Most tomographic methods useinvisible forms of radiation (e.g., x-rays or ultrasound) and therefore it is not very instructive tosee them in operation. The proposed setup
mechanical engineer needs to um be able to collaborate well with other people, that’s a very, very key aspect. Um, because, I learned a lot this quarter that great ideas don’t always come from one person… I think that’s one thing that a mechanical engineer really needs to be able to do well is work on a team. Another thing is you have to be able to think abstractly. You can’t always think along the lines of-, of, here is a set of rules or preconceptions and you have to stick to them. You have to be able to design and develop and improve on technology that has already been designed and developed and improved on by previous people… Once you get out of the design and, you know, creative thinking and
. For his second master's thesis, he focuses on identifying the individual and institutional factors that contribute to a "culture of disengagement" from the ethical dimension of engineering work among students in the engineering profession. His Ph.D. project is funded by the NSF and is concerned with promoting and improving engineering students' ethical behavior and sensitivity through on-campus student organizations. His academic interests include mental health, international development, human rights, and engineering ethics. Currently, his ambition is to work within an international organization such as UNESCO and to be an advocate for promoting science and technology as critical tools of sustainable development as

Althoughour program is open to all students on campus, the campus population has an overwhelmingnumber of engineers, and our honors enrollment reflects that preponderance. Students completethree required seminars and four extra-curricular components, reflecting multiple times in everyelement of the curriculum. Our program is grounded in the theory of self-authorship, asarticulated by Marcia Baxter Magolda, based on Robert Kegan’s theory of adult development[10-14].
