Using case-based courseinstruction involving student teamwork, an interactive course is developed to raise theenvironmental literacy of upper-level undergraduate and graduate engineering students, and tointegrate principles of engineering economy specifically for materials processing andmanufacture.With an understanding of both environmental and economic repercussions of materials selection,undergraduate students will make more informed decisions in undertaking their Senior DesignCourses, and graduate students will be compelled to include aspects of these concepts in theirresearch objectives

It is computationally expensive to find the minimum height or themaximum number of cleared rows. Some researchers consider Tetris as an optimization problem [9]. Someeducators use Tetris for teaching game development [10–15]. In the fall semester of 2009, we used Tetris as a semester-long project in a course of object-orientedprogramming.
