Indigital media courses offered in departments oriented to the technical professions, such ascomputer science and engineering technology, the instructional emphasis is usually on technicalskills. Regardless of where these courses are housed, graduates working in animation, 3Dvisualization, and interactive media fields are finding that an ability to apply both

The concept underlying BIM is using digital technologies to integrate all project data inorder “to build a building virtually prior to building it physically, in order to work out problems,and simulate and analyze potential impacts” 2.Definitions of BIM vary, but common to most is an emphasis on the integration of project data.The American Institute of Architects (AIA) defined BIM as “a model-based technology linkedwith a database of project information” 3. More specifically, BIM has been defined as acombination of graphical project data such as 2D and 3D drawings and non-graphicalinformation including

Many of the designs were entered in a competition to raisemoney for Pennies for Peace (an organization that builds schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan).The students completed a basic statistical analysis on the funds collected and summarized theresults. In ENG1101, students were introduced to the engineering design process as theyprogressed through an eight-week, design/construct, team-based project that focused on greenengineering. Design constraints for the project imposed a 50% lower limit on post-consumermaterials used in construction, and the student teams were instructed to keep the environmentalimpact of their design very much in mind from the beginning of the design process and as theymoved through to

They must go deep enough into the subject to allowstudents to recognize the ultimate goal of industrial engineering, to increase efficiency, withoutbecoming too technical for a young audience. A practical way to achieve this balance is throughthe modification of successful classroom assignments.

The topics of senior designprojects are chosen by students, not professors. Since last year, each team is required to evaluatethe project from a sustainability point of view in the final report. Accordingly, a new approach isproposed in this paper to enhance students’ understanding of sustainable engineering designprinciples and to help them synthesize sustainability concepts already introduced in previouscourses.
