component of engineering education is helping students understand how the informationof a given class is applied to the current technology and applications of that field. In addition, it isalso critical for students to understand the broader impacts of a product during the design,manufacturing, and useful life stages as well as how the materials are disposed of, recycled, or re-used afterwards. One method of helping students achieve this insight is through the use ofmarketing-based presentations in which groups of students present competing technologies.This paper will describe such presentations that encourage students to explore both the technicaldetails of a product as well as the economic, environmental, and societal impacts in order toconvince

developmentally, there must be aproper balance of both a challenging curriculum and support for the individual learner. Aprogram that provides neither a challenging curriculum nor support for the learner tends to leadto stasis. Worse yet, students who encounter a challenging curriculum without having thesupport mechanisms necessary will actually retreat on the developmental scale.Although developmental theory has strong implications for student learning, it is not alwaysconsidered when looking at new instructional design. Creative or open-ended problems can bevery effective but only when they are designed around the appropriate developmental stage ofthe learner. A more recent model, Steps for Better Thinking20, provides a useful conceptualframework for

-Simon bet about thecost of materials [5]. The Bet, [6] is a book that details a famous bet between Paul Ehrlich,Biologist and Environmentalist and Julian Simon, Economist. Simon won the bet over thedecade 1980-1990. The lesson for students is that inflation adjusted prices of natural resourceshave a negative, not a positive trend, over sufficiently long periods of time. It is exactly this kindof insight, and arguments about the mechanisms that might give rise to it, that could be useful forengineering students in their careers. If they work as project planners and managers, it isvaluable to understand these larger trends and what they might mean for product development.

A student graduatingwith a degree in any of these fields would have deep knowledge of one aspect of the problemsolution, but little knowledge of the other needed areas. As this industry progresses through thesub-micron range into nanometer scale devices, it will become even more difficult to separate thescience from the engineering of the devices.While it is

This search will tend to remain well within the bounds of thediscipline in which the problem was defined5. For example, if the student is asked to model aparticular mechanical system, he or she will probably restrict the search for information tomechanical engineering texts and examples. A more innovative student, on the other hand, whenasked to model the same system, may well extend the search for examples into other fields, suchas
