in a style that should be interesting and accessible tostudents and is not overly long. However, it is somewhat dated. The paper could form the basisfor in-class discussion or a written reflection if an instructor generated appropriate prompts.There are also more detailed case studies related to privacy that would be good vehicles forinstruction, including Google Street View [40, 41] and “optimizing schools” [42]. These cases donot explicitly discuss a human rights perspective, so this framing would need to be added by theinstructor.Right to Property – Article 17Article 17 relates to the right to own and not “be arbitrarily deprived of [ ] property” [1]. Thisrelates to civil engineering and the use of eminent domain for projects, which is of

The faculty team collaborating on this project decided to approach theteaching of the making process from a multidisciplinary perspective, using this very specializedproject based theme, of the bio-inspired robots. Some specific topics included in the workshopsare currently included in the courses they teach regularly, such as the “Bioinspired Robotics”course which is offered to undergraduate students in the Mechanical Engineering program, the“Introduction to Mechatronics” course which is offered to undergraduate students in Mechanicaland Electrical

The strength of such an approach is that it enables an analysis of socialphenomena beyond the abstract social structures (e.g. social, economic, political) traditionallystudied by researchers in the social and behavioral sciences (Wellman 1999).Ego-centered (or personal) networks make the individual the focus of attention where egodescribes people (alters) close to him or her (Boissevain 1974; Wellman & Berkowitz 1988).According to Wellman (1999), such investigations “enable researchers to study community ties,whoever with, wherever located, and however structured…and avoid the trap of looking

This frustration with perceived disorganization was alsoreflected in the survey comments from older students, including that of the 20-year old studentquoted above. They were more likely to find the active learning sessions, especially those whichdid not include problem-solving exercises, as “busy work” and unnecessary for their success inthe class and may reflect differences in motivational factors and preferred learning environmentsnoted by some researchers [32], [33]. The differences in gender are more puzzling and arecontrary to what has been reported in studies of active learning

Furthermore, creativitygenerates spaces where meaningful ideas impact society.To implement this approach, we relied on an evidence-based, active learning process thatintegrates techniques drawn from actor training, improvisation, and theatre of the oppressed[47]with creative problem-solving methods drawn from multiple, research-based

Those with an entity or fixed mindset believe that intelligence isunchangeable and are more likely to believe that poor performance is a result of a result oflacking intelligence [37].Stamm [38] shares that creating a climate in which this learner-centered model of highereducation is realized is not easy. The learner-centered classroom requires learner motivatedteaching is a paradigm shift from the traditional university practices.

PBL goes beyond the relationships between knowledge andthinking, helping students to both know and do. In fact, it is focuses on doing something andlearning on the way [8, 12-27]. PBL main features from the student learning point of view are:1. In PBL, a student-centered approach, the focus is on the student competencies to design and toreach the solution, around their concerns and skills, the end product being a reflection of them.  2.
