She also worked in the 1970s at AT&T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, NJ. Dr. Ryder’s research interests on static/dynamic program analyses for object-oriented and dynamic programming languages and systems, focus on usage in practical software tools for ensuring the quality and security of industrial-strength applications. Dr. Ryder became a Fellow of the ACM in 1998, and received the ACM SIGSOFT Influential Educa- tor Award (2015), the Virginia AAUW Woman of Achievement Award (2014), and the ACM President’s Award (2008).

Dewey’spragmatism produced concrete results such as the laboratory schools, which pioneered theprogressive early education movement, and emphasizes teaching principles in contextthrough practice.Pragmatism and the ethic of care can be translated into engineering practice, and includedin the way we teach engineering and science in the early part of the curriculum forexample. Students should be made aware that science is dynamic, and that knowledgechanges. We do not normally convey this when teaching science. The pragmatic waywould say that rather than

= pathlength (distance that light travels through the sample). Note: This equation is only accuratewhen the absorbance of the sample is between 0.1-1.0. The first spectrophotometer that could effectively measure transmittance (and absorbance)was invented by Arnold Beckman of National Technical Laboratories in 1940. Beckman’s initialdesign used a glass prism to split light into various wavelengths and a vacuum tube photocell tomeasure transmittance, but later models used more reliable quartz prisms. Modern spectrophotometers use essentially the same design, but with a few key changes(see Figure 6). The light source is typically a halogen light bulb, which emits wavelength in thevisible range ( = 300-700 nm) and near-infrared, but a

Clearly, thereis no need for a lecture if the same material is available by alternative methods and can beat a time and paced to suit an individual. Considering the effectiveness of such onlinelearning as the only metric, as educators are wont to do, is foolish.
