engineer, should never be lost as part of the educational process,and cannot be reproduced by “virtual” laboratory experiences, useful though some of them maybe. Another compelling reason for hands-on experience in laboratory is preparation for research.This is often overlooked in these arguments, but lab can be a place where the student makes uphis or her mind that research may be interesting or not interesting to pursue. In my own personalexperience I can remember one lab in particular that was not particularly exciting, but stirred myinterest in research, because it was set up like a research project. Similar anecdotal stories havebubbled up from our students in my teaching experience at Villanova and elsewhere. In our laboratory

Students’ academic level was also assessed and it was found that64% of the students were rising seniors, followed by 20% rising juniors, 14% BS graduates, andonly 2% rising sophomores. It is also important to keep in mind that all participants were paidduring these experiences and about 15% of them received some type of course credit.Additionally, about 55% of the students had prior industry experience.

There was very little discussionabout material in engineering or sustainability education that causes problems or issues, butmuch more discussion on the framing of sustainability in the first place, the structural positioningof sustainability thought within the existing educational and academic paradigms (or, often, incontrast to the existing paradigms) of science and engineering, and the relationships ofsustainability (an, in fact, science) to values, ethics, and epistemology.The comments had an almost-universal anti-reductionist current. Several posts pointed out theneed to move beyond traditional reductionist approaches and frames of mind

For example, the University of Illinois offers a College Teaching course that attracts anumber of engineering graduate students who are excited about engineering education. Thesearch for Illinois ASEE student chapter officers included contacting current and pastengineering students in the College Teaching class.A second approach is to identify other university programs or groups that attract the involvementof students with a strong interest in transforming and improving engineering

Some of these are really on the wrongtrack, and they will change their directions and hopefully graduate with one of the many otherdegrees on campus. A certain percentage will forge ahead and successfully complete theengineering degree requirements. But another group will fail to continue what they truly mighthave accomplished. They will fall away from the engineering areas because little or no effort ismade to explain why courses in the freshman and

Students from entirely differentprograms, like Human and Organizational Development and Engineering, areencouraged to work collaboratively on joint projects. Opportunities to share their ideaswith other entrepreneurs are made possible. The course is meant to teach students howto dream about new ideas and how to take new business ventures to the marketplace.

Students are introducedto a number of subjects that are necessary tools of engineering. Topics include: study skills, timemanagement, the concept of teamwork, professional ethics, and oral and written communicationskills. The computer application aspect of the course is designed with the strength of currentstudents in mind.

Many faculty, especially those in research institutions (R1), may not have taken a course dedicated to teaching engineering students such as the ‘College Teaching in Engineering’ course offered at The Ohio State University. 3.

It was determined that the interfaces to date were designedwith programmatic thoughts in mind rather than pedagogical ones. The bigger issue to address is how the material is used in class. Other researchers havefound that educational software will be used in various and unpredictable ways [9]. The dangerwith software of this type is that it will only be used for problem solution and will become a"black box" to the students. The choice of a Rankine cycle for the evaluation may have been toosimple in retrospect. Solution of problems with more
