Whilechallenging the instructor for quick turn around on grading the laboratory reports, it affords anopportunity to provide students with a quality feedback which they are able then to incorporateinto the second-week work improving their overall grade and learning outcomes. Reduced dataprocessing also allows assigning small research subprojects to be included in the reports.Due to the explosive nature of combustion, safety is a paramount concern.

,” Paul Witty has expressed that “Gifted children organize their play in complex patters leading to remote goals.” The same is true if you replace “gifted children” by “research and development people,” and “play” by “work.”Steven Chu, 1997 Nobel Laureate in Physics and currently the U.S. Secretary of Energy,describes a similar atmosphere at Bell Labs when he worked there during the 1970s and’80s [5]: When most people think of industrial labs they think of, “Oh, you’re making better widgets. You’re making something that’s going to be good for the phone system.” Now, ultimately, that’s true. But at Bell Labs in that time—this is in 1978—allowed a small fraction of us—fifty, sixty, eighty—to do
through the majority of their courses without a second thought about the inherent relationof technology and culture.Finally, another approach emerged from the convergence of parallel movements in the 1950’s.A group of historians began to recognize a significant absence of research and scholarship in thearea of technology as a culture forming activity. At the same time, engineering educators wererecognizing the importance of the study of the history of technology in the engineeringcurriculum. As Bruce Seely describes, it was this partial convergence of engineers and historiansthat spawned not only the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) but also a number ofuniversity courses in the history of technology for engineers5.
