Can you think of others? • Measuring the temperature of something can indirectly measure something that may be difficult to measure directly. Measuring the temperature of a wire can indicate the amount of current flowing through it. Can you think of other examples?A device providing a quick and inexpensive means of monitoring temperature visually could be used inmany ways in today's world. This module challenges you to create such a device.DESIGN CHALLENGE: As part of a team, you are to design, construct, and test a device that willdemonstrate a practical use for liquid crystals in the form of a

Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) in its well-researched ABET Engineering Criteria 20005 (EC2000) proposed that thespirit of technopreneurship be integrated within the curriculum of all programs. It forcesuniversities to develop a process of assessing learning outcomes of programs that are consistentwith the original mission of the institution. The Criteria can be easily adapted to embrace alldisciplines.

The impact of a jet experiment used an apparatus that wasoriginally purchased from TecQuipment [11] and required the students to compare experimentaldata with data generated from a force balance. The depressurization of a tank experiment wasadapted from the work of Penney and Clausen [12] and the draining of a tank experiment (anoriginal experiment based on the work of Penney and Clausen) also compared experimental datato correlations from the literature and were particularly effective in applying Matlab principlesfrom the department’s Computer Methods course.

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.
