Next, we present a framework of key concepts integral to publiccommunication so that engineers can reflect upon how these dimensions affect the wayscommunication with the public is carried out. The paper concludes with a discussion ofsignificance, intersecting issues, and future work.Overview of the Deficit ModelThe deficit model, a term originally coined by science studies scholar Brian Wynne,1 refers toapproaches to science and engineering (S&E) communication and outreach that are based on thebelief that publics are critical or skeptical of, and not interested in, S&E because they do

Thisstudy draws on experiences from changing a course previously relying onmandatory attendance towards challenging and encouraging the students‟contribution to each other‟s learning.

After settingup your computer and PowerPoint-presentation, the bustle quiets down and you beginby welcoming the crowd to your country and university. Though they come from allover the world,from different societies, cultures and schooling, thestudents have twothings in common: all of them are engineering students, and; none of
shared areas of interest, it is possible fordiverse faculty to develop close cooperation and collaboration.Stepping Outside the BoxEngineering faculty can also seek opportunities to become involved in projects and activities thatare more often seen as the purview of the liberal arts world. For example, for 18 yearsIndianapolis, Indiana has hosted a Spirit & Place Festival (S&P). The S&P describes itself as acivic collaboration of the arts, humanities and religion. The festival committee explains its goalby saying that it “mobilizes ideas, brings disparate people and organizations together to partnerand converse, and sparks action for the common good. Through growth of the human spiritCentral Indiana becomes a better place.”13 Not

As mentioned, it is now timefor a more scientific assessment to see whether the program itself is built to sustain the habits ofprocess writing, audience analysis, and reflection.The assessment will be based on a series of data points: Assignment Grading Rubrics (2015 -pre-embed program and 2016-2021 embed program), Student Course Evaluations, “EngineeringLearning Community: Mentorship Program Student Survey,” “Semester/Year E&S Co-opStudent Questionnaire,” “Co-op Experiences – Summer/Year as told by students in Fall/YearENGR 1021,” and performance in

Harvey spent theseyears focused upon the circulatory system of the body. He was fascinated with the process ofblood circulation, and was continually searching for the truth behind the process. As “physicianextraordinary” to James I, Harvey had some access to cadavers by which to conduct his research.This access to the human body proved invaluable in Harvey’s research, however he began to seethings that did not match up to the commonly held teachings of the time.During the 1600’s the view of the circulatory system was that of a body full of veins which couldpump blood both to and from the heart
