“…It was an operationally-focused course, as it aimed to develop the interdisciplinary skills required for successful design and development of sustainable products or services [7]. The course built on our study of prior courses in "design thinking" ( [4], [5]), project-based learning ([8]- [13]) and sustainability ([14]- [15]), as well as multinational course design ( [16], [17], [18]). The course achieved a multidisciplinary dimension through participation of students from different UC Berkeley departments, as well as from the Industrial Design program at the California College of the Arts.…”

This paper describes a multinational program aimed at teaching processes and methods for sustainable product development using multidisciplinary project-based teams. The foundation course teaches processes for designing sustainable products and services, metrics and evaluation methods through a combination of lectures, project work, and examination of actual business cases. It is to be followed by courses on green manufacturing and pre-commercialization planning. The program features bi-national collaboration between the U.S. and Mexico, motivated by our shared vision for the development of sustainable solutions in a global context. The exploratory foundation course of the program, Design for Sustainability, was taught in Fall 2007 at the University of California at Berkeley with students and faculty members from 14 disciplines and three institutions: University of California at Berkeley (UCB), the California College of the Arts (CCA) in San Francisco, and the National University of Mexico (UNAM) in Mexico City. This paper describes the course content, project experiences, faculty evaluation and student lessons learned from the foundation course as well as a proposed three-phase strategy for future program development.

“…To prepare globally competitive graduates, engineering faculty must be as conscious of cultural changes as they are of technological advances. 10 Producing global leaders in the 21 st century involves a seismic shift in the approach to educating engineers. 11 Alongside technical acuity and accuracy, the curriculum must inculcate the skills of open ended problem solving, 12 critical thinking, 13 and cultural awareness.…”
