The Environment College of Engineers Australia (the College) has also been proactively engaged in developing material, through collaboration with The Natural Edge Project (TNEP). In 2003, the College provided a grant to TNEP to develop an Introductory Module as part of a larger initiative called of the TNEP Engineering Sustainable Solutions Program: Critical Literacies Portfolio (ESSP:CLP). This paper provides summary of the trial process that was undertaken in the Australian teaching Semester 1, 2005. Key findings from the trial are presented and review requirements are identified for the Module.
