. Bruce has studied and worked in the alternative energy field for 15 years in a variety of disciplines, with industrial experience in both large tech companies and start-ups. Dr. Bruce is keen to share his understanding into underlying physical science and how to use it to actualize engineering and bring innovation from conception to production. Dr. Bruce is an avid sculptor, painter, and photographer and he hopes to pioneer integration of fine arts with engineering at Fulbright to help examine what serendipitous discoveries can be found through these combined fields.Dr. Sebastian Dziallas, Fulbright University Vietnam Sebastian Dziallas is a Founding Faculty Member at Fulbright University Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City

Learning and Engineering EducationIn most parts of the world, engineering education started and took roots in early to mid-nineteenth century. Itwent through, like other specialized streams, the changes with respect to liberal education. Only a few decadesago, it incorporated liberal education in its curricula. Today the engineering educators wholeheartedly agreewith statements such as ―humanities and social science courses are very important in preparing engineers‖ andthat the undergraduate engineering curriculum should ―prepare students to assume community leadershiproles.‖10. Cherrice and Klein 11 point out that many of the engineering ―grand challenges‖ require a multi-disciplinary approach and integration of engineering and liberal arts

The report emphasized that contextual skills should be deliveredthrough multi- and interdisciplinary coursework, integrated into the existing curriculum, andfocused on an understanding of the ethical dimensions of engineering. A decade later, theNational Academies report Educating the Engineer of 2020 re-emphasized the importance of thethemes of interdisciplinarity, societal context, and ethics to the engineer of the then-future [3].In 2018, Dr. Ruth Graham, in her report on The Global

Unlike Borrego and Newswander’s findings where typical cross-disciplinary collaborators often seek-out experts in another field with a specific purpose of a pre-conceived idea, this collaboration began more “by chance.” As Kirkpatrick stated, “A group had been developed in previous years with an interest in the grand challenges. I was jealous, the grand challenges sound cool and I want to do them. So I walked over to that group.

Biesta notes that forDewey, knowledge is not prescriptive, and research would not dictate practice: “no conclusion ofscientific research can be converted into an immediate rule of educational art” (19).29 Reflexivity(a practice of reflection that is critical of its own power relations) requires integrating knowledgewith reflection and
