He is the co-inventor of, and continues to develop restructuration theory that describes the changing content of knowledge in the context of ubiquitous computation, and its implications for making sense of complexity. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Learning About Diffusion at Two Levels: Agent-based Micro-scale and Equation-based Macro-scaleAbstractDiffusion is a crucial phenomenon in many fields of science and engineering, and it is known tobe difficult for students to learn and understand. Ideally, students should understand (1) themacro-level
