Chemical Engineering freshmen at the University of Rochester were tasked with buildingtheir own solar-powered microprocessor systems to experience hands-on machine shop training,coupled with exposure to microprocessors, sensors, and data collection in a weekly workshopassociated with their Green Energy course. The student-built unit was supported on plywood cuton a table or miter saw, with mounting holes created by a drill press. Students were taught thefundamentals of soldering to attach a power cable to a 2.5W solar panel to provide power to themicroprocessor, and a small voltmeter panel to provide real-time voltage readings. Students hada variety of low-powered sensors (i.e. temperature, humidity, sound, light) to choose from. Inalignment with

this approach wanes is in teaching engi-neering ethics. When encountering ethical problems, there is no clearly defined pathway forsuccess, no theory that can always determine the best decision down to two decimal places.Indeed, by treating ethics as a definitive and static series of rules and guidelines, engineerscan unintentionally cause large problems with the implementation of the technologies theycreate. Philosophy of Technology, as a field, has long examined these mechanisms and theinterplay between the people behind engineering and the effects of their technologies. Thedisconnect, then, occurs not through a lack of understanding, or how engineers might dealwith ethical conundrums, but rather in how engineers are (or are not) taught to

Although their pastexperiences with engineering were varied, all of them had attended Engineering State at a localuniversity. Throughout the week-long Engineering State program, they worked in teams todesign and build buggies, magnetic cannons, small-scale steel bridges, and protective gear usingspider silk.

Students are effective in performing M&V tasks because they generally have access to thelatest technology and have the time to fully investigate contracts and proposals. Althoughundergraduate students will expend more effort to achieve a basic understanding of the issues,they can perform accurate analysis and obtain concrete conclusions. We recommend that thestudents work in small teams with an advisor who can provide them enough background toresearch the project.

Students in many engineering majors experienceintense academic pressure due to challenging curricula, rigorous learning requirements that maylack relevance to current engineering practice, and competitive grading structures [13], [14],[15]. These challenges specific to the engineering discipline can lead to elevated stress levelsamong students [16]. For example, a large-scale study of engineering students attending 70universities revealed that students who perceived their classrooms to be highly competitive were6.7% more likely to suffer from anxiety and 7.6% more likely to suffer from depression [4].These effects were
