Environment Across the Curriculum and Educational Modules
One major effort of the Green Design education effort is the development of an Environment Across the Curriculum program intended to offer all Carnegie Mellon students a basic introduction to environmental issues. Environmental modules and case studies have been developed for use both at Carnegie Mellon and anywhere across the world with the support of NSF Project 97-00568, Curriculum and Educational Materials for Environmentally Conscious Green Products and Processes. Here are some examples of Green Design instructional modules. Note that these are complete, but provided for educational use only:
