What this means in the context of the use of a robotic surgery platformis that there are 2 levels of norms, norms related to how technology and technological artifacts areemployed, and norms related to how engineering practitioners should comport themselves towardsthose on whom the artifacts are employed.

The design, financial, and legal aspects were included.This course is unique in Germany where usually the education in this area is focused onconcrete technology. This is an on-site technology that is governed by parameters that differstrongly from industrialized production processes as they are used in steel manufacturing.With a decreasing number of civil engineering students and therefore of teaching staff in thisfield it becomes difficult to offer the wide variety of topics at all universities.

Moreover, the emergence of “big data” across many engineering disciplines has led to the need for training and education related to the collection,management, and analysis of “big data”. We develop an interdisciplinary, active learning module for First-Year Engineering (FYE) programs that combines content from civil, electrical, andcomputer engineering while also familiarizing students with “big data” science. In this learning module, students compare and contrast the challenges of gathering comprehensive and qualitytransportation data through advanced technologies and traditional approaches.
