Furthermore, students might not beaware of the applications, tools, or contexts surrounding environmentally-minded design [3]. Toaddress the need for more sustainability in engineering education, we developed a new LCAmodule for our first-year engineering program at Ohio Northern University.

Engineering schools in the United States have specificcurricular requirements that students must fulfill in order to graduate, and some of theserequirements may incorporate a component of entrepreneurship education.

Onestudent comes to mind who, when given a problem to solve in a MET 230 Fluid Power laboratoryassignment, would demand providing him with the answer, and refused to work. He would arguethat it was the instructor's duty to tell him the answer. He expected the teacher to teach him, anddid not appear to see that he himself could be his own teacher.

Figure 5. A plot of the output voltage as a function of R0.Average and rms value of a periodic signalThe root mean square (rms) value is a relatively easy concept that is sometimes perceived asdifficult by a student newly introduced to an introductory electrical engineering course. In fact,some students might have a vague idea of the difference between the average value and the rmsvalue of a signal. In addition, professors in higher-level courses take it for granted that a studentknows what an effective current/voltage or rms current/voltage means; therefore, professors inintroductory courses need to make sure that their students fully understand the concept. Oneeffective way of embedding that concept in the students’ minds is by providing an

I think that makes it all the more infuriating when we talked about instances like the Tampa Interstate System or the Isle de Jean Charles where civilians are unable to improve their living situation or had it degraded because civil engineers dropped the ball. The profession is far more important than just sitting in an office doing calculations or drawing plans, because if used correctly, your impact on society can be incredibly positive.
