可持续发展和绿色建筑运动比工程领域最近的任何运动都要快。超过40%的美国能源使用用于商业和住宅建筑的运营，这一趋势是有充分依据的。最近的行业调查表明，在4到5年内，绝大多数工程公司预计他们的业务将主要致力于绿色建筑设计。相比之下，目前的学术机构并没有很好地准备年轻的工程师应对这一挑战，目前的教师在可持续发展的原则或工程师在这一运动中的作用没有得到很好的培训。如果工程和设计专业要保持相关性并响应社会需求，就必须进行变革。为了适应这一挑战，作者设计并实施了集成设计体验（IDEX），这是一门顶峰课程，本科生和研究生与教师和从业人员进行互动。
Sustainable development and the green building movement have been adopted faster than any recent movement in the engineering field. With over 40% of the total U.S. energy usage servicing the operation of commercial and residential buildings, this trend is well founded. Recent surveys of the industry indicate that within 4 to 5 years, a vast majority of engineering firms expect their business will be significantly dedicated to green building designs. In contrast, current academic institutions are not well positioned to prepare young engineers for this challenge, and current faculty are not well trained in the tenets of sustainability or the roles of engineers in this movement. Change must occur if the engineering and design professions are to remain relevant and responsive to societal needs. To accommodate this challenge, the writers have designed and implemented the Integrated Design Experience (IDeX), a capstone course in which undergraduate and graduate students interact with faculty and practitioners o...
