until the final three or four semesters do undergraduate studentsexperience the "fun" in engineering through team and individual projects where they create andengineer solutions to engineering problems. Would it not serve these students well if we canintroduce such creative processes earlier? The answer is an emphatic "yes." However, in thefirst half of students’ academic careers, they do not have the theory and engineering maturity totackle many problems. This is truly a catch-22 problem.Energy policy issues are all around us. From clean coal technology to electric utilityrestructuring, energy policy problems make the headlines everyday.
