It must also be noted this finding is in the context of urban American Indianstudents, not students living in Native Nations.Bradly (1987) conducted work in the same realm of culture-based education for NativeAmerican students by investigating the use of culture in teaching mathematics. This workintroduced the idea of “identity accomplishment confusion,” where culture compromises thelearning of fundamental skills. Although this report provides examples of how teaching methods(e.g., peer learning) have had positive results in teaching fundamental mathematics amongNative American students, it concedes that culturally infused methods have not been evaluated.This study also acknowledges Native Americans cannot and should not be

However, design can also encompass a process to achieve adesirable end result. Process engineering is widely utilized in manufacturing and chemicalengineering.2,3 In many instances designing how to make something is more challenging thanthe original design of the component. For example, in the pharmaceutical industry attainingstability in synthesized molecules is an immense challenge.4 A more common example, inmanufacturing, is how to make a machine component economically, since in most cases severalprocesses are possible (machining, casting, etc.).

Fuzzy controllers work differently than conventionalcontrollers; expert knowledge is used instead of differential equations to describe a system.This knowledge can be expressed in a very natural way using linguistic variables, which aredescribed by fuzzy sets. Fuzzy Logic has been used primarily on large-scale computingsystems and personal computers. The technology involved in intelligent and fuzzy systems isof such a fundamental nature that in 21 century it will be standard knowledge for all engineersand scientists. Overall, in comparing fuzzy to conventional control, it is interesting to note thatthere are conventional control schemes that are analogous to fuzzy ones:1.

Without commonly heldphilosophy and belief systems, society must use various governmental problem solvingmechanisms for consensus development. Values are not necessarily right or wrong.Achieving a consensus requires identifying and balancing values of the group. The growing environmental and societal concern about engineered productscreates a compelling need to consider these factors in the design phase. Direct andindirect impacts of modern technology on environment and human society and qualityof natural resources likewise creates compelling need
