amongst students. An important question that we believe should be addressed is: Are all newly Page 22.1587.5coined terms buzzwords? The word “sustainable” is being used frequently in the contextof manufacturing nowadays. The popularity of this word has a lot to do with the fact thatall over the world there is now a realization that activities of one generation can adverselyaffect the earth and what is left of this earth for future generations. Hence, whether“sustainable” is a buzzword is debatable; it appears to convey a new idea that was notconsidered important only a few years back. Similarly, words that become integral partof our lingo for years

engineering is an emerging area that is inherentlymultidisciplinary [2-4].There is a need to better understand how complex systems can achieve both short-termcontinuity and long-term ecological integrity. As we move to a more carbon-constrained world,businesses will ultimately have to meet customer needs in a way that generates fewer carbonemissions. Therefore, it is essential to bridge current engineering education to sustainableproduct design, manufacturing, and processes, which requires new curriculum development,research, and manufacturing experiences, as presented in this paper.This paper presents the approach used at our institution to integrate sustainability engineeringcontent into the engineering curriculum at our university and to

If structuredproperly, authentic projects as a context for learning engineering potentially meets many of thehuman goals within the Ford and Nichols Taxonomy of Human Goals: Integrative socialrelationship goals, self-assertive social relationship goals, affective goals, cognitive goals, taskgoals, and subjective organizational goals 8. The result can be synergistic improvements inmotivation for learning 9.Engagement is often cited as an important component of learning in PBL. In the Civil andChemical Engineering school at RMIT, researchers10 examined the factors that effectengagement in a PBL environment. They examined first year

The results also havemajor implications for lifelong learning for engineers and are compatible with the teachings ofothers such as Taylor, Deming, Senge, and a study by Ernst & Young.The objectives of this paper are to:1. Share executive survey results and findings2. Demonstrate that the spectrum of leadership can be modeled by Hayes’ ―Six Stages of Quality System Implementation‖ and parallel versions of it3. Demonstrate how the Six Stages of Quality System Implementation were used to redesign courses in the industrial and manufacturing engineering curriculum to strategically integrate lean, six sigma, statistical quality control, and quality tools.4. Show that there is
