To do this,Schemmel introduced a laboratory project in the reinforced concrete design course; studentswere divided into groups of four on the first day of class and the project made each groupresponsible for designing, fabricating, and testing an 8 ft long beam. The students also assigned acost to their effort via a wage scale and invoices; projects that were completed behind schedulereceived a wage decrease. The students were assessed using a written report and oralpresentation. Schemmel reported that the educational benefits of the project outweighed thesignificant time spent by the faculty and students planning and implementing the project.

Further, many products in this paradigm areeven designed with a planned obsolescence, designed to be used by a consumer for a few yearsthen discarded for the ‘new’ model.The first change to this traditional design paradigm in moving toward sustainable design occurredwith the focus on eco-efficiency. While it can be argued that eco-efficiency had its roots in earlyindustrialisation3, it has been since the 1992 Rio Earth Summit and Agenda 214 that industriesacross the globe have started to embrace the concept. It was officially coined as a term by theBusiness Council for Sustainable Development in 19973.Eco-efficiency itself is based on the idea of doing more with less, doing more with the resourcesthat are consumed, generating

The course rationale was asfollows19: The ability to communicate clearly and effectively is an invaluable life skill, as well as one of the biggest indicators of an individual’s future success. Strong English writing and speaking skills will help students planning to study or work in the U.S. succeed in their courses and later in their professions. While this course alone cannot guarantee successful English communication skills (students must practice for the rest of their academic careers to graduate with those), it can at least set students on the road to developing
