The Challenge of Teaching Multidisciplinary Sustainable Development Capstone Projects

Abstract

 

The Sustainable Development Capstone Project is a multidisciplinary, fourth-year undergraduate project course. The course has two components: an individual project that accounts for 20% of the final grade and a group project that accounts for 80% of the final grade. For the individual project, students prepare educational material (one-hour lecture, case study or practicum) from the standpoint of sustainable development for a course that they have already taken in their program. For the group project, students work in multidisciplinary teams on a preliminary design for a sustainable community building with related services.
