DfE wasfunded by the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA) whose focus is onencouraging the incorporation of sustainability and product innovation into curricula. Thelearning objective of the DfE course is for students to understand the social, economic, andenvironmental impacts between product and process design decisions.

Now in its fifth year of existence, the Rose-HulmanLeadership Advancement Program (LAP) provides undergraduate students with co-curricularopportunities for leadership development that match their opportunities for developing technicalskills in the academic curriculum. The centerpiece of LAP is the annual Rose-HulmanLeadership Academy which provides students the opportunity to develop their personalleadership style and equip themselves with tools to make a difference in society.

Engineering Progresshave focused on applied statistics. Indeed, many chemical engineering programs haveincorporated statistics into their curriculum. This paper describes efforts to infuse statistics intothe curriculum at Oregon State University (OSU). The approach is primarily at two levels. Asophomore/junior level introductory statistics course, Chemical Process Statistics, has beendeveloped. Concepts are introduced through case studies using industrial data, wheneverpossible. Statistical analysis of the data is discussed in terms of the physical process. In this way,the statistics and the science are coupled. However, these concepts are best synthesized whenintegrated with hands-on application of these concepts. To this end, statistical concepts

Finally, in making estimates, a designer seeks to grasp multiple details of the problem,usually in numerical formats, simultaneously. Making approximations is one way that a designersimplifies variables of the design problem (Linder, 1999), which enables making comparisons andselecting.Overall, in light of this background on selection in design, it is valuable to replicate the study byRaymond et al.
