Theywill work on one product, separating the engineering challenge into modules of various tasks indesign, manufacturing, facilities planning and business functions, each task managed by a sub-team. A case study will be presented. As a result, students not only synthesize what they havelearned but also apply what they have gained: teamwork experience, collaborative finesse,ability to comprehend the global picture of engineering, the urgency to be innovative, and thedrive to become effective leaders. The university gains a better reputation and strengthenedbonds among departments.IntroductionToday’s work environment demands that

In signing this“sustainability covenant,” Rowan University has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gasemissions to 3.5% below 1990 levels by 2005. We have used this agreement as the basisfor a novel collaboration between the New Jersey Higher Education Partnership forSustainability (NJHEPS) and the College of Engineering at Rowan University.We have developed a course project in which sophomore students from all engineeringdisciplines calculate CO2 emissions for the university and propose methods for furtherreducing our greenhouse gas emissions.

As of late, there has been a push to get more engineering content into high schoolcurriculums. Today several state education standards address engineering to some degree, butthere is considerable variation among those state standards, and the national effort to introducesuch standards is still in its infancy. Indeed, the National Academy of Engineering is currentlyconducting a study (due out in March 2010) on K-12
