| description | It is of the essence of this paper to attach importance to enabling prospective engineers to learn about simple and plain techniques and technologies of the past, while learning about the most up-to-date ones. The ancient and primitive handicrafts have gained importance as the requisites of sustainability and this has made old techniques and technologies popular again in the last 10 to 15 years, providing a significant area of research for international sustainability researchers. The historical awareness in this paper entails presentation of several examples from as far back as the primitive methods of the most ancient times. Perhaps, these methods are not directly used, but the paper aims to reach a conclusion with experiments that support sustainability by using similar simple methods to obtain simple prototypes that work with manpower. In this context, the paper conducts a basic research about the main objectives of sustainable engineering education. In addition to a comprehensive literature review, it considers environmental protection which is the main theme of sustainability particularly by presenting some results of laboratory experiments assigned to senior students for production of new material from waste materials. The paper illustrates a case analysis, original with its practical research methodology, and deals with the concept of sustainability with a decided awareness for history, environment, and design |
