asInsull-Enron that inspired the laws being forgotten.Conclusion and final thoughts Based on arguments from ABET , the National Research Council19, Mendoza-Garcia et 17al. , and others, public policy should be included in the engineering curriculum. We recognizethat many educators might hesitate to include such topics because of a lack of familiarity withthe subject matter, or uncertainty about how it can be connected to technical learning so in thispaper we presented an example of how to integrate policy into an engineering classroom using acase study module framed through Stone’s 28 four social goals. However, this module is not thesole method; public policy could be integrated using experiential learning activities or through

the bulk ofthe curriculum. ABET addressed this danger with a capstone-design requirement that combineseconomic, social, environmental, and other considerations realistically.15 If students are toexperience engineering in context, that context must be integrated into the overall experience,not offered as a series of separate issues.Understanding that policy and technology constantly influence and constrain one anotherbecomes significant in preparing engineering students for the conflicting problems andopportunities within our society. The immediate challenge lies in finding projects in which theoutcome heavily depends on both engineering development and attention to policy regulations.As a current and significant application, building energy

Another term inexpressing consilience is interdisciplinarity, which an individual understands both theengineering and the policy aspects. In light of these examples, public policy is an increasinglyimportant topic in the engineering and technology curriculum as it is recognized by a communityof experts, National Research Council of the National Academies (NRCNA), AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology (ABET), American Association for the Advancement ofScience (AAAS), and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE).The nature of public policy
