instructing courses in industrial management, financial management, computer technology, and environmental technology, as well as leading seminars in the uni- versity’s general education program. Prior to academia, Mr. Hilgarth was employed as as engineer in the aerospace industry in laboratory and flight test development, facilities management, and as a manager in quality assurance. He has contributed papers on management, ground-test laboratory and flight test facilities, and ethics to several technical and professional organizations. In education, he has served as a consultant and curriculum developer to the Ohio Board of Higher Education and the Ohio Department of Education. He holds an M.S. in engineering management

outstanding work ethic,• A high-touch approach, working closely with each student to achieve success,• A strong connection to employers who assist in setting the curriculum and in screening, educating, and evaluating the progress of the students, and• A close partnership with Mississippi PK-12 schools.Students attend class during normal business hours, five days a week, and participate in an activelearning environment. There is very little lecture, with most time spent on hands-on activities. Inaddition to technical content, students also receive guidance on professional development topicssuch as resume development, workplace communication, and interviewing skills. Service-basedlearning is a component of both academies with students giving back to

of engineering, science, or technology. What matters is the learningoutcome (aim).She identifies three learning aims for technological literacy that should be offered throughoutundergraduate education. They are; Teaching for Citizenship; Teaching for Living Skills andCompetencies: Teaching for Employment Competencies.Teaching for citizenship “would involve ethics, politics and philosophy and ways in whichtechnological developments can impinge upon and challenge our understanding of moralreasoning”. For example, advances in medicine are an ever present reminder of this effect.Among other matters they raise important questions about the right to die. Kielsen argues thatthese decisions are not to be left to technocrats alone but for the average

He graduated from Mercyhurst University earning a BA in Intelligence Studies and Psychology (2008). Additionally, he earned a MS in Software Engineering from Gannon University in 2013. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019Historical Mandate for the Open Source CommunityIntroductionMost think of the Open Source Community (OSC) as a venue to get free stuff, but a deepunderstanding is to know its attitude, its ethics, its purpose, and its sharp teeth. The OSC wasborn out of the hacker ethic which holds that the unfettered access to knowledge is a virtue of agood and free society

These goals are used as a framework throughout the discussion, but rather thandeconstruct engineering education to the SLEM framework this work focuses oncommonalities or intersections. We begin with a general note on such research and thenconsider a more recently published case study on “How College Works” [8]. In this study weassume that lecture-based styles of teaching closely reflect material that is in course texts andwhich may just as well learned through properly designed digital courses without the aid of ahuman tutor.How college affects students“How College Affects Students” is the title given to two books that have critically reviewedthe vast body of research on how college impacts on

practical domains such as engineering design. Limitations caused bythe bivalence principle (i.e., that truth-value of statements is a true-false binary) for example inscenarios where truth-values need to attain true, false, or indeterminate while conducting a three-valued logical calculus, has been a motivation, inter alia, to formalize multi-valued or probabilisticvarieties of logic.In this category we only mention one example which has a potential to offer an alternative perspec-tive for reasoning and decision making in design. Consider having a set of goals, specifications,constraints, priorities (financial, ethical, aesthetic, etc.), and statements (or formulae) encoding de-signers’ knowledge and degree of uncertainty. Next, suppose designers
