The first session will relate the use ofGreen Engineering materials in a stand-alone technical elective - which, in essence, will bea broad overview of the textbook and supporting materials. The environmental materialwill be presented in the context of both assessment and design, starting from molecularlevel and progressing through unit operations, flowsheet analyses, and life cycleassessment. Specific topics will include an environmental literacy section (environmentalissues and regulations), an introduction to risk, evaluating environmental partitioning andfate, evaluation of

The Architecture De-partment changed the course to an upper division design studio; this gave the students more unitsand more time for the class, but also meant that the students self-selected the course. It alsomeant that the architectural students were scheduled to meet 12 hours each week, for three four-hour sessions, while the Civil Engineering Department kept the course as a 400-level technicalelective and the engineering students were scheduled for 4 hrs each week, with two two-hoursessions that coincided with the last two hours of the architectural studio.

Summers declared that the three most likely explanationsfor the continuing under representation of women in the top level of science professors are that:1) women remain unwilling to make the sacrifices required by working in these demandingfields, 2) men may simply have more “intrinsic aptitude” for high level science and finally 3)(and least likely among the explanations, according to Summers) women pursuing these fieldsmay be experiencing

Design was also mentioned to be a vehicleto enhance other skills such as teamwork, communication skills, persistence and planning a largeproject in stages. Instructors who teach design were explicitly asked to comment on the role ofdesign in engineering science vs. in other, more traditional engineering programs. No
