Manystudents come to an engineering curriculum poorly prepared and with substantialmisunderstanding of what engineers actually do. Too frequently, recent high-school graduatesare unprepared to make the commitment to do the hard work required to complete their degree infour years. Some students who might otherwise become successful engineers change their majorto one that has more immediate appeal, is an easier pathway to graduation, or is taught byinstructors who

Aspen modeling of thedistillation process, and fuel property testing along with product utilization in a diesel generatorwas demonstrated.

As these tools became available to those in theacademic community, the question arose as to how best to educate students in the use of thesevery powerful tools. Various approaches of incorporating the design experience across thecurriculum have been reported in the literature.1,2,3 Many of these articles address the need forintroducing design at earlier stages in the curriculum and describe how to best integrate theseexperiences across the curriculum.

We found that a few of the studentprojects strongly capitalized on the strengths of the research center and that some of the projectswere worthy of funding. We recommend that faculty consider offering courses in their researchareas, despite the fact that references and books may not be available.

Thus, even with similar knowledge on the settings for ESI educationwithin a program, individuals may have differing opinions on what level of ESI education issufficient.A number of the write-in comments to the open-ended question regarding broad thoughts on ESIeducation advocated for an ethics across the curriculum approach, and it seems reasonable thatfaculty with those beliefs would make this effort in their own courses. One example comment is: “Ethics is a very broad topic and I feel, much like it's subtopic of safety, it is best integrated across the curriculum rather than in a single course. In this way students do not compartmentalize ethics into a philosophical and case study
