HermeneuticHeuristics for Processing of Random Data,” the paper includes so many absurd aspects that it isobvious that the journal simply published it without review and, perhaps, without even reading it.The authors cite for authoritative support the Disney character Goofy’s publication in MikijevZabavnik, a children’s comic book;39 rock star Michael Jackson and porno star Ron Jeremy; “thenoted Kazakh polymath B. Sagdiyev,” more familiar to moviegoers as Borat; and a number ofdeceased luminaries, including German thinker Max Weber, Swiss scientist Jacob Bernoulli, andFrench mathematician Pierre-Simon LaPlace. The “new studies” conducted in 2012 and 2013 bythe latter two figure prominently in the piece.40The genesis of the prank was a concern with a strict

,discoveries, and products is crucial for ethical practice. It contends that listening canfacilitate transformational engagement between engineers and the public by a)challenging stereotypes on both sides, b) foregrounding the technical and ethicalrelevance of diverse knowledges, c) exposing relationships of structural inequality thatprivilege technical expertise, and d) replacing such relationships with partnerships oftrust that generate meaningful and effective solutions.Transformational listening lies at the heart of a graduate engineering ethics course atVirginia Tech and future online teaching modules, funded by the National ScienceFoundation (NSF). The goal is for students to experience the cognitive leap thatethnographic research methods can

The formative assessment of the expertwitness role play approach appears promising, but it did not capture learning outcomes orcomparisons with other approaches to teaching engineering education. Creative professorsshould be able to adopt this technique to teach engineering ethics within a realistic, engaging,and involving way.Bibliography1. Brummel, B. J., Gunsalus, C. K., Anderson, K.

Hence, the two populations were found to differ significantly in the length of the longestcopied strings, with the master’s students copying longer verbatim strings on average than thedoctoral students. b) Percentage of Verbatim Hits (/30)Figure 3 displays the
