expectation was that the schools would cover the topics on thesyllabus so as to provide a breadth of understanding of various engineering disciplines andconcepts but the depth to which each was addressed was guided by the needs and resources ofeach school.Affordable – the schools needed to be able to offer the course with existing resources and staff.No new teachers would be hired and there were limited resources for training or purchasingsupplies or materials. With our goal of providing many project-based experiences, carefulattention in selecting projects was required. Fortunately there are a number of very goodresources that provide freely available project plans, many of which are now linked to state andnational educational standards. Table 2

We intend to include about three tofive lectures, each of one hour duration to begin with, at appropriate places in thesyllabus. The idea is not to compromise the core content of the course but to supplementit with ideas of sustainability.At this stage, some of the ideas of sustainability mentioned in the ‘Introduction’ havebeen introduced in only two of the courses taught by the author, i.e. MASE 5700 –Aerodynamics and MASE 341 – Fluid Mechanics. The student response has beenexcellent. We plan to introduce
