A single very generous offer can help everyone to bring better offers to share withthe ensemble 2,3.For an illustration of generosity, consider the following two offers: 1. “We’re here.” 2. “We’re finally here at the San Diego Zoo—but I don’t see a panda anywhere.”Most people would agree that in a game of pretend, the second offer is much easier to respond to,even though the first offer has more possible responses. That creative second offer also requiredmore cognitive labor to produce. It is often more difficult to make a generous offer than anungenerous offer. This is as true in life as it is in the

Using actual critical engineering design challenges toinspire and engage students in design solutions to real problems is the path to achieving a highdegree of student engagement. Sustainability, living better on less, and team projects that directlyimpact people’s lives speak to this generation of engineering students. Energy usage is one of themost critical engineering challenges we face today. Global warming due to harmful emissionsfrom burning fossil fuels and rising gas prices as well as national security issues have drivenpeople to look for new ways to reduce their fuel consumption and to live better on less.
