The SEEDPack can provide 1.5 watts from eachof its three solar panels. Additionally, as the project was to be deployed in developing nations, ithad to be reasonably low cost, and could not rely on electrical infrastructure. Only human powerand the SEEDPack solar panels were acceptable sources of energy. The cost of the kit, limited to$1000, had to support not only the initial materials, but also sufficient replacement parts to beused heavily for roughly a year.The Lab was to provide as many different purification methods as possible, in addition toaddressing the many different ways that the

concepts. Miller (2004) reportedthat a slightly higher proportion of U.S. adults qualify as scientifically literate as compared toadults in Europe and Japan, and he attributed this to the fact that the U.S. is the only major nationthat requires general education science courses for liberal arts students. Hobson (2003)suggested that a scientific literacy course for a nontechnical audience should have four elements:a focus on concept rather than calculation, an “interactive, inquiry-oriented” teaching strategy, aninclusion of scientific findings that define a modern scientific world view, and presentation ofmaterial that is socially relevant.

Students in the cohort identify an authentic campus sustainability problem,determine specifications, and design a solution to be implemented in conjunction with the RHITFacilities Operations team. There are scores of potential projects on campus ranging fromlowering electrical costs, reducing waste, and reducing the carbon footprint of the campus.Grant money received from Proctor & Gamble will fund cohort-designed

-energy design project. This curriculum model is easily transferable to other engineeringdisciplines. However, academic departments must be cognizant of the potential strain placed onavailable student resources if this model is implemented too broadly.(2) Background Facilitating learning for novice designers can be difficult and a delicate balance between self-directed learning and coaching; the advisor must build the student’s confidence in seeking andovercoming independent intellectual challenges. One of the hardest things to teach is how torecognize and deconstruct a problem. Novice designers may focus on generating solutionsinstead of fully understanding or analyzing a problem.3 Furthermore, Smith et al. suggest thatstudents’ lack of
