c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Materials Engineering as a Catalyst for Sustainability EducationAbstractEnergy use, environmental impact and other sustainability-related issues are becomingincreasingly important considerations in engineering designs and manufacturing processes. Inresponse to this need, materials engineering courses related to sustainable energy technology,life-cycle analysis and mineral resources have been developed. The courses have been designedto be accessible to non-materials engineering students, and even non-engineering students, topromote interdisciplinary discussions. This paper will include discussion of the content of andexperience with these courses, as well as the relationship of the

Technology, and one in EET-Electronics Engineering Technology)performed the design activity. The ET professors facilitated the activity during a normal classperiod. After the activity, the professors independently evaluated the team documents using adesign metric (e.g. RADD – Requirements, Analysis, Documentation, Drawings).A correlation was found between previous internship experience and an increased ability todesign and document this skill. This correlation appeared in both MET and EET disciplines.There were consistent results between the faculty members, using the RADD metric. Aconclusion from this work is that participation in internships as an undergraduate positivelycontributes to student’s design abilities.IntroductionEngineering design

other disciplines has evolved substantially1. It isinteresting to note that its breadth has increased dramatically not least because the number ofcommercially available materials has increased manifold in the last three decades. Teachingabout materials has therefore to cope with increasing content, and does so in a context where thecompetition for space in the engineering curricula by other disciplines is fierce.Interdisciplinarity is being pursued at both undergraduate2 and graduate3 levels. The search forinterdisciplinary knowledge has long been identified as mandatory for today’s technological andinnovation leaders. This is one of the goals of INCOSE, the CDIO Initiative and the multiplegraduate level programs worldwide. Akay calls in his

It is a3-credit course held each fall semester followed by a 1-credit laboratory during the following spring Page 23.56.2semester. When the author taught this course using a traditional lecture approach, it was noticed thatstudents were very focused on memorizing materials science information. The students were moreinterested in knowing how to solve a problem rather than understanding the problem and the concepts. Inaddition, there was a lack of excitement and student-centered
