Its relevance is acute to engineers who aredirectly involved in enabling the built environment. Accordingly, the well-known ABETengineering accreditation criteria1 requires engineering graduates should be able to “design asystem, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such aseconomic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, andsustainability.” Engineering educators have been making every effort to educate the futureengineers in sustainability and to prepare them with solid knowledge to deal with thesustainability challenges2-6.

The state vector contains all the internal variables based on which the output andfuture evolution of the system are determined. As a reminder, the state vector should includeboth academic dimensions (student preparation, work ethic, achievement level, etc.) andaffective dimensions (student emotional state, physical challenges or disabilities, participation inathletics, etc.). The latter are often a mystery to the instructor (particularly in large classes), butinsights into these domains can often give the instructor valuable insight into how to best help astudent move towards his or her

Storytelling Based Learning offers a way to approach andcreatively manage the long list of skill-sets required for effective engineering education. We suggest Storytelling Based Learning as a type of disciplinary knowledge creation.There are several levels, categories, and taxonomies of knowledge that vary from learningsyntactical knowledge to semantic understanding and to pragmatic approach where disciplinaryknowledge can be applied to new situations where knowledge boundaries are spanned acrossdifferent disciplines assuring a holistic view

Most of those expressed how much the activity helped them learn, however almostall students viewed it as a presentation with presentation skills. The final comment suggestsredefining the approach to move away from a presentation style to a discussion format. This willbe attempted in Spring 2014. Multiple students expressed the desire to have more student-ledexamples, which is also being implemented in Spring 2014. In general, it appears the studentsput more effort into truly learning the material with this activity than with homework.
