and highly theoretical concepts. Theseconcepts, such as fugacity, can lend themselves to be difficult for not just students but alsoinstructors to conceptualize and explain1. This is due to the fact that many STEM (science,technology, engineering, and mathematics) concepts are not overtly or obviously visual or easy tomodel via experimentation, demonstrations, or traditional hands-on tools. Therefore, visualinstruction is key for all learners, not just those who have a proclivity for more visual modes ofinstruction. Studies have shown that a combination of images and text2,3 has improved students’retention of the information. Thus, an educational tool that incorporates visual elements is atechnique that can be used by instructors, especially

Engineering EducationThe term ‘wiki’ is a Hawaiian word meaning ‘quick’, but the term is used here to refer to aspecific type of website. The definition in this case, taken from Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org),is that a wiki is a website that allows visitors to add, remove, and edit content. It is frequentlyused as a collaborative technology for organizing information on websites. One of the mostcommonly cited examples is Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia whose entries can (normally) beedited by anyone using a modern browser such as Internet Explorer (from Microsoft), Firefox(from the Mozilla Foundation), or Opera (from Opera Software). Wikis are used forcollaborative or group projects for two main reasons: (1) they are easily modified (you do notneed

331 Conceptual Change and Understanding in Engineering Education Devlin Montfort, Shane Brown Washington State UniversityIntroductionIn the study of science, technology, engineering and mathematics education there is a tradition ofevidence showing that students – despite their abundant procedural knowledge andcomputational skills – lack understanding of fundamental physical phenomena. Students can beacademically successful without internalizing the meaning of the problems and calculations theycomplete. For example, after an introductory physics course most students will

engineering for long, with many of them entering theranks of management within a relatively few years, if not immediately. Yet, theengineering education that most get is generally lacking in any component that educatesthem in how to deal with management issues. Industry is often looking to hire engineersfor its supervisory and management ranks, primarily because the businesses they are in,such as manufacturing, utilities, and transportation, are technologically-based, and theyneed to have managers who understand enough about technology to learn and understandtheir specific businesses. While engineering graduates are the best suited for that, they donot have the education in business and management, particularly in communications andpeople skills

Universities, researchinstitutes, laboratories, scientists, faculty members and students have the most relevant place inthe Timoshenko’s autobiography As I Remember. In his narration, the Bolshevik Revolution,World War I, and the rise of Nazis in Germany are the context through which engineering andthe sciences go forward into a new technological era. Timoshenko also devotes many episodes toexplain his teaching and learning experiences and his vision about comparisons amongengineering curricula in different countries.

use theterm socio-technical systems.What James is describing implicitly, if not explicitly, is the way that conceptualizing engineeringsolutions in terms of socio-technical systems ideas requires one to adopt a critical perspective towards thetypes of knowledge claims that must be made in engineering work, and how they are justified. In fact, thesocio-technical systems idea is a compromise between a deterministic, techno-centric understanding ofhow technology shapes society and a critical re-orientation of these frameworks towards the socialconstruction of technology (Hughes, 2021). The socio-technical systems aspect of the course, asexperienced by the student, requires the participants in the course to move reflexively between the
