, nothing concretewas accomplished.However, there is a growing body of research showing that the undesired consequences oftechnological and economic growth are undermining the desired ones. This brings us to acrossroads in engineering education. Either we continue to deal with the undesired consequencesof design and decision-making in an end-of-pipe fashion, or we do so preventively. The latterapproach requires a new knowledge system that links the disciplines examining theconsequences of technology with those in the technical core of the curriculum in order to createnegative feedback loops. Following a diagnostic assessment of the present situation, this paperwill describe some of the features of such a knowledge system and how it supports

An additional benefit to pair programming, as surmised by David Keirsey [13], is that group diversity brings aset of strengths that complement the weaknesses of any single group member. It also forces students to look at aproblem from viewpoints they might not otherwise see and improves upon the students’ understanding of theproblem [13], [9]. In our own research, we do not utilize pairs.

The student then usedthe Visual Looming Transform script to process the optical flow data by dividing phi and thetavalues for each pixel in every frame, extracting the background motion pattern. Deviations fromthis pattern indicated objects moving relative to the stationary background.Computed values were compared with ground-truth accelerometer data from the iPhone andsimulator to assess the accuracy of optical flow for motion detection and analysis.

communitycolleges need to be evaluated and assessed before changes are finalized. To facilitate this type ofcollaboration a process needs to be created to assist all institutions involved.For decades California has provided an impressive and effective community college pathway toengineering. As shown in Figure 3, approximately 33% of all UC and CSU engineeringgraduates in 2008 started their Bachelor’s degrees at a community college (individually, 23% ofUC and 41% of CSU graduates). The community college pathway therefore represents asizeable portion of the engineering pipeline in California. For many students, particularly thosefrom underrepresented groups, this pathway to engineering may be the only practical way forthem to access an engineering

traditionalengineering curricula, where creative solutions and innovation do not always positively affectacademic performance. Taylor et al. [19] found that while ADHD traits did not predict students’overall GPA, they negatively predicted students’ engineering GPA. Engineering GPA does notreflect creativity, so the strengths students with ADHD have are not reflected in exam scoreseither, further undermining the value ADHDers bring to engineering. The misalignment ofADHD traits and numerical academic assessment in engineering helps illustrate one way thatengineering is less hospitable to ADHDers.Fostering creative problem-solving in engineering curricula remains an important goal.Attracting and retaining neurodiverse engineering students and faculty, including

According to peak traffic data collectionfrom the Mid-Region Council of Governments, “Most of the analysis conducted by MRMPO hasfocused on the peak “one hour” of travel, the standard for traffic analysis. However, when traveldemand is analyzed over the common industry standard of just one hour, we might be missing anopportunity to assess the network’s capability to offer additional capacity over a longer timelimit, such as a “three-hour” peak period.”4.
