inclusion.In a paper he says: “There are several other reasons why we got into engineering. One of them was the absence of what I describe here as ‘social engineering,’ where the professor/instructor is interested not so much in solving technical problems as in setting the world right—in his or her opinion. A second and related reason is that engineering (and the sciences generally) should be, like the scales of justice, blind. Engineering does not care about your color, sexual orientation, or your other personal and private attributes. All it takes to succeed is to do the work well.”He goes on to criticize the work of Dr. Donna Riley, head of Purdue’s School of EngineeringEducation, stating: “An excellent example is the establishment at Purdue

For example, theywrote down the classroom content related to a specific class on a sheet of paper during a poweroutage to avoid students skipping the class due to lack of electricity. Both in Kakuma and Azraq,there were a significant number of moments that reinforce the local instructors’ commitment andempowerment. For example, as one facilitator in Kakuma noted, ‘I tell the new student if youwant your problems to be small get this course because this course makes your problem smaller.’The same sense of ownership was perceived in Azraq.
