Through a series ofchallenging exercises (six in total), they are introduced to concurrent programming (POSIXthreads for Linux) that must be mapped to specific cores (e.g., with CPU core thread affinity) forAMP. Through work on these exercises, RMA is reinforced and emphasized with more and morechallenging requirements and constraints. The exercises include simple problems at first, withthe use of

toa design task. Kilgore et al.[12] refer to the consideration of global and societal implications ofengineering design as “breadth of problem-scoping,” and the “context” of engineering (p. 321).Their conceptualization of contextual competence focuses on broad thinking and problem-scoping activity, a critical part of the design process, in a specific engineering design task.While working through design tasks is one avenue to enhancing one’s contextual competence,research suggests that other activities also influence the development of student’s contextualcompetence. Through analyzing six institutions with exemplary engineering programs in a casestudy format, Lattuca et al. found that these campuses offer a variety of curricular experiences

disciplines and in various contexts.In terms of student learning and attitudes, we agreed that many bright students tend to “turn theirbrains off” when in the laboratory. Some students expect to be told (either through a protocol,teaching assistant or instructor) what each step should be rather than to solve problems forthemselves. Because of compartmentalization, students often make the same mistake repeatedly.We surmised that a reason for such an approach to laboratory coursework is the attitude that thepurpose of education is certification (grades, diploma) rather than acquisition of knowledge andskills. Without the ability to generalize, students see the required assignments of a course ashaving no meaning or relevance beyond those particular

As an anecdotal example, a professor at University of Notre Damedescribes teaching virtually during COVID-19 lockdown as follows: “I am continually repressing my lifelong, trained habit of uttering simultaneous encouragement through ‘continuers,’ those back-channel cues that encourage the speaker to go on.” [11]Group feedback including laughter, fatigue, visual engagement, head tilting, and auditory cues are nolonger accessible to teachers during COVID-19. This may have a serious negative impact on the ability ofteachers to adapt their teaching to the responses of the class.

Prior to World War 1, there was little to none in theprovision for veterans’ participation in higher education.

, it is exceedingly difficult to find a champion of this line ofargument: even philosophers seem to suggest by their silence that while philosophy might beimportant for engineering, they themselves as philosophers play no necessary role. MichaelDavis, in his well-cited 1998 Thinking Like an Engineer written from his perspective as a“trespassing” [22] philosopher, argues at least implicitly for this view position. “Philosophers,”he articulates in the introduction to his work, have long made themselves useful by pointing outthe obvious in fields not their own - which is all I intend to do” [23]. On these views, it is moreimportant that engineers come to identify, reason through, and resolve issues with their ownwork than it is to bring
