Who benefits from higher education,the individual or the society? If the emphasis is on individual benefits, should universitiestry to turn that around? What is the pay back expected of a university graduate to thesociety which funded his or her education? Who should fund research? Are public-privatepartnerships inevitably tainted? Should private donations, complete with limitations andconditions, increase or decrease? Engineering educators are centrally involved in thesedeliberations, on both a local and a global scale. Their contributions to the dialoguewould be valuable.In the end, it is

years. It was strongly recommended that design be a consideration in teachingthroughout a four year education, but it was noted that few universities actually give credit forconsecutive design courses through a four year education. Whatever the placement of the course(most are senior two semester courses) the consensus was that one needs to cover hard skills(project management, resource mining, and constraints), soft skills (technical communication,and team dynamics) and concept coverage (ethics, safety, intellectual property.) Design shouldprovide the integration of theory and practice, provide skills for employment, and be done insuch a manner as to over satisfy ABET minimum requirements. The design experience must

In addition, the use of open-endeddesign problems provided an additional benefit of allowing faculty to introduce broader issues,such as environmental and ethical considerations, not often incorporated into "content" coursesin the curriculum. For example, one of the assignments used in the heat transfer course wasstaging a debate about whether the U.S. should adopt the Kyoto protocols.
