Compassion in Engineering Education
This study validates the Compassionate Engagement and Action Scales for Self and Others (CEAS) for use with undergraduate engineering students in the United States. Compassion, defined as sensitivity to suffering in oneself and others coupled with a commitment to alleviate and prevent it, is increasingly recognized as a vital socio-emotional competency in professional education. Using a cross-sectional survey design, 434 engineering undergraduate…
An Australian Overview
This paper examines the current status of 3D modelling of cultural heritage objects in Australian universities, focusing on how these models are being integrated into object-based learning practices. It discusses the different approaches taken by major universities, explores the motivations behind digitisation projects, and considers the benefits and challenges they present. The paper provides an overview of various digitisation techniques and th…
Mr. Gilbert’s World Tour
This article provides a comparative analysis of the treatment of disabled First World War veterans in 1920s Britain and the simultaneous care of Imperial Pensioners residing in Australia and South Africa via the detailed administrative reports of a British civil servant, G.F. Gilbert. Imperial Pensioners were disabled veteran migrants of the British Army residing overseas. A study of these veteran populations in Australia and South Africa provide…
Self-Inflicted Frankfurt-Style Cases and Flickers of Freedom
According to the most popular versions of the flicker defense, Frankfurt-style cases fail to undermine the Principle of Alternative Possibilities (PAP) because agents in these cases are (directly) morally responsible not for making the decisions they make but for making these decisions on their own , which is something they could have avoided doing. Frankfurt defenders have primarily focused on trying to show that the alternative possibility of r…
Voluntarily chosen roles and conscientious objection in health care
The longstanding dominant view is that health care practitioners should be permitted to refrain from participating in medical interventions when they have a conscientious objection to doing so in a broad range of cases. In recent years, a growing minority have been fervently advocating a sea change. In their view, medical professionals should not be permitted to refuse to participate in medical interventions merely because doing so conflicts with…

Are Some Prima Facie Duties More Binding than Others
In The Right and the Good , W. D. Ross commits himself to the view that, in addition to being distinct and defeasible, some prima facie duties are more binding than others. David McNaughton has argued that there appears to be no way of making sense of this claim that is both coherent and consistent with Ross's overall picture. I offer an alternative way of understanding Ross's remarks about the comparative stringency of prima facie duties, which,…
Determining Why Students Take More Science Than Required in High School
This study reports the results of a survey of 405 high school students in a school district in the western United States. The data were used to determine why so many students take only the minimal science required for graduation. Key areas addressed included how science is taught; science literacy; science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); science, technology, and society (STS); and who influences students to take science. Results …
Knowledge and Attitudes of Ugandan Preservice Science and Mathematics Teachers Toward Global and Ugandan Science- and Technology-Based Problems and/or Threats
This article reports the effects of a science, technology, and society (STS) teaching approach on the knowledge and attitudes of preservice science and mathematics teachers in Uganda toward global science and technology-based problems and/or threats. The responses of a baseline or control group (N = 50) and an experimental group (N = 50) to five questions on the preassessment indicated how little knowledge these preservice teachers had regarding …

What Do Secondary Science and Mathematics Teachers Know About Engineering
The article describes a capstone engineering course for preservice and inservice secondary science and mathematics teachers and shows teacher attitudes toward engineering before and after the course and results of a comparison with a convenience sample. It also gives the results of the attitudes of high school student experimental and control groups toward engineering in a pretest-posttest design. Four findings were made: (a) The science and math…
