communication inside andoutside them [8]. These systems, also called Social Representations (SR), constitute the symbols ofcommon sense [9] and are embodied in the form of attitudes and information, creating a field ofrepresentation that a specific group shares about a social object. This object could be material (things andbeings) or immaterial (ideas, thoughts, concepts, etc.), meaning that the SR also involves the external andinternal realities. According to Moscovici [9], in SR, attitudes are the actions and intentions to action thatare manifested concerning a common topic. They are usually represented in the form of values, emotions,and behavioral reactions. Information is the level of knowledge that a group has about the social object.The field

Students use their own gas exchange respiration data tocalculate their rate of energy expenditure and mechanical efficiency during cycling. They usereaction stoichiometry to determine the quantities of fats and carbohydrates that are used asenergy sources. They apply energy balances to determine the rate of heat transfer throughrespiration, and compare this to the total energy expenditure. Finally, students create

As electrical engineering expanded, the need forall students to study all subjects within electrical engineering was debated. A feeling developedthat a large portion of the students would never need or use some of the more traditional material.It ceased to be relevant to the students' careers. Pressure was applied to cut some of these moremature topics.

For example, plants designed by chemical engineers or environmental engineersrequire data from laboratory-scale tests, and their design specifications are in turn used by civilengineers and power engineers, among others, to complete the project.
