Funding wasprovided by DTE Energy with students serving as paid Lawrence Tech research employees on theproject. This author, a Lawrence Tech faculty member in the A. Leon Linton Department ofMechanical Engineering, served as the principle investigator and primary coordinator of the work.The project ran from June 2012 to December 2013. Numerous educational benefits for studentswere provided during this project. Some of these simply cannot be taught in the classroom andhelp prepare the student for eventual work in industry. The more prominent benefits gained bystudents on this project are listed below: • Dealing with various levels of working

They are a favored option to neutralize and balance a building’s carbon emissions.Green roofs do this by increasing the standard roof’s insulation and reducing heat and coolingloss; this results in the reduction of energy usage from the building. In the United States,commercial and residential buildings are responsible for a third of the greenhouse gas

Stefanie Panke [4] conducted a systematic literature review of designthinking in various educational settings. Among the K-12 research, Panke [4] found that teachersperceived design thinking as a positive experience and saw the value in these transdisciplinarylearning experiences, bridging the gap between STEAM and other disciplines.
