education. Anexamination of available textbooks on energy issues demonstrates a similar gap. We concludewith several recommendations to take initial steps toward rectifying this lack of sufficientscholarship in engineering education and lack of resources for engineering educators.Energy Sustainability is a Grand ChallengeEnergy sustainability is one of the grand challenges for this generation. It is a global,multifaceted, and extremely difficult problem: (a) energy demand is outstripping supply, (b)primary energy sources are heavy polluters, and (c) there is no clear solution. In this paper, wewill refer to this triplet of difficulties as the “energy grand challenge.” Demand outstripping supplyConsidering the significant problems facing our world

In the timeleading up to the start of the co-design year, faculty felt that it was necessary to develop anextended onboarding experience to introduce students to the year ahead. This course experiencewas co-taught, with two to three faculty from different disciplines and backgrounds workingtogether with a group of around ten co-designers and had the following learning objectives.Students should: A. Uncover and articulate their motivation to be part of the co-design year. B. Develop and articulate their expectations for themselves and for each other, as well as faculty. C. Develop skills to provide effective feedback (e.g., active listening, etc.). D. Be able to identify strengths and

An example of a team beginning to establishthis log-scale relationship can be seen in Figure 3.B.

In reference to Outcome B, the ME students are generally stronger in Outcome E thanthe IE student. The ME students are more familiar with the product and the associated factors(variables, parameters) that affect product quality and therefore can identify problems morereadily. By interacting with the ME students and communicating openly about the problems andpossible factors they wanted to investigate and why they wanted to investigate them, the IEstudent gained a better understanding of the problem identification process and how mechanicalengineers approach a problem.Program Outcome G is the graduate’s ability to communicate

using this method of solution-finding that iscommonly used for scientific discovery. In science, analogies are used to find new hypotheses bycomparing the current unknown problem with a solved case that has some similarities, promptingone to ask if both can be understood in the same way. In engineering, using an analogy may actthe same way. By saying problem A is basically the same as problem B, it follows that theexisting solution to problem B may also work for problem A.15 Thus, by thinking of analogies toteach teammates about one’s discipline, one practices using this method of finding a solution.However, as mentioned above, for students to engage in this knowledge transfer, and to discussand debate different solutions, the capstone team
