Teaching sustainability
Purpose: This paper aims to analyze how a tangram activity improved students' abilities to explain sustainability, articulate a positive perception of sustainable design and relate sustainability with innovation in engineering design. Design/methodology/approach: The concept of paradigm shift was introduced in the classroom by using a tangram activity to help students understand that sustainable design requires out-of-the-box thinking.

Algal food and fuel coproduction can mitigate greenhouse gas emissions while improving land and water-use efficiency
The goals of ensuring energy, water, food, and climate security can often conflict.Microalgae (algae) are \nbeing pursued as a feedstockfor both food and fuels—primarily due to algae’s high areal yield and ability \nto grow on non-arable land, thus avoiding common bioenergy-food tradeoffs. However, algal cultivation \nrequires significant energy inputs that may limit potential emission reductions.We examine the tradeoffs \nassociated with produci…
