With understanding comes the ability tobegin answering the questions confronting society. Specifically, the four overarching learningobjectives are:1.) To develop scientific energy literacy;2.) To closely examine the production and consumption of energy in both developed and developing countries;3.)

Architecture andcivil engineering departments should take the lead and responsibility for promoting sustainabledevelopment, and the topic should be treated as a major consideration similar to protection of thepublic health and safety in design. Ultimately, the objective should be to graduate a new breedof design professionals (engineers and architects) who are knowledgeable of sustainable designand can integrate its concepts in real-world design projects.Diversity in Architectural Design and its Relation to SustainabilityIn recent years, the discipline of architecture has been impacted and reshaped most dramaticallyby two critical understandings: 1) the awareness of

This studyused a challenge involving a closed loop control system to introduce numerical analysis(maximum, minimum, roots of an equation) and review function discovery (e.g. linearregression, exponential relationships). The problem provides an excellent foundation to developa mathematical model of a system’s performance. The objective for the module is to usefunctional analysis tools in MATLAB on a mathematical model to predict when a maximum
