pedagogic goal of this design project was to provide students with an opportunity to incorporate the principles of sustainability into the engineering design process through: a) Investigating economic, environmental and social issues faced by New Orleans residents. b) Proposing engineering solutions that account for these issues. c) Designing an evacuation and flood management plan. d) Determining the risks of failure for their flood-control design using the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) (Anderson, 2001). e) Calculating a resource budget for the construction and use of their flood-control options. f) Developing a program simulation of their flood-control system.

Sustainability. For six weeks in the summer, accompanied by severalprofessional learning workshops throughout the school year, rural middle and high schoolmathematics and science teachers engage in a research program within the College ofEngineering. The main goal of the program is for teachers to develop an in-depth understandingof how research principles, engineering applications, and the engineering design process (EDP)can enhance the delivery of instruction in their content area through standards-based instruction.The intent is to create a pedagogical shift in how the teacher approaches lesson plan designcreating more meaningful, engaging, and authentic learning experiences for their students.

BackgroundIn September of 2001, Baylor University’s Board of Regents adopted a ten-year plan known asVision 2012. This plan encompasses a series of 12 imperatives which will lead Baylor University“…to new facilities and to new academic and scholarly environments, approaches andopportunities1.” Vision 2012 is an ambitious program; however, the results, if achieved, wouldelevate Baylor to top tier ranks while maintaining its heritage and Christian mission.

After becoming familiar with the scenario,and brainstorming ideas, students complete the project at home. They must create a diversion plan, makethe digs and mounds, raise the river to the appropriate flooding level, and see how well their diversion planworked.

Corporate representatives provide realistic scenarios through activeparticipation in such courses. These "clients" require the students to use realistic projectmanagement tools and reinforce planning and economic aspects of a design without neglectingthe technical aspects of the project.

Termed “Solution Step Discipline”(SSD), faculty for all engineering technology courses at Purdue University School ofTechnology’s Richmond location incorporated it in the Fall 2002 semester.
