These were the types ofopportunities that were built into the Rising Scholar Program. Consequently, the research team designed a program that channeled the selected studentsinto significant levels of contact with professional personnel at the university. Students weretaught how to acquire and nurture mentors. They were required to participate in workingexperiences in a faculty member’s laboratory and develop their own research project, inconjunction with a faculty member.

Our students, with some faculty guidance, are running anengineering consulting practice and working on a myriad of interesting and educational projects.Appropriate projects for student consultants are generally of the following types: diagnostic,development, or design. Diagnostic problems address questions such as “What is the oilymaterial that is contaminating this filter?” or “Why is the flooring material in our factoryfailing?” or “Why does our fiberglass preform process produce scrap during the summer monthsbut not during the winter?” Almost any phenomenon that needs an explanation fits thisChemEngine project profile.

Haws 10 performed a review of 42 engineering ethics papers from the 1996 to1999 proceedings of the American Society for Engineering Education annual conferences. Hawsnoted that high profile cases were identified in the majority of papers that discussed case studies.Alternatively, Herkert 11 has argued that while high profile cases are useful for creating interestin engineering ethics among students, the practicing engineer is more likely to encounter moremundane dilemmas as part of their profession.As educators we can hope and reasonably assume that our graduates will not be at

WhileHenry Petroski was concerned about failures in engineering design, I believe the same applies toeducation. “I believe that the concept of failure – mechanical and structural failure in the context ofthis discussion – is central to understanding engineering, for engineering design has as its first andforemost objective the obviation of failure”.1 We also must learn from our past failures inengineering education. How can we justify such low graduation rates?I will take a brief tour down memory lane before looking at where we are today and where we maybe going in the future.
