 * Olin - paid yr 1 to develop curriculum, first graduating class http://www.olin.edu/about_olin/default.aspx The college officially opened in Fall 2002 to its inaugural freshman class. During the prior year, thirty student "partners" worked with Olin's world-class faculty to create and test an innovative curriculum that infused a rigorous engineering education with business and entrepreneurship as well as the arts, humanities and social sciences. They developed a hands-on, interdisciplinary approach that better reflects actual engineering practice. State-of-the-art facilities matched with first-rate students, nationally renowned professors and unbridled enthusiasm have made Olin an exciting whirlwind of activity and excellence. http://www.olin.edu/about_olin/history/olin_history.aspx Students 346 enrolled 55% male / 45% female http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/olin-college-39463

 * Scientific Method versus Engineering Design – though students are taught the scientific method, they learn rather less of the methodology of the other half of STEM – engineering and design. This video suggests [http://www.cata.ca/Media_and_Events/Press_Releases/cata_pr02211201.html “a new way to introduce engineering into the K-12 curriculum by exploring the distinctions between science and engineering; between the natural world and the designed world; and between the scientific method and the engineering design process.” ... ‘An engineer starts in an entirely different place. An engineer starts with a societal need. Absent a societal need, an engineer has nothing to do.’ A scientist, on the other hand, can live in the natural world, exploring, without being expected to create new systems or solve societal needs.” Interesting. A useful distinction. video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jPJt-q83k0

from 10 ways to think like a mathematician - not all the points are an exact fit but there are a number of "transferable" skills that are essential in both mathematics and applied science


 * questions everything
 * write in sentences - the building blocks of arguments, promotes real understanding, logical thinking
 * what about the converse - not necessarily true
 * use the contrapositive - two trues, but what about two not-trues
 * consider extreme examples - real but unusual, approaching limits
 * create your own examples
 * where are the assumptions used? - are they necessary limitations
 * start with the complicated side - simplify, look for smaller assemblies, components
 * ask "what happens if..." - more complexity, increase knowledge and understanding
 * communicate - explaining your work forces you to think clearly. learn from others - find mistakes, make suggestions

Four principles of How to Solve It suggests the following steps when solving a mathematical problem:


 * 1) First, you have to understand the problem. - identify the problem, explore
 * 2) After understanding, then make a plan. - design
 * 3) Carry out the plan. - create, try it out
 * 4) Look back on your work. How could it be better? - make it better

If this technique fails, Pólya advises: "If you can't solve a problem, then there is an easier problem you can solve: find it." Or: "If you cannot solve the proposed problem, try to solve first some related problem. Could you imagine a more accessible related problem?"

Use activity: Your client wants to use their widget at 2800 meters above sea level. What modification do you need to make to the widget? 1. Transmogrify it 2. Redorbinate it 3. Neoplyordinize it 4. No modification needed The “use” activity tests whether the learner can apply their knowledge of transmogrification in a realistic situation, not in an abstract definition activity. At the same time, it answers three “know” questions for us. It tells us whether the learner knows that: * 2800 meters is officially “high altitude” * You need to modify widgets for high altitudes * The necessary modification is called “transmogrification”

== Design thinking ==

Design thinking - from a “beginner’s mind”—the Zen ideal of approaching old problems with a fresh, almost childlike disposition. Too many of us ride into town already 99 percent sure that we’ve got the answers, when in fact, we don’t yet even know what the real problems are. Design thinking requires stepping back, slowing down, witnessing, asking, and becoming more and more comfortable with not knowing. And it’s being adopted by a wide range of practioners—military officers, educators, scientists and more. http://dowser.org/nine-with-your-help-insights-from-opportunity-collaboration/#more-16575

The Seven Challenges course workbook introduces students to some of the most important processes in interpersonal communication, supported by readings, references and exercises. This is definitely a learn-how-to-do-it course, with the supporting materials arranged to facilitate behavior change and skill acquisition. Processes covered include listening, negotiating the shape of conversations (metacommunication), self-expression, translating complaints into requests, asking questions more open-endedly and creatively, expressing appreciation, and adopting the attitude and practice of continuous learning (embracing each conversation as an opportunity to further develop one's communication skills).

There are many different kinds of Engineering projects and jobs. Link to a site that provides interesting information about Engineering and describe why you selected this site.


 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering - smile Simple answer, Wikipedia Engineering website gives all the history about Engineering, what people do in it, what the purpose of Engineering is, etc.


 * http://www.burjdubai.com/ - The Burj Dubai when completed will be the tallest building in the world. This amazing destination is also the home of 'The World'. Man made islands shaped like the continents of the world and also the 'Palm Island'. I find that the engineering of such massive projects like these are just amazing and sometimes unimaginable, but it seems anything is possible in Dubai. When completed the Burj Dubai will stand at 2,684 ft (reported) making it the tallest building in the world.


 * http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091202/ap_on_bi_ge/ml_dubai_tallest_tower Unfortunately with the economy the way it is some people are saying that this building may be the last of over the top building for awhile. Either way, it was fun while it lasted and I'm sure we'll see more marvels of this magnitude in the future.


 * http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_engineering.shtml This site is very good because it describes in depth the engineering process. This is very good practical information and it provides a good basis as to what is engineering, and what it is used for. Check it out!


 * http://engineering.ucdavis.edu/pages/future_students/undergraduates/index.html This site provides a list of the various engineering fields prospective students can choose to go into. Clicking on each of the major gives a description of what students will be doing once they graduate. Engineers go on to do different work, depending on their jobs. For example, the work a Civil Engineer does is not the same as an Electrical Engineer. I chose this site because it provides a good overview of what the various fields of engineering are and because the school has a pretty good program.


 * http://www.eng.buffalo.edu/ue/cus/ugdo/csvce/ discusses the difference between computer science and engineering, a small but vital difference.


 * http://www.discoverengineering.org/ I selected this website because it's so interesting to look at it and explore about Engineering. It has some interesting points of view that were useful for me to read. The site has a great and attractive design as well!


 * http://www.engineersalary.com/overpaid.asp This page talks about wages in different occupations,professions and inconsistencies about whysome people earn much more than others, to reach the point of asking if the engineers are being overpaid. If you want to know how much earn our President, a CEO, or you want to know what are the 10 most overpaid jobs in the country, you should check this page because there you will find all these and many other professions.


 * http://www.science-bookmarks.com/2009/04/worlds-most-expensive-engineering.html The blog that ranked world's five most expensive engineering project broaden my horizon on infrastructures . Expensive project often trigger controversial discussions on the impact of local environment, economics and social loss, which can be read from the readers' feedback and comments. The Yucca Mountain Nuclear Respiratory Project is one of the tendencious issue because it threatens the public safety.

It is usefull to find so much informantion in one place.


 * http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2181/different_types_of_engineering_which.html?cat=31 I picked this site because it briefly describes types of engineering and how they differ. It also has videos that are related to engineering and what they do. There are also options and links you can click on to learn more about engineering. I also chose this website because it has attractiveness to it and organization.


 * http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm I selected this site because I think is a good site to look at if you want to become an engineer or just get information about what they do. In this site you can find many information about engineers like how much they get paid, how their work environment is, how many jobs are there available and many more things.

 * women generally need to understand the context of an idea and to have a thorough explanation. Adequate explanation and contex-tual description is an important way to improve instruction for a number of students.


 * Some students will need to have a higher degree of explanation and contact with the teacher. However, all students would benefit from more attention to expla-nation and context from any teacher.


 * students should be encouraged to share their own knowledge and expertise. Include women and all students in the educational discourse, providing them with a voice in order to strengthen students' involvement and understanding of the subject matter

women's ways of knowing

distribution by gender of myers briggs type

create an alternate theory and scientific methodology based upon the differences of women. The purpose of this is not to destroy science, but to continue the evolution of science (Fox Keller, 1985; Fee, 1986; Rose, 1986).

change in the view of science has been detailed by Fox Keller (1986)

benefited from feminist conceptions of theory and paying attention to women�s ways of knowing has been the work of primatologists as outlined by Reed (1978), Haraway (1986; 1989), and Hrdy (1986) and as given notoriety by the work of Dian Fossey with mountain gorillas.

particular differences in the way in which women experienced knowing. Their perspectives were: silence, a condition in which women did not speak out; received knowledge, listening to the voices of others; subjective knowledge, listening to the inner voice and a quest for one�s own identity; procedural knowledge, looking for reason and becoming aware of separate and connected knowledge; and constructed knowledge, integrating the voices of all with respect to context. Perry, 1970; Belenky et al., 1986).

final position of constructed knowledge which involves paying close attention to context, wanting to know and to represent the knowledge of others in order to inform thinking, is not as well represented either in Perry�s (1970) theories or in the traditional conceptual-izations of science.
