design,and it may function with even a crude flat plate collector in cooler climates.ConclusionAlthough the proposed pump will only raise water a few meters, this may serve forcertain agricultural applications. The reduced temperature requirement for the boilershould reduce heat losses and cycle times. It should also allow the use of simpler flatplate collectors, in cooler environments. The design is simple and should lend itself toapplications termed ‘appropriate technology’. This pump has not been built, but thedesign is offered in hope of stimulating further thought about low-temperature steam-driven solar pumps.Simple heat engines gave rise to modern engineering, but their simplicity can be

NDT technologies. The first stage of the plan was todetermine those NDT procedures which have the most potential use in civil engineering andcould readily be adapted to classroom applications. The second step was to locate suppliers anddetermine the financial cost vs. teaching benefits. The third step was simply the acquisition andde-bugging of the equipment. The final step was to develop lab procedures which could easilybe integrated into the current curriculum.NDT is still considered an emerging field in civil engineering, thus it is difficult to determine thefull impact of these procedures. However, on a smaller scale the success of these methods isindisputable. During the careers of the current generation of civil engineers NDT methods

In order to do so, students were required to research topics of theirown choosing and then communicate their findings to their peers, thus developing “soft skills.”The other central objective was for students to analyze the engineering design process as a wholerather than focusing on one aspect without examining the broader consequences. By examiningthe physical materials used, potential societal benefits of the product, and the practices of themanufacturing/sales companies, students were to study the impacts of these decisions anddetermine which would be sustainable.

Currently, such sophisticated design systemsare available only for specialized companies with large financial resources. The pay-per-useapproach will have tremendous impact on engineering design since the number of engineers andresearchers which have an access to sophisticated design tools will increase by a factor of at leastof 100. This rapid increase in the number of people involved in sophisticated design processeswill significantly accelerate technological development.The common problem being faced by many electronic engineers in industry is that their design
