the concepts of public service andsustainability into engineering education?Many universities have available courses mainly focused on sustainability, with 64civil/architectural/environmental engineering courses identified in a recent benchmarking surveyby Allen et al.1. These courses are most often electives targeted to upper-division students, suchas the Green Engineering and Sustainability course at Michigan Technological University andYale University referenced by Zhang et al.2 and the seminar course at Lamar Universitymentioned by Koehn et al.3. An alternative approach to teaching sustainability in upper-levelelective courses is to introduce sustainability at the beginning of the curriculum, during the firstand second-year courses. The

maintenance a practical approach to maintaining rotating equipment. Previouslythe responsibility of consultants who analyzed the condition of a handful of critical machines,monitoring programs were expanded to include necessary supporting equipment (pumps, motors,compressors) and duties were shifted to a combination of skilled trades personnel, maintenanceengineers, and technicians in-house1. This shift from consultants to maintenance professionalscreated an educational void, where graduate engineers and engineering technologists lacked theknowledge needed to successfully manage predictive maintenance programs2.An initial pilot version of MET 317 Machine Diagnostics was offered in the fall of 1990 to sixsenior Purdue University MET students to begin

To ensure thatstudent projects are along the same trajectory that the industry is moving, educators mustcontinually introduce emerging techniques, practices, and applications into the curriculum. Thefield of wireless sensor networks is growing rapidly, and there is increasing interest in providingundergraduate students with a foundation in the area. It is crucial that the emerging field ofwireless sensor networks be integrated into the undergraduate computer science and engineeringcurricula.
