This is a truly distinctive approach to our 1 Fall 2010 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, Villanova University, October 15-16, 2010program compared to existing, more traditional programs. To ensure the breadth of understanding thatwe wish to impart to our students, the core courses were structured so that the first two coursesprovide the technical education and the third course provides the broader context (although this is alsowoven into the first two courses as well).Our new inter-disciplinary Master’s degree in Sustainable Engineering was launched in December2010. The program is available to all engineering and science disciplines and is

the issues of problem-solving tools, methods,etc. are discussed, and in the other class we teach them issues regarding the rules and ways ofthe university. After a few years of experience, we also started to cover concepts like the way tostudy, the way to manage time, the way to do team work, the way to do research, and even theway to take classes and be successful. These are efforts based on long-term observation andvery detailed study. In general they are very useful and successful and have proven valuable toall the students.However, there seems to be a great deal missing. We see more than a few bright students whoare coming to the university with successful high school years and a reasonably goodperformance on high school tests who do not

Manytextbooks in descriptive geometry discuss this so-called polygon method or vector-polygonmethod in the chapter of vector graphics 2,3. Solutions are usually handled with the graphicalconstruction of vector polygons.Today, the CAD systems with solid modeling capability are becoming more popular inengineering design.
