Theseauthors used military technologies registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Officeto anchor empirical analysis, and they used patent renewal decisions as a proxy for technologyvalue. Military patents that remained in force until their termination date were considered mostvaluable, and dual-use indicators positively correlated with renewal probability. A key conclusionthat informs the current study is that technology with utilizability in both military and civiliansectors enhances technology value.Khorram-Manesh et al. investigated CMC in the context of civilian and military joint responses tothe COVID-19 pandemic.

This paper examines in-class-use cases involving three teachers of diversebackgrounds who participated in our project; the goal of which is to answer the followingquestions: 1) How did our tool change the way the way the teacher engages with studentthinking? 2) How did our technology support the teacher as he interacted with student ideas?3) What are the factors that enable the teacher to or prevent him from capitalizing onopportunities afforded by the tool to probe student reasoning? 4) How does this engagement, aswell as other aspects, affect the student discussions that result from using the tool? In so doing,we hope to inform future

necessary in the information world in which we currentlyoperate. Awareness of GIS capabilities in the University arena has spawned a dramatic demandfor spatially referenced materials in digital or electronic format to support managementdecisions, resource management, and research activities. No longer confined to engineering andthe social sciences, many other disciplines are now using GIS in all forms where geographicallyreferenced data is used. The Penn State Wilkes-Barre campus library is slowly emerging as thelogical provider and facilitator for the use of GIS technology across campus. The libraryoccupies both a central and neutral position on campus, and by design, serves all disciplines inlike manner. Engineering programs, with Land Surveying
microblogging in higher education has argued thatits application can lead to several benefits. The main benefits that have emerged from a review ofliterature are community building, student collaboration, informal learning, and studentengagement. These benefits have been documented to various extents with evidence fromcourses in different disciplines, taught at universities all around the world. Of the four identifiedbenefits of microblogging, student engagement is supported by relatively less evidence than theother ones. This paper attempts to address this gap in existing research by exploring the use ofmicroblogging to increase student comfort with participation in the large lecture classroom.Other efforts to integrate technology in the classroom in
Users of AI may not develop or use skills in digital literacy, critical thinking, or writing Workforce supporting AI may not be recognized or treated fairly (e.g., “ghost workers”) Autonomous AI may make decisions that violate “reasonable person” standards Environmental impacts of AI infrastructureAI in civil engineering can be evaluated by students using the ASCE Code of Ethics [28]. Forexample, Section 1.h instructs civil engineers to “consider the capabilities, limitations, andimplications of current and emerging technologies when part of their work,” which would beimportant when using AI since there are potential inaccuracies and limitations since the originsof information cannot always be traced.

questions guide thiswork: ● How does the WaterSoftHack program enhance data science competencies within water science contexts? ● What challenges and opportunities do participants encounter as they integrate data science into their professional practices?By addressing these questions, our objectives are to evaluate the program’s effectiveness,identify areas for improvement, and contribute actionable insights to the field of data scienceeducation. The findings aim to inform iterative enhancements within the WaterSoftHackinitiative and similar interdisciplinary educational programs, ensuring a sustained impact onparticipants' skills and broader educational practices.Literature ReviewData Science Education in Interdisciplinary

Mapping Systems (MMS) [1]With the recent update on world urbanization prospects [2] indicating that 55% of the globalpopulation resides in urban areas - a figure projected to reach 68% by 2050 - detailed spatialinformation becomes imperative for managing urban development. This necessity aligns with theconcept of smart cities, encompassing diverse definitions but ultimately referring to citiesequipped with intelligent services, extensive structural knowledge, and sustainability [3].MMS emerges as a valuable tool for acquiring spatial data within urban landscapes. Comprisinga set of sensors, these systems can collect data that represents 3D information from various urbanfeatures such as road signs, buildings, and facilities, as presented in

creator and creation does not provide an explanation for the view thattechnology itself is neutral, that morality is only apparent with use: a pen, for example, can beused for good (writing) or evil (a weapon). According to this argument, the artifact itself has noinherent value, and morality only emerges with use.In the 1960s, University of Toronto professor and media theorist Marshall McLuhan wrote agreat deal about the interaction of media and humans. For McLuhan, a “medium” is anything thattransmits information; a light bulb, for example, is a medium that transmits information in theform of light. “Media” and “technology” are synonymous.2McLuhan provides a convincing theoretical counter to the separation argument: all media, hedeclares, are

outcomes-based education has confronted faculty, degree programs, andcolleges of engineering with four tensions: 1) The tension between defining an outcome so that it is specific and actionable compared to the extent the outcome broadly informs you about things you actually care about. 2) The tension between the need to define graduates’ capabilities by outcomes defined in ways that can be measured and achieved while supporting a process and environment that influences students to develop ways of being in the world which are complex and emergent and thus cannot be captured by pre-defined outcomes. 3) The tension between necessity and contingency. The assumptions of defining measurable outcomes is

In short, ‘‘E-manufacturing is a system methodology that enables themanufacturing operations to successfully integrate with the functional objectives of an enterprisethrough the use of Internet, tether-free (wireless, web, etc.) and predictive technologies10, 11’’.Other characteristics may include emergence, intelligence, non-deterministic, complexity, andself-organization in the enterprise system12.
