Economic Forum published a report on how workforce dynamics will changeover the next five years, including what skillsets will be most important for employees to have. 1Table 1 below illustrates this change by comparing the current top three skills, identified in a2015 survey, with research-supported predictions for 2020. While complex problem solving willremain a necessary skill, critical or systems thinking and creativity will both become more andmore important in solving complex system problems. As new technologies transform industries,these skills will enable the mental flexibility needed to interact with increasingly complexsystems. Table 1: Top Three Skills for Employees1 In 2015

Thereseems no place for questioning the designer’s bias or prejudice. Is the designer open-minded?Nor does it seem possible to ask the following question—am I all right with going forward orcan I state that I cannot do this kind of work anymore. Lastly the question of impact on the Earthand all that entails seems vague at best, at least from my perspective.A recent conference on climate change cautioned against overuse of generalizations about tribesbut acknowledged common issues and priorities.2 Two characteristics fundamental to indigenouspeople grow out of their place-based values: their close relationship with

Some of these exerciseshave a basis in a previous project by Gerald Recktenwald and Robert Edwards (Engineering ofEveryday Things (EET))1 which had a focus on laboratory exercises.

Many students find that searching for a job aftergraduation can be daunting, and they lack the experience necessary for hiring.

The first part of a lesson elicits students’ generative engagement around some provocative task or situation (or, perhaps, by discovering its spontaneous emergence). From there, the teacher’s role is to support that engagement and attend to it — watch and listen to the students’ thinking, form a sense of what they are doing, and in this way identify productive beginnings of scientific thinking.” (p. 55)There are several proposed
