(especially ABET’s Engineering Criteria 2000 and theNational Academy of Engineering’s “The Engineer of 2020” report) have prompted changesthroughout the engineering curriculum. Many universities 8-14 increased the emphasis onengineering design and engineering analysis in their first-year engineering course, including theintroduction of hands-on context-rich design projects to be completed by teams of students.15Some universities created courses that explicitly attempted to increase their students’ teamworkskills,16 while others sharpened their focus on improving their students’ problem-solving skills9and creative and critical thinking skills.17 Perhaps the most difficult mandate of EngineeringCriteria 2000 is that students be able to work effectively

The project economics weredominated by the capital cost of the absorption chiller and the solar collector array which, todate, are still very expensive. A conventional vapor compression cycle has lower capital costs thatcan be offset by the lower operating costs of an absorption chiller installation. Advances inabsorption chiller technology and higher electricity prices would make solar absorption chillersmore economically viable.Running chillers and boilers off peak and storing hot or cold water in thermal energy storage canproduce savings if the utility offers discounted off peak electrical rates.
