thefirst and last Monday nights of the semester were planned for orientation and presentations,respectively. Throughout the semester, students spent three hours each week on SE. Then, forone hour they would meet with their advisor to present the work they had completed, askquestions, and receive feedback. If time remained, they would plan the following week’s work.Unlike in the past, this meeting could occur any time during the week when all participants couldattend. This allowed instructors to have more direct oversight over their SE teams. Faculty werealso limited to no more than two teams at a time. These changes were not without concern. Twoof the initial “pillars” of the SE program were eliminated—the idea of overlapping student teamsand the

Retaining the original designs of this major project might have helped avert thesubsequent political deterioration that spiraled into warfare.A rural development project in Rwanda that started in 1974 is another example of a missedopportunity that turned out instead to exacerbate tensions. In this case, the benefits (includingstructures, roads, and land access) were largely captured by local Hutus, excluding Tutsis. Thefinal result was judged by one Africa scholar to be “a great increase in inequality betweenregions, social classes, groups and individuals.”In two examples from Thailand, irrigation projects were constructed (in the 1950s-1970s) to winpopulation loyalty in a

in Heidegger’s philosophy – and certainly thetechnological critique he has comes at a much needed time in our own community. Heidegger divides thought into two camps: meditative and calculative. Calculativethinking involves the sort of specialized thinking that involves planning, research, andorganizational abilities – always in reference to some known quantities or conditions. Of keyimportance to calculative thinking is the inability to stop expanding outward without meditativethought. The aforementioned quagmire of thoughtlessness, rationalization of thoughtlessness,distractions, and all related issues, directly map to meditative thought. Meditative thought inHeidegger’s world comes in multiple forms, for instance: active

Testing was also rated on a 1-5 scale, where 5 indicates that prototype verification testingis complete and 1 indicates that testing was not planned or discussed.

On large campuses, some Chapters have found success in providingSTEM-specific content as a supplement to the campus-level content for all majors. The secondapproach is to partner with other organization(s). This approach has extra benefits; it exposesASEE and its mission to the members of other organizations and it can provide extra assistancefor planning and execution.

It is critical that the current faculty communicate with the students about theconstraints facing a new program. For instance, the number of current faculty must match therequired teaching load based on the student population. Similarly, hiring faculty to oversee anddevelop one of the focus areas may not be necessary if there is little student interest or
