He goes on to discuss several aspects of socialjustice, including defining it as “standards for, and a view on how to promote, human dignity,rights, fulfillment for all of humanity." In his later description of the 10 principles ofhumanitarian engineering, he explicitly calls for the creation of “the best design that meets allconstraints (performance, reliability, cost, environmental, social, use of local materials, etc.) inthe social and physical context and keeping the people firmly in mind.” In fact, all the principleshe cites remain focused on one overriding concern – that engineering in general, and specificallyhumanitarian engineering, requires at its

The framework includes a recommended P-12 contentorganization (what teachers should teach) and guiding principles for P-12 engineering (howprograms should be developed). The content organization includes: ● Engineering Habits of Mind - Optimize, Persistence, Collaboration, Creativity, Conscientiousness, and Systems Thinking. ● Engineering Practice - Engineering Design, Materials Processing, Quantitative Analysis

A thorough mapping of their practices couldengage a broad audience of like-minded engineers that may have only bifurcated because of theirdisciplinary and institutional positionality. Engineers’ good intentions and their “desire to help”have created robust educational programs, yet scholars question engineering for globaldevelopment’s ability to actually improve the human condition [13, 28]. Post-developmentliterature claims that these humanitarians could be doing more harm than good throughneocolonialism power relations [29, 30]. In addition, others ask whether these efforts areintended to benefit

In response toengineering standards at both the national and state levels [1,2,5], curricula have been developedto help teachers overcome their lack of experience with engineering. However, two importantaspects of teaching and learning engineering have been understudied: 1) the ways in whichteachers learn about engineering, and 2) how they transfer that learning to the classroom tosupport their students as engineers

for a hospital in the United Statesmay not work well in a hospital in Ethiopia. Students learn that just because a solution mayappear better for a context they are familiar with doesn’t mean it actually is better for the contextin which the product will be used. By learning about and engaging with the difficulties ofdesigning medical devices for a low-resource hospital, students must also reckon with the rolethat engineering plays in social and economic inequalities, both globally and domestically.Products like medical devices tend to be designed for communities with the most money to payfor them and the most resources to build them, and therefore often can’t meet the needs of thosewho need them the most.With these ideas in mind, the surgical

applies to physically-based animation (PBA).The state of an object/system changes over time [2], and thus, PBA is animation created withphysics in mind, as in providing a physical “feel.” In a way, one could make the case that PBA isreally just representing kinematics in which pixels activate over time to simulate motion. Formore about the field of computer graphics and the graphics pipeline, the GPU, graphics APIs(e.g., Vulkan, DirectX, WebGL), and much more, see [3].In PBA, the algorithms derive from actual physics (often engineering mechanics) using physicsto represent physics. If that statement seems redundant, think about a loading spinner from [1].The programming behind something like [4] may seem complicated to someone unfamiliar
