These includediagnosing technical problems and formulating solution strategies, making engineering andmanagement decisions taking into account technical, economic, and social and psychologicalconsiderations, and confronting ethical dilemmas [6]. The instructor needs to either have lots ofexperience or they can invite aerospace engineers from the industry to give seminars and presentcases. The instructor can then have students analyze the cases. The cases need to be authentic,and may also be drawn from stories in

The product that the students at OSU, WSU, and SCC have addressed isthe design and manufacture of a robotic arm that is attached to a battery-poweredwheelchair.

An additional criterion thatmust be satisfied is to prepare students with a broad education to understand the impact ofengineering solutions in a global context. The most common method to introduce greenengineering has been through a senior/graduate level elective course on environmentalengineering, with emphasis on end of the process treatment. Recently, courses have beendeveloped that focus on methods to minimize or prevent waste streams from exiting chemicalplants.

This contrasts sharply with theimportance that most engineering faculty attach to these issues, and the stress that evenEC 2000 (for example, outcome (3.h)) places on these issues. Possible ways of addressingthis conflict are considered in the paper.Given the importance of assessment in EC 2000, most programs use a range of assessmentinstruments such as alumni surveys and employer surveys in an attempt to measure howwell the objectives and outcomes of the program are being achieved. However, the reliabilityof these surveys is not entirely clear.
