How can we remove these? 5(b) Peer-Reviewed PapersThe Conference organizers had asked that papers be submitted under five general themes. Twohundred eight (208) papers were received, with the majority coming from the U.S., with India,Colombia, and Ecuador being second, third and fourth. The themes and the number of papersreceived under each are:1. How do we teach/learn about Peace Engineering? - 432. Relationships among academia, industry, governments

thinking and depth in student reasoning.Theoretical FrameworkIn this study, we used the legitimation code theory and more specifically semantic gravity andsemantic density, to explore abstract knowledge across specifications in the design problem, andthe relational levels among different concepts or ideas. The Legitimation Code theory (LCT) hasbeen used to support knowledge-building by enabling dialogue between theory and data or to relatetheory and practice [6]. Used in many disciplines such as biology, physics, nursing, English,cultural studies, music, and design, LCT connotes five principles that explain disciplinarydispositions, practices, and discourse: a) autonomy; b) density; c) specialization; d) semantics; ande) temporality.
