The original solicitationsought to expand hydrogen and fuel cell technology awareness among the general public,decision makers and also develop professional educational programs. Five academic institutionsthroughout the country were selected to further expand the latter.

This paper presents the method of the course and the method usedfor assessment.Introduction and motivationCapstone design projects are common in engineering curricula. In response toindustry demands for more practical engineering graduates, many engineeringcolleges have implemented capstone design projects as well as to respond toemerging ABET requirements1. A survey by Todd, et al. found that about 60% ofengineering programs use industry based projects for some or all of their capstonedesign courses1. Dutson, et al. performed a literature review of over 100 papers.The survey identified the course duration, format, content, and evaluation as wellas a review of team size and

education institutions have the practicalrequirement to include ethics education to maintain ABET accreditation for engineeringprograms [7]. Ideally, students are equipped to consider ethical dilemmas from the microethics ofindividual ethics decisions to the macroethics of policy implications on an organization andsociety as a whole, and students should understand how microethics and macroethics areconnected [4], [8], [9]. Graduates should not only be equipped to behave ethically as professionalengineers in their individual practice as an engineer but also be equipped to understand broaderethical complexities that could arise as a corporate manager or executive, a research director, orany other local, national, or global position of leadership.An
