The Take Away Point asked students to identify the content,skill, or piece of knowledge or learning found to be most valuable from the class. This allowedthem to see relevance of content in their daily lives and build stronger connections betweencontent and real world applications. The instructor began to see what students want to do withknowledge from the course. This gave the instructor insight as to how best frame content, whichhad implications of higher student motivation and self efficacy. Near the middle of the semester,a fourth point was added.

as well as more recent instances where UPRM engineering professors and their students, actively promoted energy policy changes. Collaborations with Social Sciences professors were vital as well as the creation of a university energy institute. The discussion includes a description of a traditional university-based consulting effort for a state agency that had key participation from graduate students. New courses on energy policy and on social and ethical issues delivered to graduate and undergraduate electrical engineering students are described, including a synchronous web delivery of the policy course to law students. The energy policy entrepreneurship was taken to the real world with the creation and leadership of a multi-sector energy

It was hoped that grounding the discussionof ethics and sustainability in this real-world example might be more compelling then discussingethical concepts in an abstract manner. The discussion first touched briefly on microethics,although there were minimal issues of this kind. Thus, the bulk of the discussion revolved aroundmacroethical ideas that related to the situation. This included considerations of environmentalethics, anthropocentric vs. non-anthropocentrism, utilitarianism, etc. Two of the students in theclass had extensive knowledge of ethical issues, based on full ethics courses they had taken aselectives.

Thepressure by employers to produce graduates who are better prepared to work on multidisciplinaryteams is one reason faculty incorporate student project teams into their courses. Yet, mimickingthe professional world may produce performance measures that value product quality overindividual learning in the classroom. Professional settings, which value efficiency and highquality, expect employees to be specialists (depth at the expense of breadth).

This is rewarding because it demonstrates to the students the “real-world” aspects of fields that are often only taught from a conceptual, non-applied standpoint.  Robotic programs are team-oriented.

Those whohold this view believe that the application of a “correct” mathematical structural analysis willenable the accurate prediction of the stresses and strains in a structure under load and the designof the structural members can then follow.However, structural analysis is just one component of the design process. Analysis of a structuredoes not occur until after numerous design decisions have been made, many of them based onthe economics of the particular structural problem. Practicing structural engineers know thatgood structural design depends on numerous other factors or types of knowledge apart frommathematical structural analysis.

infuse ethics via a requiredcourse in an engineering class and in the humanities curriculum, respectively [6].Researchers also advocate for particular pedagogies when it comes to teaching engineeringethics. Sarah Pfatticher suggests that we consider “the right balance of structure and flexibility inour curricula to foster the habits of mind appropriate to ethical practice of engineering educationin a globalized world” [7, p. 256]. To this end, she argues that scaffolding the practices andthought processes of ethical decision-making should be part of our curriculum conversations.Other researchers support hands-on projects and teamwork for engaging future engineers inpracticing and applying ethics. For example, William Frey writes about teaching
