sustainability had beenintegrated as an important theme. However, there was generally little organization to the effortsto infuse engineering education with sustainability, and the report suggested that standardsshould be developed for sustainability in engineering education. Another finding regardingsustainability education in US engineering schools was that such education tends “to emphasizethe immediate environmental and social impacts of engineering designs”7. This indicates theabsence of a critical long term sustainability component. The present status of sustainability inhigher education has been considered as: “Although efforts are being made in pursuit ofsustainability the current glut of unsustainable practices in the US and around the globe

The railroad industry wanted to utilize the fuel cell as anauxiliary source of energy, thus, employing a smaller, more efficient diesel power plant toprovide power. The net result would be a cost and fuel savings over various regions and terrains.The design team determined that an SOFC (solid oxide) cell was best for this purpose. On boardgasification of biodiesel will be used for the fuel. Major components include SOFC, gasifier, gascleaning, heat exchangers for heat recovery/preheating and cooling.
