At the end of each discussion, the teachersworked in teams to solve some problem that related to the day's discussion. During the first day,participants were assigned to teams and provided engineering notebooks. Teams are importantbecause an engineer rarely works alone.

0.002% uncertainty. To somestudents, this appears to be a reasonable if not a preferred representation of the final answer. Inan engineering thermodynamics course, this concept is more difficult for students since propertyvalues reported in tables often are specified at 6 significant digits, which can be interpreted as1/500000 or 0.0002% uncertainty. Having property values in thermodynamic tables expressed to6 significant digits, contributes to the students’ perception that more digits are better.Students are expected to learn to estimate uncertainties in laboratory measurements and be ableto propagate these to final reported measurement values.

In a pilot study, we evaluated 92 writing samples on the topic of wasteelectronics from a range of undergraduate engineering students in an introductory circuits class ata large public research institution. We asked students to read a journal article on wasteelectronics and recycling and then write an essay on what they viewed to be (a) the mostimportant negative impacts of waste electronics on ecosystems and public health, and (b) theengineer’s responsibility in limiting improper disposal of consumer electronics.

Factors affecting level of risk include: (a) likelihood of thedangerous event occurring, (b) severity of the potential impact on a person, (c) number of peoplewho might be impacted, and (d) extent to which the impacts are controllable.Two types of risk analysis are discussed in detail. The first examines risks of failure (a system orprocess or device failing to perform as intended)—important in design for reliability.
