A Model for Faculty, Student, and Practitioner Development in Sustainability Engineering through an Integrated Design Experience

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该工程教育研究奖授予华盛顿州立大学，将开发专注于可持续性工程的综合设计经验。该项目的目标是为教师发展和学生参与可持续发展工程建立一个可复制的模式。这将通过为期一年的综合设计经验来实现，将熟练的从业者与教师和学生聚集在一起。目标是通过与熟练的实践者和教师的学徒式活动，并注重环境的可持续性，更好地为学生的工程实践做好准备。这些技术有望增加学生对工程的兴趣，并将增加完成工程学位并准备填补工程工作的人数。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)This engineering education research award to Washington State University will develop an integrated design experience focused on sustainability engineering. The goal of the project is to establish a replicable model for faculty development and student engagement in sustainability engineering. This will be achieved through a year long integrated design experience that brings together skilled practitioners with faculty and students. The goal is to better prepare students for the practice of engineering through apprenticeship type activities with skilled practitioners and faculty and focused on environmental sustainability. These techniques are expected to increase student's interest in engineering and will enhance the number who complete engineering degrees and are ready to fill engineering jobs.
