tostudents when they work later on capstone projects where they may be required to identify asuitable battery for their senior design course. Simultaneously, it opens an opportunity to discussbriefly on the materials used in batteries and their potential harm to the environment [4]depending on how they are disposed.Based on these discussions an assignment is given to students. While the points assigned to theproject are only three percent of the total grade, the goal of the assignment is to encourageresearching sources and reading materials relevant to appropriate disposal of different types ofbatteries that can harm environment. Further, students gathered information related toresponsible behavior and examined how different individuals practice the
