Department of Education data.1 Design iscommonly thought of as the creation of a widget, such as a speaker system or an airplane engine,using certain design constraints. 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.).

nonlinear controllers. 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. Direct fuzzy control is analogous to direct nonlinear

possible, any relationship between students’ grades and their reported study habits.The first objective in the study reported on here was to determine “To what extent do students'self-reported study practices predict their academic performance, defined in terms of examgrades?”Second, although Bayesian statistics seems a promising candidate for such analysis, a vastmajority of education research relies on what is termed “frequentists statistics.” The use ofBayesian statistics in education research in general and STEM in particular is minimal (Konigand Schoot, 2017 [14]). Therefore, a second objective is to explore the use Bayesian statistics toanswer the first objective and, if seeming effective, providing the field a Bayesian framework forsuch

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.
