Themetric is comprised of sustainability credits in five categories: quality of life, leadership,resource allocation, natural world, and climate and resilience. Credit areas have variable points,levels of achievement, and a list of documentation needed to achieve each level. The levels ofachievement range from “improved” to “restorative”, and projects may gain extra “innovation”points for exceeding the credit requirements.

This is in line with a previous study by the Departments of Engineering whichindicated that approximately 50% of freshman engineering students do not pass to thesophomore year of study. The results also showed that the retention rate for the School ofTechnology was 56.8%. Furthermore, the graduation rate for minorities needed to be increased.For example, out of 34 baccalaureate degrees issued in Engineering fields during the 2005-2006academic year, there were only five minority students - two African American, two

In other words,the dominant image active learning in American engineering education does not necessarily inferthat most American engineering schools and programs have adopted or developed active learningwell. Rather, dominant images often have normative value.

. At this time more faculty participation is necessary to fix such learningbottlenecks.We close the present discussion with one example which illustrates how much effort is currentlyspent in exploring possible connectivity of mathematical topics. In a mechanical engineeringprogram, students have an added advantage of observing applied examples and verifyingmathematical models by experiments. Beginning with Statics, mathematical traces are recalledall the way to upper level courses such as ideal flows. Dynamics receives a pivotal importancefor this purpose. This final example also points out a new trend [1] that is developing in studentperformance (which defies our concerted planning efforts).One of the difficult conceptual areas that students

In heavy engineering, on the other hand, if prototypes are needed at all, they must often be preceded by an almost complete run through of the detail design phase.” [45, p. 69]Another work by French on conceptual design for engineers lack any

In this paper, we will report what happened in the first semester where the studio artapproach was implemented in a systems engineering course.
