The second class manufacturedthe testing system and provided a prototype. The freshman class was assigned the task of testingthe cans and analyzing the results. It provided for a vertically integrated learning experience,where experienced students were able to demonstrate to less-experienced students on how theiruse of the tools and skills has progressively grown more sophisticated.RationaleThe concept of vertical integration relates to streamlining an entire curriculum so that there is atangible connection between pre-requisite and follow-on courses.

movement towards the vertical integrationof design throughout the curriculum. Some of these initiatives are driven by the new ABETcriteria. This integration could be highly enhanced by an early introduction to processsimulation.Process simulation can also be utilized in lower level courses as a pedagogical aid. Thethermodynamics and separations area have a lot to gain from simulation packages. One of theadvantages of process simulation software is that it enables the instructor to presentinformation in an inductive manner without the need for time-consuming experiments. Forexample, in a course on equilibrium staged operations, among the concepts a student mustlearn are the optimum feed location. Standard texts such as Wankat (1988)5 present

In 1989, an armed man opened fire in an engineering classroom atMontreal’s École Polytechnique School, killing only the women students. In total 14 womenwere murdered [17]. The lack of discussion around these cases further supports a lack ofviewpoints and inclusion.
