Armageddon is upon us. Others hold that the recent risein energy prices is one of numerous transient oil price spikes2 driven by chance or evenmanipulation. Either way, the present situation is similar to the Sputnik launch in its potential toinspire concerted action towards the long-delayed dream of energy independence. Through mostof 2008 in US cities, the price of a gallon of unleaded gasoline3 exceeded the projected pumpprice of the energy equivalent in hydrogen.Coupled with growing fears of GlobalWarming4 and the reality of carbon penalties5and credits6, this poses an excellent opportunityto bring college students and faculty into aproject-based learning environment whereeveryone wants to participate in achieving realresults.

At PurdueUniversity, for example, three main programs offer students global engineering projectexperience in the context of international development, namely Engineers Without Borders(EWB), Global Design Teams (GDTs), and Engineering Projects in Community Service(EPICS). Participating students work to create technical solutions to address community needs,either for academic credit or as an extracurricular activity.

We previously developed asemester-long EML project directing students on the process of product development in asophomore-level Biomechanics course. Using this project, we demonstrated in past studies thatthe inclusion of EML in a project can significantly enhance student self-evaluations for curiosity,connections, and value creation compared to a control group of students provided with the sameproject lacking explicit instructions to include EML concepts [5].The incorporation of entrepreneurship skills in biomedical engineering curricula is critical

In a first pilot run of a small slice of the new program, students developed aspace mission concept to change the power dynamics around water quality in northern Canada,giving communities direct control of data to measure their water quality and quantities. Thedesigned mission had to be implementable sustainably, with the community engaged at everystage. This concept is being developed into a full 4-year program, where students will choose amanaged path through project activities that give them all the core and complementary content ofa traditional space program.
