Essentially ISO 14000 encourages the development ofenvironmental management systems (EMS) with the central aim of pollution prevention.1 Manystakeholders within a corporation are involved with ISO 14000 certification and performanceassessment. As our collective consciousness is raised regarding ecological issues it is becomingapparent that many of these problems will require engineering and

Throughout the world, there is increased attention on the importance of developingsustainable solutions to urgent and interrelated problems of society. Students in all disciplinesneed effective and robust education in sustainability, and that requires an increasedunderstanding of global systems. Developing useful skills through the application ofsustainability principles to engineering topics is a challenge, let alone understanding andapplying agricultural, energy, legal, political, cultural, biological and economic sustainabilityconcepts.

Since the projects are fromindustry and do not cover all unit operations, the students do not learn the entire simulator butlearn what they need to know for their particular project. They learn to use the simulator more asa tool for developing and analyzing process models, rather than for designing purposes.However, some projects do involve design or redesign of equipment and could emphasize moredesign if desired.This paper will discuss how projects are obtained, the types of projects obtained, how the courseis conducted, and some of the key items students learn.

Due to their high operation cost, first three maskless technologies are notsuitable for teaching purpose. This paper presents a simple and inexpensive polymer opticalwaveguide fabrication approach, i.e. Laser Direct Writing (LDW), developed for our ELET 5320(Introduction to Telecommunications) course.

If the overall grade weighting of the semester-long projecthad little, or nothing, to do with the amount of time that the students spent on their project, thenthe PBDS could much more easily be integrated into both the “design-based” and “non-design-based” courses within the curriculum. For that reason, from the outset, the PBDS overall gradeweighting has always been kept relatively low, at only 15% of the students' final grade.There were also questions about the optimum structure of the semester-long PBDS. Some ofthose fundamental questions are listed below: 1. What phases of design development should be included in the PBDS? 2. Should the students all be working on the same

In the Department of Mechanical Engineering atVirginia Tech, the capstone experience is a two semester sequence of courses in which studentsdesign and implement a product or engineered system. The first course in the sequence,ME4015, introduces the product development process and stresses concept development andpreliminary design. The subsequent course, ME4016, focuses on detail design, implementation,and testing. The courses are taught in multiple sections with each section assigned a specificteam project.
