Very similar approaches can be found in the“Report of the Future Ready Engineering Ecosystem (FREE)” [5: p.3-2], which was presentedby the ASEE in 2024. With reference to Schwab and Davis, they mention the following keyprinciples: “1) Focus on systems that deliver human well-being, not just on technologies; 2)Manage technologies with diverse human decision-making and agency, instead of giving in toa determinist view of technology; 3) Employ human-centered design thinking, not passive ac-ceptance of technology as the default; and 4) Recognize values as a core feature, instead ofperceiving technology as neutral and values as interference.” It is therefore about responsibleaction

Three librarians from DiSC worked with this group to teach them how to identify and extract data from NOAA. There were other geographic aspects of this project that required the use of GIS software to filter by zip code. At this point, DAEN students were not learning about GIS. Use of American Community Survey (ACS) API to extract data to build a model. o In this case the group was concerned that there was something wrong with their data extraction because the data were not being continually

Therelationship between the level of funded research and PhD production is the same for theefficient and less efficient programs. There is a marked difference between the efficient set andothers in the relationship between BS and MS production and funded research.
