as much as possible.What is important about this case is that the engineers involved recognized the dangers andactively took steps to reduce them. When we think about what engineers do, we usually envisionthem building or designing. But there are aspects of the job that often go unnoticed that areincredibly important to society. For the last decade, engineers involved with air bags could notsimply sit in a lab and research and design. They have had to stand before congressionalhearings, be interviewed by the media, find social solutions to technical problems, and some ofthem even had to face the rage of parents who’s children had been killed by air bags.

MentorshipMost importantly, evidence from the research on teacher scholarship shows that for professionaldevelopment to be effective, it must be an ongoing process that extends beyond the lifetime ofprofessional development workshops [25]. Instructors are best suited to succeed when theycultivate a community of practice that meets regularly to discuss resources, pedagogicalapproaches, and tools that teachers use to improve student outcomes. The philosophy of thefacilitators was that participation is most effective when participants complement others bybringing their wealth of individual experiences. At the intersection of those unique experienceslies the picture of the ideal educator. Participants were encouraged to learn from their peers andthe

. Instead of grading for total level of learning, wespent an exorbitant amount of time focused on trying to make sure we “nickel and dimed” everystudent equally, consistently assessing the same penalty for the same errors. In a sense, precisegrading became more important than measuring student learning. As a result, we missed theforest for the trees and were less prepared to adjust course topics and class lectures for theoverall goal of student learning. For even the best designed rubric cannot accurately reflectstudent learning without including instructor intuition.After a semester grading against a rubric, our instructor intuition and grading confidence quicklygrew.

When they originally baked cookies in the pilot kitchen, the instructor had planned for all the necessary raw materials of 1 batch of cookies to be in front of them (not measured). After that, the students had to think about the material requirements planning for baking approximately 1,200 cookies in a day. The instructor gave an approximation of some costs and her thought process, using the eggs needed for the recipe as an example.
