thesustainability of the project goals.7The components of this particular project are to: a) Develop a prototype of a simple ventilation system that improves indoor air quality by using thermoelectric (TE) cells, driven by waste heat from the cooking fire, to energize a 12-volt battery charging system and power a small fan in a duct. Energy produced that is not required for ventilation can be stored in a battery for lighting, charging a mobile phone, or other needs. b) Develop and test an improved ceramic filter geometry based on the Filtron filter. The improved filter requires less fuel per filter to fire the kiln, reduces production breakage, and simplifies shipping on local roadways. c) Examine the

University of Wisconsin-Platteville are required to complete a large number of diverse writing assignments. Theycomplete ten laboratory courses, many of which require weekly lab reports. Senior-level coursesare focused on design, and students prepare many technical design reports in these courses; alarge design paper is the final deliverable for the capstone Senior Design course. Moreover,given the undergraduate-only nature of the university, all student writing is assessed by facultymembers. The traditional model for grading student writing is to mark up the writing withcorrections and suggestions for improvements and assign a grade between 0 and 100%.Despite the extensive practice students carry out and despite the frequent, thorough, and well

As the tap stand locationremains lower than the location of the reservoir, students can notice water continuing to flow asthe third student is responsible for turning the tap stand valve on and off. However, as soon asthe location of the tap stand is higher than the location of the reservoir, water flow stops. Thus,students realize that the location of the outflow must be lower than the location of the inflowassuming

Before the course, I thought solving climate change was a simple matter of reducing emissions. However, now I understand addressing climate change involves not only mitigation but adaptation and loss and damage as well. I also learned about equitable climate policy, the differences in the opinions of developed and developing countries, economics, rhetoric, etc. All of this showed me that climate

Needy, Robert Ries, Laura Schaefer, Larry Shuman School of Engineering University of Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, PA 15261, USAAbstractA new challenge facing engineering educators is how to train both undergraduate and graduatestudents to routinely include sustainability topics as important design criteria. Equally importantis the need for engineering students to both broaden their perspective and learn to functioncollaboratively in cross-cultural environments. The University of Pittsburgh’s School ofEngineering is addressing these issues by educating students from the BS through PhD levels aspart of a comprehensive
