CourseAbstractSustainability issues were introduced into an undergraduate corrosion course by means of specialassignments and case studies. There are actually two courses; an undergraduate course calledCorrosion Engineering, ME 349 and a graduate course called Corrosion, ME 387Q and they aretaught together. In addition to the traditional types of assignments that focus on forms ofcorrosion and methods of testing for and mitigating corrosion, the course was redesigned to bringsustainability issues to the forefront; specifically with respect to undergraduate education.Much attention was paid to topics in the news and in recent journal articles and a special sectionwas added on corrosion issues associated with clean energy technologies. . Two case studieswere also

AtCal Poly, we have developed a seven-step design method that guides students throughtheir project-based learning activities and enables them to achieve the skills that areessential to their success as global engineers.Design is a Key Element in the PBL Tool KitThe dictionary defines design as “a process to create, fashion, execute, or constructaccording to a plan.” The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)defines it as “a process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desiredneeds.” Practically, design is an iterative
