engineering programs, West Point offers a course on Energy Conversion Systems whichcovers conventional topics of fossil fuel utilization, combustion, advanced power andrefrigeration cycles, direct energy conversion, chemical equilibrium, and so on. However, thecourse has evolved to reflect current energy issues, by including lessons on national and globalenergy usage, climate change, nuclear power, hydrogen, and renewable and alternative energy.In addition to this course, there are senior capstone projects and cadet independent studies thatare connected to alternative energy research and development. The goals are to provide a broadoverview to the cadets, such that the cadets are excited to continue the pursuit of energyalternatives as graduates and

haveconsequences that the civil engineering profession may not have fully considered and addressed.One of the main topics raised in the comments is the potential impact that the additionaleducation requirement will have on the projected shortage of engineers. These commentspresent the thought that this change may exacerbate the issue by making a Civil Engineeringdegree less attractive to students. These comments also suggest that the proposed change couldlower the average salary of a Civil Engineering graduate, rather than raise it.The comments from academic leaders who responded to the survey include the followingthoughts related to recruiting and training future engineers (items in brackets were added): “In my capstone design class of >90

MaterialsIntroductionThe work reported in this paper begins with the end of a previous research project. Our earlierwork investigated student understanding of mechanics of materials1–3. After describing howstudents understand this topic, we wanted to move on to developing course materials to helpbuild on students’ existing understanding and address misconceptions. This is not an unusualprogression, and, indeed, our initial research in this area showed us that most course materialsthat are developed from research never achieve broad adoption4. Many engineering educatorsdevelop their own materials, duplicating researchers’ efforts and potentially denying students thebenefit of research-based materials with proven effectiveness. The lack of adoption is a

The addition of these threedesign courses, along with engineering design activities in our established First-YearEngineering program, introduces a “design spine” in the curriculum that emphasizes problem-based learning across all four years of the engineering degree program.

UO laboratories, as a core course that has designexperience and/or experiments within it, is an optimal place for safety outcomes to be covered.  It should be noted that the need for process safety education is not new; the challenge is
