The students were told that they would be part of a semester long study todetermine whether or not the green engineering concepts so enthusiastically embraced byacademics could be successfully transferred to students and internalized by students so that theseconcepts might actually have an impact on industry upon graduation of the students. Thestudents were told how important the concept of green engineering was viewed by suchinfluential agencies as the EPA and about the large number of funded projects that addressed thesingle issue of green engineering.
