aimed to implement a sustainability component in the undergraduate levelclass. The student adopted sustainability component in their senior project for consecutive 2spring semesters. In one class, the students calculated the carbon footprint for a highway project.In another class, they students perform the life cycle analysis (LCA) for another constructionproject. The paper describes in detail the sustainability component of the design. This study willassist other engineering and engineering technology educators to include sustainability designcomponent in their corresponding courses.BackgroundWhile sustainability was arguably a niche concern prior to the 1990s, it is a topic of everydayconversation today. Acting in a sustainable manner is a

Through strain hardening, the metal’s strength andhardness are increased by rearranging the material’s microstructure with no heattreatment1,2,3. Cold rolling, one of the most common cold working processes, is used tomanufacture sheet metal, strip, and foil products1,2. It results in a smoother surface finish,improves dimensional accuracy, and increases mechanical properties at

The same board has been in use for over adecade and is still fully functional, with the monetary investment rapidly approaching $0.50 perstudent and falling each time the course is taught. The power demonstrator board is a relativelylow-effort, high-payoff, educational tool that can be used with other existing laboratory andworkshop equipment to create a meaningful learning experience. It is easy to use and maintain,and it provides flexibility for instruction. The board can also be updated with new componentsand materials as technology changes and codes are updated.Integrated into a carefully designed learning experience, the power demonstrator board canprovide active learning for
