At its best, automatedranking could potentially enrich qualitative coding through suggesting subtle underlyingconnections to concepts, as well as enable combing through larger amounts of data.

socioeconomic differences mean thatmany students that enter STEM fields may begin their careers at a disadvantage. It could also bea source of discouragement for these students, leading to a lack of diversity in engineering andother STEM fields. While this is an alarming problem, past data has shown that doing exercisesand activities that require using visual spatial skills can develop and enhance these skills. [19]The most effective tools and methods for promoting visual spatial retention and measuring theimprovements have been a topic of concern. Martin-Dorta et al.

This translates to an average of about 1 h per week writing op-ed pieces, giving lecture to community groups, providing pro bono support to a civic group – essentially anything that brings you into contact with people who do not know the difference between an IC and GC [19].But this encouragement towards public engagement in 2018 seems to contradict a prior warningoffered in an editorial in September, 2016 entitled, “Crossing The Imaginary Line,” [20] inwhich Sedlak had previously shared

technicians, not thinkers. If engineers do engage critically inthinking about the broader context of engineering, it is late in their careers once their technicalexpertise and professional engineering identity has been secured. Such late-career faculty havetime to begin work on what is, functionally, a second specialization, but neglect to see it as such.And given this neglect, philosophers may tend to see the perspectives of these engineer-philosophers as Socrates viewed his interlocuters: as naïve though importantly informed byexperience. Thus, philosophers are a necessary condition for ethical engineering, since theirprimary specialization is in critical conceptual analysis and problem-identification, if not inethics specifically.
