were mandated in engineering design andproblem solving.During the 1960’s, as a young engineer in graduate school, I saw many teaching mathematiciansdistrusted and disparaged graphs and visual techniques. Their conventional view was thatmathematical theorems could not be proved with pictures and so visualizations were dangerous.The fears of mathematicians, the constructions of Cantor and Dedekind, were rarely confrontedby engineering students who needed to become more familiar with continuous and smoothfunctions. I tried to rely on Russian books1, which were more likely to contain pictures and bedescriptive, to gain mathematical insight. I do not believe that my fellow math majorsconfronted the questions that were in my mind as an engineer. By

Engineering Education, 2018 Short-format workshops build skills and confidence for researchers to work with data.AbstractTraining for data skills is more critical now than ever before. For many researchers in industryand academic environments, a lack of training in data management, munging, analysis andvisualization could lead to a lack of funding to support sustainable projects. Today’s researchersare often learning ‘as they go’ and need the flexibility of short, or self-paced learningexperiences. Research results in educational pedagogy, however, stress the importance of guidedinstruction and learner-instructor interaction, which contrasts the need for ‘just in time’ training.We’ve taken a distinctive approach to this

Clean Energy Education and the Energy Transition AgendaAbstractAwareness of the effects of global warming has become mainstream and drives the need toreduce dependence on fossil fuels. The urgency to transition to clean energy (CE) sources isapparent. Growth in rapidly developing clean energy technologies and their manufacturingindustries drives increased demand for graduates trained in these areas. CE Education is theevolution of traditional disciplines to educate candidates to meet the demand for technicians tosupport the global energy transition away from fossil fuels.
