The current paper describes a model for integrating a sustainable design course that can be open to all students within an Engineering and Technology curriculum. It identifies the rationale for such a course, topics covered in an introductory review of sustainable design issues, methods and learning strategies useful in teaching in a multidisciplinary venue and associated criterion from ABET 2000 that are integrated into the course design. This paper provides a sample syllabus for the course as well as a suggested project to be assigned to each multidisciplinary team.
