May be more aware of others’ assumptions than one’s own (or vice versa).By necessity the rubrics are written such that they can be applied to the broad range of topics thatfall under the FYS umbrella. Particularly relevant to the premise of the FYS Bridge course arethe rubrics that address establishing the background, exploring ambiguity, questioningassumptions, and identifying context, but applied to challenges in engineering, technology, andscience in society. With this in mind, the authors have selected tentatively the following topicsand readings for the course:The questions that science, engineering, and the humanities can answer… and those theycan’t.

It isinteresting that the latter two posters assumed the proposer(s) of the new language were LGBTQ(must be outsiders!), when in fact there was an organized response from the few out LGBTQIEEE members to alter the proposed wording before adoption of the proposed changes, as theproposed language was not truly inclusive of the LGBTQ community.Sexual orientation is private/doesn’t belong in the workplace: A slightly different (thoughrelated) boundary was drawn between professional and private spheres when frequentcommenter Luke Burgess (relation to Barry Burgess unknown) suggested that sexual

urges practitioners to avoid causing harm. 3Indeed, responsibility to hold an ideal paramount is substantively different from responsibility topromote the same ideal. For example, teachers, pilots, and doctors must all hold paramount thehealth and safety of the individuals in their charge, but among them only doctors must dedicatetheir work to the promotion of these individuals’ health and safety. The American MedicalAssociation’s (AMA) Code of Medical Ethics states that physicians are obliged to provide“competent medical care, with compassion and respect for human dignity and rights.”4 TheAmerican Bar Association’s (ABA) Model Rules of Professional Conduct urge lawyers tofunction as “representative[s] of clients, [officers] of the legal system

retention of the concept(s) taught.Neither Trevelyan or Carberry and Ohland discuss what preparation in pedagogy might beuseful in preparing students to teach although for some peer tutoring the students are givetraining and paid. It is argued here that substantial prior training may lead to more effectivelearning exchanges irrespective of whether it is undertaken as a tutor with one or twostudents, perhaps in a cooperative learning group, or as an instructor with a class of twentystudents.However, this brings into question the role that educational studies may have more generallyin engineering programmes.It is argued that students may benefit more if they have to teach an unfamiliar subject and thetraining may be linked to the preparation

Ipersonally use humor and self-deprecation to address many issues in a non-threatening manner,and so I know I have done so with these. The reality is that it depends on the context of thesituation related to these issues. In some situations, humor (and particularly sarcasm) hasworked quite well in making others aware of how these issues are being perceived by othersaround them
