Background Learning through the exploration of problematic situations is not a new educationalapproach. If we trace the origins of problem-based learning back to
resulted in curriculum compression – sometimes to extreme levels.Faced with pressure to add material, reduce time, and satisfy the demands of the (sometimesarchaic) industry hiring practices, academe too often resorted to a balkanization approach incurriculum development.One possible solution to our overall dilemma is to make the entry level requirement forprofessional practice a 5- or 6-year program. This is at best only a partial solution to theproblem. While science and mathematics provide the engineer much of the basic tool andknowledge suite needed for practice, it is design, and more recently its abstraction into systemsengineering, that is the essence of our profession. In educating engineers for our future, we needto think in terms of a

Themotivation behind this was twofold. First, the assignment provides the opportunity to develop

relationship between knowledge gained and students’ perception of theimpact of sustainable design and construction options. Findings also indicate how perceptionscompare between population groups, such as students of architecture and students ofconstruction. Students seem to be best equipped to explain their understanding of the listedoptions based on their experiences. Such research outcomes can help educators better toimplement SDC into respective curricula in the future. In addition, analysis of these perceptionsis a crucial tool for educators in improving students’ understanding of sustainability goals.Keywords: Sustainable Design and Construction; SDC teaching; curriculum development;Architecture; Construction Management, Sustainability, Student

Page 23.1152.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Teaching Sustainability in an Engineering Graphics Class with Solid Modeling ToolAbstractThere is consensus about the need to teach sustainability, but also concern about how toaccommodate these concepts into a crowded curriculum. Offering a separate course may not be arealistic choice due to resource or credit hour constraints. This paper investigates the capabilityof the sustainability component recently added to SolidWorks, which many universities use as amain Computer Aided Design (CAD) tool. We studied its usefulness in teaching sustainabilityconcepts to engineering students.The study was performed in a
PreventionAbstract Student projects have examined how to apply pollution prevention strategies to bothR&D and manufacturing in several chemical industries. This has been accomplished throughindustry-university partnerships with pharmaceutical and petrochemical companies. Severalgrants from the US Environmental Protection Agency have supported initiatives in greenchemistry, engineering and design. These projects have the broader goal of supportingsustainability in the chemical industry.Introduction Too often the teaching of a technical subject like green engineering is limited to anindividual class experience or one dimensional laboratory or design experience. The teaching ofpollution prevention in the curriculum is greatly enhanced by

In addition to the multidisciplinary engineeringaspects of microelectronics curricula, a 1991 Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) reportsuggests that more emphasis should be placed on statistical process control (SPC), design ofexperiments (DOE), yield management and total quality management (TQM) [1].In response to the microelectronics industry needs, San Jose State University has designed aMicroelectronics Process Engineering Program (µProE) to educate engineers in microelectronicsfabrication as well as to address the missing manufacturing statistical analysis missing intraditional curricula.
