable.Within the Ethics and Ethical Consumerism portion of the course, students realize that all ethicaland green options may not be obvious or simple solutions. Students are placed in the shoes of aCompany, a Sustainability Engineer, and a consumer through role playing, so that they grasp thedriving motivations of each. Students

These include health care delivery, public healthpolicies, sickness prevention, health education, energy, city management, environmentalstewardship, quality control, inventory management, supply chains, workplace design, factorydesign, service delivery systems, and emergency room care. Also, since engineering design touchesalmost every aspect of daily life, ideas can be found in current news articles and in repositories suchas The Probability Web (www.prob.berkeley.edu).Discussing the Nature of ProblemsAs the first step in going beyond problems like those described in the previous section, the nature ofproblems is discussed.
