For questions where there is no chance of guessing, setting cj = 0yields the two-parameter logistic model (2PLM), whereas making the assumption that allquestions have the same aj yields the Rasch model (1PLM). Extensions to settings with multipleresponse options or where θ is multidimensional are available, but we will focus only on the caseof dichotomous responses reflecting a unidimensional underlying construct.If the question parameters are known, as is the case for a test composed of well-researched andvalidated items, then estimation of student ability level is a straightforward single variable

-expandedconstructs of false thinking and Bodenständigkeit or autochthony – sometimes calledgroundedness. These two constructs can be readily applied to the enterprise of engineeringeducation to better situate the engineer in the world and to discuss his place relative to his role insociety, his job, his colleagues, and related institutions. While there are many tools to evaluateengineering thinking and even emergent ones to evaluate divergent and creative thought, tools toevaluate the lack of thinking or thoughtlessness are not pervasive. Heidegger’s philosophyprovides reflections to better understand false thinking, grounded thought, and potentially aconstruct for delimiting thought or thoughtlessness – three constructs from which our moderntechnological

A critical evaluation three years laterevaluates the successes and revisions by the department. In an effort to improve the studentexperience, each subsequent camp reflects on lessons learned from previous camps, and thelatest camp is no different.In early years, additions included having practicing engineers participate in camp and integratingdifferent design tracks using a systems approach. In the most recent version of the camp, thestructure was modified significantly to accommodate additional students and provide anadditional field of interest.

Responsible dam engineerswould no doubt heed the ethical mandate for public safety, health and welfare, which mandatepresupposes the possible co-existence of dam and safe public. Any dam is projected as comingabout either through safe or unsafe engineering practices, and in a non-trivial sense this isprecisely how dams come to be. Yet, consider that both the safe and the unsafe dam exclude thefreely flowing river from reasonable existence.

Combined with the relatively weak power of ethics (includingsustainability) over personal and business interests,8 students may see sustainability as a noblebut vague and entirely unreachable state of affairs.Previous research studies in engineering education have highlighted the fact that students oftenbring into the classroom views of sustainability that reflect both the broad and confusingdefinitions of sustainability in national and global circles and a narrow view of what engineersare capable of impacting and desiring to contribute to improved sustainability practices
