Abstract: Engineering educators have typically used non-living systems or products to demonstrate engineering principles.Each traditional engineering discipline has its own products or processes that they use to demonstrate concepts and principles relevant to the discipline.In recent years engineering education has undergone major changes with a drive to incorporate sustainability and green engineering concepts into the curriculum.As such an innovative initiative has been undertaken to use a living system such as an aquarium to teach basic engineering principles.This paper describes the activities and course content being developed for a freshman engineering class at Rowan University, the New Jersey Academy for Aquatic Sciences and the Cumberland County College.
