With that image in mind, the Centerfor Sustainable Engineering defines “sustainable engineering” as “engineering for humandevelopment that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of futuregenerations to meet their own needs.” (17)With these thoughts in mind, and a defined focus on sustainability and engineering design in ournew curriculum, we defined the “sustainable design process” in our curriculum to be theintegration of four distinct elements into teaching the engineering design process. Theseelements are the: technical requirements, economic requirements, environmental requirements,and social

There is no scientific method to proclaimthis is the answer for training young architectural engineering minds about structures andbuilding technology, but in all of the courses the students become engaged when they work withtheir hands and minds in a creative environment. And personally, this is the first hurdle tolearning. If these classes were taught in a pure lecture setting, topics such as tolerances andconcrete finishes could be

. Page 13.958.85. DiscussionIn light of the above assessment results and student feedback, our initial LF adaptation wasmodified. The modification was made to address two themes that clearly arose from theevaluations and feedback from focus groups, namely: to allow students more time to carry outthe required machining tasks, and to expose students to additional manufacturing processes. Withthis in mind, the product made by the students was changed from a model engine to the modelmachine vise shown in Figure 2. The vise entails simpler machining work while still exposingstudents to the same types of hands-on operations. The simplified project can therefore becompleted in less time and the balance of the time used to give students more hands
