The goal in writing this paper is to highlight the need for inculcating anappropriate skepticism in engineering undergraduates regarding modeling and simulation results.This is a work in progress. We are still trying to better assess how many engineeringundergraduates are introduced to uncertainty quantification (UQ) as regards physicalexperimentation and computational simulations. We are also seeking best practices forincorporating UQ into undergraduate engineering programs.BackgroundThe latest edition of the ABET criteria [12] includes as a student outcome for all engineeringprograms “an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation
