acknowledge.Typically in the club context, the economic aspects are prioritized due to the scarcity of funds,and social acceptability is a major factor in design, however levels of awareness among clubmembers vary considerably. The non-technical course provides an opportunity to read and reflecton what makes a project successful in the long-term. The emphasis has been on the social,including economic, aspects of sustainability. Environmental sustainability is also discussed, butwith less emphasis on mechanism due to differences in student programs and backgroundunderstanding. The classroom setting provides common content that can be used as the basis fordiscussion of issues and assessment of sustainability, but the EWB project provides a powerfulmotivation to

“broad review”, and thesecond was “deep understanding”, which was an in-depth discussion on a specific topic relatedto the knowledge learned.In our department the class size is pretty small, so grading the summaries didn’t take too muchtime. If the class size is large, it could become a heavy burden. Graduate teaching assistants cando a good job in grading homework problems, but they are less qualified in grading thesummaries. One option is grading a subset of the summaries, which are selected randomly. Theposted sample summaries are helpful in providing feedback to all the students.Student SurveyAt the end of the semester, an anonymous survey was taken and two questions on the summarywere asked: (1) writing the weekly summary and (2) reading

This consensus has inrecent years been challenged by several reports and one major study in the US [8]. Challengingthough they may be, such reports they remain within the convergent focus and will undoubtedlycause many minor innovations.
