Therefore, theinvestments must be made in technology that has a direct educational pay off with very little room for failure.The ideal low risk path would involve an evolution of traditional instructional methodology into the emerginghigher education environment of greater teaching obligations combined with students who may be time and/orlocation constrained. Mathcad appeared to offer some assistance along this evolutionary path at least for quantitativeengineering courses. A project of using Mathcad to prepare and distribute lecture notes for a senior/first levelgraduate course in compressible flow was initiated. Since the lecture notes existed in electronic form, the nextlogical step of using other software packages to

However, RETs faceseveral barriers to commercialization which have to be addressed for them to be commerciallyfeasible.Design for Commercialization (DFC), is a proposed systems approach focused at the projectlevel which could have a significant impact in facilitating the commercialization challenges ofRETs.

The “Energiewende”program can be seen as an archetypal example of the complex interaction between technology,economic, and socio-political domains requiring an E3-systems thinking.To date, traditional engineering education is still ill-prepared to accommodate transdisciplinaryconcepts and content. Nearly 40 year ago, Linstone et al. [4] described the need for a multipleperspectives approach in their seminal paper “The Multiple Perspective Concept”.
