Students then use the protocol to conduct sampling in the local community and analyzeresults in light of their hypothesis. Students are required to submit a final written report.

engineering solutions.Educational ApproachThe traditional and probably most common method of introducing aspects of green engineeringhas been through a senior and graduate level elective course on environmental engineering, withan emphasis on process treatment. Courses were developed that focus on methods to minimizeor prevent waste streams from existing chemical plants in the 1990’s. The educationalprogression mirrors the progression in industry. In industry initial efforts were applied to wastetreatment whereas current efforts are aimed at reducing the total volume of effluent treated aswell as the nature of the chemicals treated. Currently, many of the environmental and pollutionprevention courses have been replaced by courses in green engineering

The Fanning friction factor is still implicitly defined, but can be read off the Moodydiagram.Reducing the volume flow to 𝑞 = 0.1 l/s, we find the flow to be laminar, since we have defined Re= 2100 as the critical value.As a final question, we ask the students to investigate the highest possible temperature of the waterflow in laminar conditions (pipe diameter and flow rate unchanged):We conclude that the temperature can rise to about 8°C before we enter the turbulent (or at least theintermediate) phase.This example clearly show that many problems that are too complicated to solve using pencil andpaper, are within reach

The paper includes qualitative results from a survey regardingstudent preferences for the new class structure in comparison to the previousstructure.1. BackgroundHistorically, engineering education has been dominated by a lecture only format,in which students are expected to retain and memorize lecture material,reproducing it on demand for exams1. This one-way transfer of information fromteacher to student has been termed the “banking concept of education” by PauloFreire2.In the 1970’s Feire criticized “banking education” for its inability to activelyinvolve the students as critical thinkers. Freire viewed banking education as aform of

It evaluates universal-diverseorientation (UDO) and has been most widely used in medical school settings.
