It is easy for engineers to be blinded by what they think is best for society that they forget to think about the rest of society and how their technology can impact it in ways they had not considered, much like Victor Frankenstein when he created the Monster. It's books like these and ideas such as these, not created by engineers or scientists, that reminds us of how society can view the technological innovations that scientists and engineers create and introduce into society, and how we can treat the technology as a member of society to increase its potential positive impact

We propose to evaluate the impact on student learning by incorporating COINS intothe lab portion of the introductory engineering course.By embedding the use of COINS in introductory courses, we anticipate that the research willshow that core engineering fundamentals that students need in order to be successful insubsequent courses are reinforced. In a typical introductory course, fundamentals are oftenintroduced without students being able to understand how these concepts can and will be appliedin practice. Many students lose interest early on in their engineering education due to this fact.By having COINS embedded in introductory courses
