The document summarizes a presentation about integrating engineering concepts into middle school math and science classrooms using examples from the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). It discusses how activities on topics like bridge building and biomedical imaging can teach engineering design processes while linking to science concepts. However, it notes that many common classroom activities do not fully capture engineering and may reinforce misconceptions.

Transitioning Education’s Knowledge Infrastructure:
Shaping Design or Shouting from the Touchline?
Abstract: Bit by bit, a data-intensive substrate for education is being designed, plumbed in and switched on, powered by digital data from an expanding sensor array, data science and artificial intelligence. The configurations of educational institutions, technologies, scientific practices, ethics policies and companies can be usefully framed as the emergence of a new “knowledge infrastructure” (Paul Edwards).
The idea that we may be transitioning into significantly new ways of knowing – about learning and learners – is both exciting and daunting, because new knowledge infrastructures redefine roles and redistribute power, raising many important questions. For instance, assuming that we want to shape this infrastructure, how do we engage with the teams designing the platforms our schools and universities may be using next year? Who owns the data and algorithms, and in what senses can an analytics/AI-powered learning system be ‘accountable’? How do we empower all stakeholders to engage in the design process? Since digital infrastructure fades quickly into the background, how can researchers, educators and learners engage with it mindfully? If we want to work in “Pasteur’s Quadrant” (Donald Stokes), we must go beyond learning analytics that answer research questions, to deliver valued services to frontline educational users: but how are universities accelerating the analytics innovation to infrastructure transition?
Wrestling with these questions, the learning analytics community has evolved since its first international conference in 2011, at the intersection of learning and data science, and an explicit concern with those human factors, at many scales, that make or break the design and adoption of new educational tools. We are forging open source platforms, links with commercial providers, and collaborations with the diverse disciplines that feed into educational data science. In the context of ICLS, our dialogue with the learning sciences must continue to deepen to ensure that together we influence this knowledge infrastructure to advance the interests of all stakeholders, including learners, educators, researchers and leaders.
Speaking from the perspective of leading an institutional analytics innovation centre, I hope that our experiences designing code, competencies and culture for learning analytics sheds helpful light on these questions.
Dave Franchino, president of the product development and innovation consultancy Design Concepts, takes a quick historic look at engineering education and the eight areas of focus necessary for educating tomorrow's engineers. The presentation was delivered on April 22, 2016, at the University of Wisconsin's Engineering Innovation Showcase.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

UW “Grand Challenges”
• Project goal:
create interest in engineering among a larger and more diverse
population of middle school students
• Strategy (2010-2013):
Society’s Grand Challenges for Engineering embedded in core math
and science curriculum
“Summer institute” for teachers/school staff in 2011 and 2012
Curriculum modules piloted in 6 partner schools
Research study -- collect and use data to:
evaluate:
• classroom implementation of instructional materials
• Effect on student and teacher perceptions about engineering
careers, science and math
improve/expand instructional resources
11. 11
Making a difference in the world
• Women’s Experiences in College Engineering Project (2001)
A top reason why women enter engineering:
attraction to the altruistic kind of work engineers do
Critical factor in retention:
exposing women early on to how engineering has led to
improvements in society and the quality of people’s lives
• “Extraordinary Women Engineers” high school survey (2005)
Survey results show that girls:
often don’t know what engineering is
think it is only for those with innate love of math and science
However, they:
want to be creative and “make a difference”
react positively to personal stories about engineering lifestyles
Peers and educators are key influencers and motivators

engineering; it certainly does not define engineering
• Societal context: engineering can be found in every aspect of
the human experience
• Engineering and science are symbiotic, but different
Science = testable explanations of our universe
Engineering = application of science in a structured process to solve
problems of human need
