The future of engineering education lies in equipping learners with the skills to harness cutting-edge design tools and sustainable manufacturing processes. Despite the availability of advanced technologies, knowledge gaps persist, limiting their adoption in academia and industry. This paper addresses these challenges by developing and implementing three innovative educational design and manufacturing modules that integrate sustainability and entrepreneurial thinking: 1) Generative Design using Autodesk Fusion software to optimize designs and streamline workflows, 2) Portable Sand Casting with "foundry-in-a-box" technology for hands-on learning, and 3) Green Manufacturing through the transformation of waste plastics into no-cost additive manufacturing (AM) printing filaments. These modules have been shared with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) educators via a training workshop and an open-access YouTube channel, providing educators and students with the tools to advance sustainable practices in engineering. This paper outlines the development and implementation of these modules, highlighting their potential to redefine STEM education and inspire the next generation of engineers.
