integrating into classes

For educators looking to incorporate sustainable innovation curriculum into existing classes, here are some suggestions for:

engineering / physics classes
design classes
business classes

Mechanical Engineering and Physics

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires engineering programs to include environmental and social sustainability as real-world design constraints in curriculum.
