an enthusiast of sustainable design, I am excited about a new component of
Solidworks 2010 (an engineering design CAD software) that gives designers the
<U>ability to choose environmentally sustainable materials for their
products</U>. So now when students allocate a material to a computer model,
they can have a fuller understanding of the environmental impact of their
design. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=Pa4><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: #4f6228; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">The
new Solidworks has a functionality called, Solidworks <B>Sustainability
Xpress</B>, that considers <U>how and where materials are produced</U>,
<U>parts are manufactured</U>, and <U>products are used</U> and
<U>discarded</U>. It’s a <U>built in data base</U> that gets automatically
<U>updated as newer materials become available</U>. It’s just what I want my
students to consider as a part of their “designing” process, as they move away
from the old unsustainable “Cradle to Grave” design model to a “Cradle to
Cradle” design model – that aims for zero waste; materials are either food for
microorganisms or kept in closed cycles within industry.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
