Multidisciplinary Term Project in Low Level CoursesAbstractCurrent engineering students need to be equipped with a wider knowledge base in terms ofenvironmental, economic, and social attributes of engineered systems, work, and materials.Sustainability is a perspective that can be introduced in early classes and not only as a technicaltopic in upper level classes. Lower level sustainability courses can be related to the knowledgegained in the required math, science, humanities, and social sciences through “mind mapping.”This paper presents a comprehensive term project entitled “Greening the Engineering Building”that was utilized to simulate sophomore civil engineering students’ interest in green buildingsthrough the development of a sustainable alternative
