Thesestudents from an Industry point of view should also be made aware of the possible environmentsto which they could be called upon to perform their E & ET roles. Such environments are the air,land (urban, rural), and waters of this
foundsupport for our concerns: “Evidence is rapidly mounting that students cannot select appropriatesources of information, do not understand the structure or purpose of different sources ofinformation, and cannot critically evaluate the information they retrieve”1. This trend appears incase studies of professional settings, as well. A poll in the journal of Chemical EngineeringProgress documented Chemical Engineers’ use of time to retrieve and use information onmanagement, regulatory requirements, economic forecasts, and research methodologies.Respondents depended on personal collections or other engineers for information, because morethan half were not able to find and use appropriate information2.

Once the students had a basic familiarity with fuel cellelectrochemical basics and general design principles, they were grouped into teams of three tofour. To strengthen the multi-disciplinary nature of the course, each team was required to have atleast one mechanical and one electrical engineering student. Each team was then required tostudy and evaluate a major aspect of fuel cell research, development, design, safety or marketing.The flexibility for topic choice created interest and excitement in the classroom, and led toinformative, educational, and a state-of-the art discussion of emerging and innovative fuel

PSS was first implemented in a sophomore-level engineering course whose primary goalwas to teach students
allow, but topromote these external activities. Quite simply, those of us interested in teaching engineeringand technology have to continually be refreshed by doing engineering and technology. Sincemany of us are tenured, and not required to go out and continually re-skill, our deans anddepartment heads have to ask, “What might be done to enhance the vitality of existing faculty inwhom resources have been invested and to whom institutional commitments have beenmade?”[1]. Some older research suggests that encouraging faculty to return to industry for payhelps the university in several ways including: Page 4.262.1
