His interests also include Design and Engineering, the hu- man side of engineering, new ways of teaching engineering in particular Electromagnetism and other classes that are mathematically driven. His research and activities also include avenues to connect Prod- uct Design and Engineering Education in a synergetic way. In addition, he is active in high-speed systems engineering, and strong magnetic pulses as well as magneto-optical systems for fiber optics applications. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Addressing the differences between intention and retention in

perceived and I think very real discouragement that young engineering faculty receive from… traditional administrators that engineering research is in a laboratory and is traditional in the sense that it involves scientific equipment and established research protocol and again, laboratory based. And there is a kind of a discouragement to not allow this distraction, or it's even viewed as a distraction, engineering education research, as a young faculty member… I was told specifically not to allow, my teaching not to distract from my research nor my interest in the scholarship of teaching and learning to distract from my research.The interviewee’s reflection on his pre- and post-tenure experience illuminate several layers

The relative weight ofthe purposes of a university education wax and wane over time as society changes. In 1851publication of Newman’s [1] reflections on the aims of a university education emphasizedthat cultivation of the mind was most important with civic and economic benefits accruedindirectly. Improvement of the individual was the

fewer formulas a world violates, the more probable it is. Each formula has an associated weight that reflects how strong a constraint it is: the higher the weight, the greater the difference in log probability between a world that satisfies the formula and one that does not, other things being equal.”Given a set of statements (F ) and a set of weights associated with them (w) representing theimportance of each constraint, Markov Logic Network could evaluate multiple design alternatives,or test multiple values for each priority. Such an approach, potentially allows engineering designersto systematically adopt a more inclusive and reflective attitude by being conscious of the normative,and subjective aspects of

” attribute of the makermindset [1].A key element of making is the practice of design. Most makerspaces allow users to constructphysical models using computer-aided design and 3D printers to prototype artifacts. Inrelationship to the construction that takes place in maker spaces, most of the literature states thatmakerspaces facilitate activities constant with the constructivist or constructivism cognitiveframework of learning [2]–[6]. Essentially, “Making as a pedagogy reflects theories ofconstructionism [7].”Making involves many different activities including learning, yet the nature of that learningbeyond constructivism is not fully agreed upon in the literature. Traditional makerspaces are sitesof informal learning [2], [3], [7], [8]. Making

date, the use of assignments and the assessment of learning has been tied to thespecific courses.Sources for suitable TEL stories are widely available. In reading accounts of engineers and theirwork, the author has encountered suitable passages in abundance; it has been more of an issue tokeep track of useful passages and to prepare the assignment.While repeated use in more than one course is appropriate and may even be desirable, thecollection needs to be much larger to avoid undue repetition. The collection of prepared storesand of materials for creating more reflect the author’s interests and biases.

The paper could form the basisfor in-class discussion or a written reflection if an instructor generated appropriate prompts.There are also more detailed case studies related to privacy that would be good vehicles forinstruction, including Google Street View [40, 41] and “optimizing schools” [42]. These cases donot explicitly discuss a human rights perspective, so this framing would need to be added by theinstructor.Right to Property – Article 17Article 17 relates to the right to own and not “be arbitrarily deprived of [ ] property” [1].

‘Technique’. Ball equated engineering design with Bloom’s synthesis. The workingparty also found that the sub-abilities did not necessarily apply to the category they had beendesignated when attempts were made to utilize Bloom. To be fair, the authors of the Taxonomyunderstood that their categories would not fit every subject. Moreover, when considered from theperspective of the process of engineering they were not hierarchically ordered.Eventually the working party took the view that for each major component or domain objectiveof the examination a particular type of assessment would be necessary. Because the examinationincorporated a number of different objectives it was originally called a multiple objectiveexamination. This also reflected the

disastrous results and stated that a small elite group of people with special intellectualabilities are the only ones that should be trusted with knowledge. “I do not, however, think the attempt to tell mankind of these matters a good thing except in the case of some few who are capable of discovering the truth for themselves with a little guidance. In the case of the rest to do so would excite in some in a thoroughly offensive fashion, in others certain lofty and vain hopes as if they had acquired some awesome lore.” Plato Letter VII, 341d- 342aPlato’s assertions here reflect the supercilious attitude as he seems to indicate that “the commonperson cannot assimilate sensational information without fear or being given to
