engineering courses. Hence, instructors canincorporate the modules without requiring a major change in either their teaching style orsyllabus. The technical components of the modules serve as natural gateways to explore thepolicy context. Further, the policy context components are compartmentalized so that instructorscan choose which components to utilize and how much time to devote to them. In addition, themodules contain notes that serve as a learning experience for instructors unfamiliar with thepolicy context and facilitate customization by instructors. A detailed description of one suchmodule is provided in this paper as an example. Brief descriptions of several other modules areprovided as well as the opportunities for the policy context of a
