TheSEECS Faculty Satisfaction Assessment (see Appendix B) uses a subset of questions from theHERI survey. To emphasize the association between the personal statement and the facultymember‟s perspective on the value of the SEECS work to realize the personal value, an emphasisaspect is included in the assessment. Hence, a faculty member is not only asked whether thepersonal statement is important, but also whether the SEECS program is viewed as beingimportant relative to the statement. Essentially, if faculty members highly rate a value statementand if the

Some of its most popular interpretationsinclude [49]:(A) Feeling what someone else feels;(B) Caring about someone else;(C) Being emotionally affected by someone else’s emotions and experiences, though notnecessarily experiencing the same emotions;(D) Imagining oneself in another’s situation;(E) Imagining being another in that other’s situation;(F) Making inferences about another’s mental states;(G) Some combination of the processes described in (A)-(F); [49, p. 2].As mentioned earlier, [27] argued that in the execution of humanitarian engineering, a

Freire’s main works [12], [29], anengineer capable of GE must be an educator engineer, someone with empathy and critical sense,capable of dialoguing, and opened (and able) to learn with non-schooled people and from non-academic knowledge.Why exactly does GE demand an educator engineer? This leads to the second unanimity amongGE teams: the non-neutrality of technology. To address this point, we must acknowledge that, aspresented elsewhere [1]: a) every technical challenge can usually be addressed through differenttechnical solutions; b) each technical solution necessarily favors or emulates some (set of)ethical-political values over others; c) because of “a” and “b,” society and technology shape oneanother in a way that d) technical development and

Data from the pre- and post-surveycomparisons are described here. While, in general engineers had pretty optimistic and positiveimpressions about how their skills would relate to design challenges with elementary schoolchildren and their families, a number of items stand out as being enhanced by the participation inthe program. For instance, most engineers agreed that at the outset they were fairly effective atteaching difficult concepts to non-technical people (58%). However after their experience in thefamily

How are the characteristics of LTS faculty different from other engineering faculty? a. It is hypothesized that LTS faculty might be different than other engineering faculty, since differences have been found among the students who engage in LTS; for example, women might be over-represented among LTS faculty compared to engineering faculty overall. b. The demographic characteristics for LTS faculty were identified to answer research question 1. The characteristics for engineering faculty overall were taken

Community Model addressing High Altitude Water Shortage Issues in Peru.AbstractIn July 2018, a team of 8 students, a faculty member and a staff member from the University ofLouisville left for Calca, Peru to meet with indigenous, marginalized communities to support andassist them in their efforts to address water access issues and concerns.This project developed out a need to increase global opportunities at a four-year, mandatory co-op engineering program that offered few opportunities for global exposure. The result was thedevelopment of a semester-long annual course which culminates in a 16 day in-countryexperience. This program utilizes three partners: the indigenous communities, a local non-profitorganization called Andean Alliance (that
