This will probably require extra initial effort, e.g., to createa unified web site that students will view as their own city. Furthermore, existing commercialsoftware is not designed to allow multiple professors joint management of website content.

We invite the engineering education scientific community to review our work and join us onthis important journey in the empirical discovery of knowledge. The tools in the toolkit employedby scientific discovery are many. The roles engineers will play in developing and using those toolsin both big scientific endeavors (such as LIGO’s observation of gravitational waves [21, 22]) andsmall science experiments (like those described here) will be diverse and significant.

One team thoughtfully considered how technology could beinappropriate, ruling out the use of drones for contactless delivery: Drones could potentially be intercepted or perceived by refugees as containing lethal equipment.

In a very common engineering practice ofheat treatment of metals (as one of the most commonly used materials, we will use steel as an example), the material isheated, depending on the engineering application criteria, to a variety of high temperatures. During the heating process,oscillation of the atoms, in the metal, increases. This is because of the accelerated motion of the electrons (Benham,Crawford &
