be slow to change. It has been limited by thepaucity of reliable tools designed specifically to assess ethical awareness. Engineering educators,then, must rise to the challenge of developing methods of ethics assessment in their classrooms, achallenge of primary importance if we are to meet the diverse needs of the engineers of thefuture. This paper describes research done to meet this challenge.Four institutions with cross-disciplinary design programs have collaborated on the developmentof curricular materials and assessment tools that can be applied to undergraduate designprograms. Our project began with the belief that with instruments for ethics assessmentavailable, existing tools could be implemented or easily adapted to our needs. What

method of producing hydrogenthat is environmentally friendly. The major disadvantages of the SI cycle are the hightemperature required for the decomposition of hydrogen iodide and the corrosiveness of thereactants. However, high temperature nuclear reactor designs will easily allow a temperature ofgreater than 800oC. Though SI cycle has been well studied the process has not yet beendemonstrated by a commercial, and there seems to remain spaces for further improvement toreduce the complex process scheme. In this regard, the predictive simulations are very useful. The purpose of this paper was to examine SI cycle coupled to high temperature gascooled nuclear reactor. A heat-transfer model was developed to analyze the SI process and

experiences like the recent crises inCalifornia and the Northeast. Traditionally, the evaluation of electric power generation facility performance has focused onthe ability of plants to produce at design capacity for high percentages of the time. Successfuloperation of nuclear facilities is determined by examining capacity or load factors. Load factoris the percentage of design generating capacity that a power plant actually produces over thecourse of a year’s operation. This paper makes the case that these operating performanceindicators warrant renewed consideration of the nuclear option. Usage of electricity in the US now approaches total generating capacity.

While it is neither possible nor desirable to develop a universalengineering curriculum, a systematic means of assessing and continuously improving an existing curriculum as awhole should be valuable to department chairs and engineering faculty. This methodology has been developed to enhance efforts by a department's faculty, led by its chair, toanalyze and understand an existing curriculum, to measure and assess input from a variety of informed sources,and to design an improved curriculum in response to the input received. This method delivers a new
