As one writerput it, “I think mentors should be role models, BUT a role model who hasn't forgotten where s/hecame from, how s/he got to where s/he is now and always looking back to see if s/he can help thosethat came from the very same place.”3 Everyone has had to write and engineering faculty continue tohave to produce text throughout their careers. By taking their own travels through communication asa means to get engineering students to look at their own tasks, a bond can form that allows for theimprovement of student text.ProcedureHow does one approach a situation where the faculty is to

There is a need for deeper understanding ofeffect of energy efficiency on component/system design, the environment, and their longterm sustainability. Therefore, current programs need to evolve by infusing these subjectsin the curriculum and laboratory practices. In most engineering technology programs, thetopics are introduced informally in one or more courses. Sustainability is an essentialelement of learning in any technical field [6,7,8], and an integrated approach to teach theconcepts and practices from fundamental to advanced senior-level courses is moreprudent in reforming engineering technology curricula.This paper presents an initiative on integrated teaching of energy
