A better method is to introduce these concepts throughout the curriculum [4] which helpsto emphasize that engineers should be using green engineering and sustainability throughout thedesign process. Implementing this integrated approach, in which students see green engineeringthroughout their four years of engineering shows the importance of this subject to the students Page 11.150.3and reinforces the need to employ this subject in industry.

We believe that this shift from a traditional, passive learning approach towards an active learning will not only increase students’ engagement and achievement of learning outcomes but also train our students to take ownership of their learning and embrace self-directed learning practices [6], [7], [8]. 4.1.3 Solidworks/CAD/AutoCAD A new Digital Design Lab was proposed during the curriculum revamp exercise.

Students may choose engineering because someonetold them their good math skills qualified them for an engineering career or because they wereaware that engineers make good salaries. Obviously engineering is not for everyone and therewill always be some engineering students who determine that they really do not want to be anengineer. However, many other students may like the engineering curriculum, but because theydo not see the relevance of the beginning engineering courses, may drop out during or after thefirst year.A survey was made of freshman

For example, student difficulties in applying mathematicalconcepts such as integration to new problems have been discussed [10]. Weaving thesefundamental mathematical concepts throughout the curriculum, as well as making explicit theconnection between applications and showing example applications and their similarities toproblems encountered in other situations have been suggested as potential remedies to aidstudents in transferring this knowledge [11-14].
