. Understanding themselves andothers and being able to use that understanding to get better results in their interactions and in theirengineering projects is the ultimate objective. While there is certainly an intellectual and theoretical sideof the course, there is also a side of the course that demands practice, use, and skill acquisition. For manyengineering students the conceptual side is fairly straightforward, but the practice and skill building arequite foreign and somewhat daunting.While the topics of the course are described in Figure 2, the overall progression of the course follows askill development model outlined in Figure 3. The initial emphasis of the course on values results in thecreation of a personal mission statement that attempts to

In this way, students can connect theirengineering training and skills to the challenges of creating a sustainable infrastructure fortomorrow.During the second portion of the course, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), students learn the theoryof LCA as well as obtain some hands on experience by applying this approach to compare twosimilar products using Gabi software.

Many subcategories of these costs of quality exist and it would be impossible todescribe all of themOnce the costs of poor quality have been identified projects can be implemented to improve thesituations.
