ANNEX B: IPOSE—IRAQ Curriculum

Friday - July 30: Interpreters arrive to meet with OSU staff to review curriculum to be covered
during two-week seminar. Note: all curriculum notes, power point slides, etc. to be submitted at least
a month in advance to MSMF to ensure adequate time for translation of materials. Friday will serve as
final brush-up and to answer any last minute questions

Saturday - Aug 1: Participants arrive.

Sunday – Aug 2: Rest day. Private dinner with OSU engineering faculty and International
Program officials

Monday – Aug 3: Setting the stage. Opening ceremony at OSU; seminar begins. Corvallis
community reception to officially welcome participants that evening (Top of the Renaissance)

Curriculum Focus:

This day will focus on providing guest faculty with overviews of student skill sets required in
engineering and construction projects in the US and elsewhere where sustainability is a lead
deliverable. Guest faculty will gain a clear understanding of the growing requirements for
engineering students to be trained in infrastructure and building designs that reduce
environmental impact and `carbon footprint, and increase building/structure performance and
life cycle. Guest faculty will learn about university accreditation requirements in engineering
curriculum in the US, and the growing mandate for coursework in sustainable engineering and
design.

Technical Overview: OSU faculty

Environmental focus (the who, what, where, when, why, of environmental focus in US
and impacts on engineering education based on these growing environmental forces)

Market forces: growth of green building and building materials certifications (US Green
Building Council and LEED, NAHB, FSC/PEFC/SFI, Energy Star, etc.), growth in
requirements for net-zero building construction, smart grid development, federal mandates for
construction requirements in the public building sector, etc.

Policy directions and mandates: Safety/liability requirements; renewable energy /
renewable fuel state and Congressional mandates; life cycle analysis based on carbon footprint
reduction (materials development and facility/infrastructure construction), biological treatment
of water and waste water; innovative solid waste handling and materials recycling; implications
on changes in university engineering curriculums in US based on these policy mandates; and
potential applications in Iraqi engineering curriculums.
