1education has been widely recognized globally. The advances in science and technology and thecreative works by US engineering schools make the nation a leader in innovative technologydevelopment in the world. In contrast, the lack of an integrative systemic engineering knowledgelimits the vision of US engineers in the leadership of sustainable development.Sustainable development requires engineering engagement in policy making, risk analysis, anddisaster management. Engineers have developed technical specifications, standards, guidelines,regulations and building codes in many areas. However, it is realized that engineers should alsoplay an important role in policymaking, legislative and other administrative activities. In recentyears, the US

The iterative thinkingprocess required to achieve even partial success in solving ambiguous problems not only activelyengages students, but has also been shown to improve learning and retention [4].Developing collaborative problem-solving skills, starting with the transformative freshmen year,provides students with the outlook and tools crucial for academic and professional success [5],[6]. Integrating design into the first semester exposes students to the complex process of creating,assessing, selecting, and realizing an initial prototype [7, 8]. By incorporating a fun foam coredesign project, students gain exposure to the design process such that many of them arecomfortable designing their own equipment for their final project. More
