Similarly, the applicants selected are those they have a pre-existinginterest in engineering and a desire to learn more about the topic. To that end, the module shouldbe implemented in settings involving a pool of students with diverse interests so as to better gageits effectiveness.By implementing the modules twice, slight revisions and improvements to the material andactivities were made. In general though, the content remained constant from 2011 to 2012. Thefollowing module-specific lessons learned are discussed in detail.Liquefaction ModuleStudents were actively engaged in the lecture sections, the laboratory experiments, and the dataanalysis.

The prospect of using emerging technologies toaddress sustainable development has the definite potential of exciting undergraduate students. Several initiatives in this regard are already underway. Stanford University, for instance, isplanning to provide an innovative experience to students by establishing a residential program ina newly constructed “green” dormitory building. The building is expected to showcase sustain-able concepts related to energy, water systems, vehicle refueling, air quality, etc. and serve as a“live-in laboratory.” The new thrusts are driving curriculum reform.

His work has led to at least one textbook [5]adopting the micro-insertion approach to incorporate ethical decision making into the end-of-chapter problems.Micro-insertion inserts new content at the micro-scale of a course. For example, Riley et al. [6]describe how ethics can be micro-inserted into a course by expanding the context of technicalhomework problems. A traditional calculation-based problem would be expanded by asking thestudent to evaluate an ethics issue based on their calculation. An instructor hesitant to sacrifice aportion of their course to an unrelated topic is more likely to adopt micro-insertion when shownthat properly

Collaboration can help to assess whether a desired instructional goal is be-ing met. It is especially important to use collaboration when the desired assessment fallsoutside the expertise of the instructor. Collaborative inquiry is also desirable to show thatteaching methods are effective.
