oppressive norm of engineering firms prioritizing various indicators of success, such as money, innovation, and environmental impact, over the wellness of marginalized communities. To address this, this student is actively involved in a project on how indicators of the social impact of this company's operations could be added to the sustainability report. Secondly, the student also discusses a norm of dehumanizing or prejudiced discoursea bout the members of these communities. While she expresses motivation to address this issue, she acknowledges uncertainty about changing her coworkers' prejudiced perspectives. Despite her confusion in addressing this oppressive norm, she aligns with the principles of

Transforming a Microprocessors Course through the Progressive Learning Platform Sohum Sohoni, David Fritz, Wira Mulia Oklahoma State UniversityAbstractThis paper describes an innovative learning platform called the Progressive Learning Platform(PLP), and its use in an introductory microprocessors course. The discussion covers the overalltransformation of the course from the examination and modification of existing course objectivesor Be-Able-To‟s (BATS), to the development of laboratories and other curricular materials for ahighly collaborative active-learning approach. Decisions made by the instructors during thisprocess, and the reasons behind

I'm glad to communicate with WCU students. - WCU students are very kind to us. I could talk with them freely. - Japanese students tend to not have enough opportunities to talk with foreign people in their daily lives. So this Hiroshima University - WCU event became very good opportunity to talk with people from different cultural background and enjoy having communication. - It was a good opportunity to talk with foreign people - I had assumed that

might look like. In §2, I outline the scenario-based teaching approachdeveloped by Anthony Weston, a philosophy educator well-known for his innovative lessonplans. A more specific method emerges by considering Thi Nguyen’s philosophical theory ofgames, which he describes as an art form which works on human agency; in §3, I presentNguyen’s account and use it to extend Weston’s approach. In §4, I illustrate the approach bypresenting an actual lesson that I used in a seminar course on engineered living materials.Teaching materials from this class session are included in the Appendix. §5 concludes.2.

creativity and originality and prefer ahands-on learning environment. Felder, et. al. (2002) have argued that thinker-type students usually do better inrelatively impersonal engineering environment, while feeler-type students are more likely to drop out ofengineering majors because they tend to value more socially important works. Intuitor-type students prefercreative and innovative works more than sensor-type students to, and the “intuitors” also tend to obtain higherGPA than those “sensors” in engineering schools. These results have revealed that we need to change thetraditional engineering teaching methodology in order to retain students with disadvantaged learning styles inthe current learning environment.2.2.3.
