first-yearengineering course calls for students to develop a logical problem solving process whichincludes sequential structures, conditional structures, and repetition structures for fundamentalengineering problems; translate a written problem statement into a mathematical model; solvefundamental engineering problems using computer tools; and work effectively and ethically as amember of a technical team. One approach to having first-year students solve open-endedproblems is through team-oriented tasks called Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs). These tasksare based upon the models and modeling perspective put forth by Lesh and Doerr7 and aredeveloped using six design principles8-9.

The case study shows therelationship between technical concepts and their social and ethical impact, limitationsdue to resource availability, and inter-personal conflicts.Learning the relevant concepts and their relationship to the problem is done in threesteps. Each step uses different techniques depending on the level of learning (fromBloom’s Taxonomy) that is being addressed.Step 4a: Shallow levels of learning—remember and (for upperclassmen) understand—can, and should, be mastered independently. Students are given a reading assignmentthat covers one or two specific concepts prior to each class period. Faculty usetechniques that help students learn material independently such as Just in

across settings 9. In engineering education, such authenticcontexts have been developed through “problem based” and “project based” activities 10. Amongthe advantages of such approaches are that students have greater opportunity to be mentored andpractice aspects of engineering for development that are often missed in the “core curriculum” oftraditional engineering education. Specifically, through “project based” engineering education,students work to: - formulate and solve ill-defined problems under complex conditions; - understand professional and ethical responsibilities associated with these complex conditions; - communicate with other engineers and with non-engineering professionals and the general public; and

sure thateverybody finds a thing, but rather about making it accessible and easy to use and remix andshare once it's found. Radical transparency is not a magic bullet -- it's not an "if you build it, theywill come" route to millions of readers. But it is a way to give the readers you get an opportunityand a choice to engage more deeply with a work on their own terms. What surprised me was how foreign (and consequently scary due to being an unknown)transparency was to so many people in academia. The mode of sharing that I'd taken for grantedin the open source context was much more constrained by data privacy concerns in the scholarlyrealm. There are good reasons for this; ethics are vital, and sometimes preserving privacy is theright
