question of commodities, an S-curve ofdevelopment with creative destruction, and the Ehrlich-Simon bet. The conclusion of themodule requires students to write a reflective essay where they analyze the presentations moreformally for the intended audience, author biases, and methodologies. The students are asked tofind one thing they agree with and disagree with on both sides of the debate. Current students(2017) seem to readily accept ecological concerns about consumerism and show a desire forfairness and equity. This author believes those attitudes are well established in current K-12education. This provides a nice frame, as time allows, to introduce principles from sustainabilityengineering and design, which are intended to analyze rigorously the

Students that are placed in pre-calculus courses start 1-2 courses behind ascompared to those placed in Calculus-I. In addition, performance in the mathematics placementtest also drives placement in physics and chemistry. All this put together means that students thatdo not do well on the mathematics placement test are looking at 1-2 added semester(s) to theirgraduation

In order to better understand the role(s) of such a course in an engineering student'seducation and how engineering education considers these issues, the instructor team invited twoundergraduate researchers to undertake projects in support of these goals. One of these students(Amber Levine) was tasked with identifying other courses across the U.S. with similar subjectmatter and learning objectives (“EEL Related Courses Study”); she found 13 courses acrosstwelve institutions that connected issues of diversity and culture to engineering and were targetedto engineering students (Levine, 2016).

Our software acquisitionsmust compliment the curriculum, integrate with the technical capacity of the institution, andprovide sufficient challenge to students, all the while reflecting current industry standards. Weare thus presented with a shared dilemma: how do both educators and industry decide whichsoftware application(s) to acquire?Software acquisition and adaptation decisions often involve comparing alternatives of severalcriteria.
