Solving multidimensional problems through a new perspective: The integration of design for sustainability and engineering education Ryan Legg, Mark Tekippe, Krishna S. Athreya, Mani Mina Iowa State University, Ames, IowaThis paper introduces the concepts and premises of design for global sustainability and itsintegration into engineering education. Since the main premise of engineering is “design withconstraint,” the integration of global sustainability concepts and requirements will offermultidimensional constraints that will enrich the challenges and benefits of engineering. Designfor sustainability is a new interdisciplinary approach to

They want to learn how to buildquality products and work with appropriate engineering tools. Nonetheless, the typical freshmanin many pre-engineering programs is not well prepared for the rigors of study in highereducation. Now, much of their learning comes outside the classroom, and often the hands-on, in-class experience they are accustomed to is completely absent.
