However, the number of engineering science programs has increased by68% over the past thirteen years. Despite the general nature of engineering science, many ofthese programs offer concentrations in specific disciplines so students receive sufficientspecialization to find jobs in the desired field5.This research focuses on the growing number of general engineering and engineering scienceprograms offering environmental engineering concentrations with some integrating sustainabilityinto their curriculums.

significant learning curve in understanding the components of the ICsuggested that students would have an even greater challenge. Ideally, the IC would be usedthroughout an undergraduate engineering curriculum as a standardized framework for thinkingabout design. Early on, students could be asked to interact with the IC using current designs thatare on the market (like the toothbrush example discussed earlier) or by watching as others workthrough the design process. Later on, students could explore the individual sections of the IC ascomponents of different classes through the curriculum. With appropriate preparation, the ICcould then be used as a framework for senior design projects. The next paragraphs describesome approaches investigated by the

The resources required, both time and monetary, are minimized in several ways.Low cost, but flexible and current, components are selected, which minimizes costs to theuniversity or student. The investment is further leveraged by using the components in multiplecourses throughout the curriculum and allowing students to maintain possession of thecomponents for independent learning and capstone projects. Integrating the componentsacross multiple courses also simplifies managing replacement parts, if desired. Judiciousselection of components and projects can also

As a result, improper instructional approaches to complex concepts such as ACcircuits causes deep rooted misconceptions when students attempt to assimilate the newknowledge of AC circuits with their current DC circuits framework. In order to increase studentsunderstanding of AC concepts, a new approach to instruction and course delivery is required inwhich AC circuits are taught as an entirely new concept while appealing to students’ inductiveand deductive reasoning ability.Model for curriculum redesignThis five step model being suggested for the use of redesigning the curriculum to increasestudents’ understanding and retention of AC circuit
