This engineering education research award to San José State University would integrate sustainability in engineering education using a novel "co-instruction" model based on team teaching from engineering, business, and humanities faculty. A senior project involving sustainability topics named "zero-emissions house" would be piloted during the 2010-2011 academic year. The project would be co-taught by five faculty from Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Organization/Management, Industrial Design, and Political Science. The hypothesis is that with effective co-instruction and planning, the benefits of multidisciplinary project-based learning can be realized without the resource intensiveness which often is cited as a barrier to implementation. The multidisciplinary project-based learning approach synergizes with effective education in sustainability. This work is expected to be a model for similar institutions and have broad impact on the incorporation of multidisciplinary sustainability education into the engineering curriculum.

授予圣何塞州立大学的工程教育研究奖将使用基于工程、商业和人文学科教师团队教学的新型“共同教学”模式，将可持续性纳入工程教育。将在2010-2011学年试行一个涉及可持续性主题的高级项目，名为“零排放房屋”。该项目将由来自机械工程，电气工程，组织/管理，工业设计和政治学的五个教师共同授课。我们的假设是，有效的共同指导和规划，多学科项目为基础的学习的好处可以实现没有资源密集，这往往被引用为实施的障碍。基于项目的多学科学习方法与可持续性的有效教育协同作用。这项工作有望成为类似机构的典范，并对将多学科可持续性教育纳入工程课程产生广泛影响。
