The first track is hand sketching and engineering graphics principles; the second issolid modeling, including assembly and formal drawing generation; the third track is the reverseengineering project and the forth track is a small design project. The first two tracks start withinthe first 2 weeks of the semester. Both the initiation of learning solid modeling and theintroduction of the reverse engineering project occur early in the semester with solid modelingstarted on the 3rd day of class while the project is introduced on the 7th day of class.

Searchesof the educational literature revealed a few reports of trebuchet learning projects used in anengineering course7,8,9. The trebuchet appeared to be a good candidate for an EPBL insertion intothe engineering dynamics course because it would require knowledge and application of generalplanar rigid body kinematics and kinetics and because it could be constructed with readilyavailable materials.

Asreflected in presentations and lengthy discussions at the semi-annual gathering of the Associationof Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP, 2005), a major challenge forincorporating sustainability into a graduate research program is the need to identify appropriateprojects and interested students producing the quantity and quality of research results comparableto other traditional areas of Environmental Engineering.
