AC 2012-3445: CHANGING ENGINEERING ETHICS EDUCATION: UN-DERSTANDING ILL-STRUCTURED PROBLEMS THROUGH ARGUMENTVISUALIZATION IN COLLABORATIVE LEARNINGProf. Michael H.G. Hoffmann, Georgia Institute as Technology Michael H.G. Hoffmann’s research focuses on the question of how creativity, cognitive change, and learn- ing can be stimulated by constructing diagrammatic representations, and by experimenting with those representations. This idea has first been developed by Charles S. Peirce in his concept of ”diagrammatic reasoning.” Since 2004, he developed ”Logical Argument Mapping (LAM),” a method and diagrammatic system of representation that is supposed to stimulate critical thinking. LAM has been implemented in the

His roots in industry aided him in the development of curriculum for 3 new courses by aligning industry’s desired competencies for new grads with accreditation criteria and facility constraints. The result was applied education: practical learning activities and hands-on labs that prepared students for the real world and accelerated their time-to-competency once on the job.
