Steyn, engineering education cannot be solely based on memorization andtechnical calculation. It is imperative that the engineering students develop critical thinking skillsfor better understanding and reasoning of problems they may face professionally in the future.Critical thinking is the process of conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/orevaluating information obtained by observation, experience, reflection, reasoning

Engineering Education, 2019 A Unified and Collaborative Approach to Risk Classification for Fabrication and Library SpacesAbstractThis paper describes an effort to redesign risk assessment for tools and equipment across ourcampus. Existing classification schemas for assessing tool risk and safety are often restrictiveand intimidating. The previous risk classification framework at Olin College did not address theaddition of fabrication capabilities in learning spaces outside of the original machine shop,including the library, research labs, and studio classrooms. Furthermore, the old system waslimited to manufacturing equipment located in the machine shop and did not addressnon-powered tools. As a result of these
