Abstract
This study reports the results of designed-based education offered by the Environmental Engineering Department of Istanbul Technical University (ITU) through an example of a Graduation Design Project, as well as the outcomes of introducing new environmental management considerations to environmental system design, and impacts of those on the senior-year Environmental Engineering undergrad students. Overall outcomes of the study and the student entries gathered on risk assessment, uncertainty, sustainability, life-cycle-assessment, and resilience issues demonstrated that inclusion of those environmental management considerations to the senior-year Graduation Design Project, as well as the new and innovative approaches about handling the design-based education, significantly broadened the perspective of our senior-year students at the onset of their profession.
