the last three years, and thus has been steadily increasing the extent ofsustainability concepts included in the courses. Recently, instruction in sustainability conceptswas expanded from the Design III course to the Design II course, as a result of the instructorreceiving internal grant funding for a course-redesign on a Title V I-CARE (Integrating a Cultureof Academic and Research Engagement) federal grant. For the course re-design, a newinstructional module was created on heat integration in chemical processes, and then a short termstudent project was assigned to students.The sustainability concepts that are discussed in the Design II and Design III courses are (1)recycling of unreacted feed or other chemical; (2) heat integration; (3

This was an important realization,since most of the writing undertaken by professionals is written and rewritten many times beforeit is made available to the intended audience.Further rationale for this new approach was that many faculty members cite their co-writing ofreports and papers with their graduate school research advisor as having the most influence

More importantly, a textbook should only be selected on the basis of how well itbolsters the desired results. Although initially counterintuitive, planning learning experience andselecting textbooks after stages 1 and 2 are complete, makes the rest of the curriculumdevelopment process less ambiguous. Faculty often have a mass of information or activities tofilter through to find what best suits their classes; however, at stage 3, they can evaluateactivities, projects, tests, or textbooks based on the desired goals.

Eventually many test runs were made to get ideal results. The initial testsincluded a smaller resistor and capacitor. These values were increased to produce a niceplot in the given time interval. The system updates every second in the fastest mode. Acircuit with smaller values of resistance and capacitance would require millisecondreadings. This is not possible with this equipment; the equipment is designed to monitorprocesses over longer terms. When used in industry it is likely that the unit would be setto monitor a process over long periods. When
