tothink well requires intentional changes: changes in thinking processes, and changes in everydayhabits and routines. One does not employ new thinking skills in isolation; rather, it requiresdeveloping a lifestyle, behaviors, and attitudes that inspire and support the process of thinkingand effective design problem solving. Design instruction in our six course undergraduate design sequence spans sophomorethrough senior years and focuses on sustainability in four contexts: environmental, socio-cultural, economic, and technical. Students learn to design (and re-design) for sustainability inall contexts and are required to build their designs. Throughout the program, students arerequired to design or re-design products and processes that are
