Sustainability should be integrated into everything we do, including engineering and student projects. This experiential activity uses the selection of materials for a wind turbine to engage participants in a contextualised negotiation of multiple facets of sustainability. Participants first assume one of 4 engineering roles to identify specific sustainability priorities based on their responsibilities and expertise. Next, they represent the perspective of their assigned role to optimise sustainability in the design. This chapter provides the outline of an activity designed to teach the learning outcomes listed below, material to assist the facilitator to prepare, and the slides and handouts for teaching the activity.
