energy that is produced in a manner that has less of anegative impact to the environment than energy sources like fossil fuel which often produceharmful side effects. Types of green energy that often come to mind are solar, wind, geothermaland hydro energy. In fact, it is a significant area for the investment, and the ability to developtechnology that harnesses energy from wind, solar, water and other renewable resources definesfuture generations of technology. The engineers and scientist who are solving these challengestoday are using many advanced technologies to develop and deliver tomorrow’s solutions for asustainable environment. These technologies definitely need to be widely spread and fullyunderstood by young generations so that they can

building that the green roof was being designed for was the Technology Center,more commonly called the Tech Center. It originally housed the Engineering Department, andwas one of the first buildings built for campus. When it was constructed, it was intended to havea second story put on top at a later date, so the roof was designed to be a floor to that secondstory, and there are two flights of stairs and even an elevator that connect to the roof. Thesecond story was never added, and the roof of the building therefore was expected to besufficient to support the green roof. This expectation was confirmed by the analysis done in thecivil electives. The roof of the Tech Center is clearly visible from several other campusbuildings, so a green roof

This recently adopted trajectory accurately reflects therealities of the twenty-first-century: any sustainable solution to the problems humanity is currentlyfacing requires an integrated and interactive mix of sciences, engineering, social sciences, andhumanities2. As a result, modern education needs to prepare future scientists and engineers to not onlyexplore the boundaries within their own disciplines, but to also understand the basics of other fields.The Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) acknowledges the importance ofmultidisciplinary education and explicitly supports it3.
