Curriculum Mapping

Sustainability should be integrated throughout the engineering and design curriculum. Here’s an at-a-glance guide for how to most appropriately use Sustainability Workshop content within your courses in the following disciplines:

Mechanical Engineering

ABET requires engineering programs to include sustainability, environment, social issues, and health as realistic design constraints within curriculum.

Course	Sustainability Workshop Content
Design Process and Methods	Whole Systems and Lifecycle Thinking Improving Product Lifetime
Physics	Energy Efficient Design Reinforcing Strategies for Lightweighting Friction: Reducing Energy Losses in Design
Statics	Reinforcing Strategies for Lightweighting
Thermodynamics	Energy Efficient Design
Mechanics of Materials	Reducing Material Use (Lightweighting) Material Selection
Heat Transfer	Heat Transfer: Reducing Energy Losses in Design
Fluid Mechanics	Fluid Flow: Reducing Energy Losses in Design
Manufacturing and Materials	Improving Product Lifetime Material Selection
Building Science	Net Zero Energy Buildings Heat Transfer: Reducing Energy Losses in Design Fluid Flow: Reducing Energy Losses in Design
Engineering Ethics	Discuss environmental challenges. Discuss engineers' role in addressing them. For example, can show Improving Product Lifetime intro video.

Industrial Design

Business

Directing business school students to the building and product design concepts and showing them some of the introductory videos will give them a sensitivity to the issues and a common language to talk with their engineering and design colleagues.
