Ironically, these opportunities sometimes came as a reward for a job well done forengineering contributions but placed the individual in an awkward position. As Matson1 andLancaster2 have reported, and this author observed while working in industry, engineers usuallyfind themselves very poorly equipped to take on their management assignments.As the program evolved over the next 16 years, the enrollment grew to include students fromColorado, from across the United States, and from around the world.

These efforts were the results of severalfundamental changes that occurred in the late 70s and 80s and policies that were enacted at thefederal and state levels. Some of these were:• Concerns about the demand for engineers in the U.S. to outpace their supply. There was also a need to maintain or increase enrollment in engineering and technology areas. These disciplines saw some of the largest drop in undergraduate enrollment; the total undergraduate enrollment of full-time and part-time students decreased by over 8% between 1988 and 1997 [1,2].• Minorities and women would represent a significant portion of new workforce in the U.S

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.
