Negative feedback loop of context deeper into field, losing contact with everyone else
Philosophy of teaching
- STEm require up front explanation of principles in myriad ways
- abstractions to tackle complicated subjects
- intuit their way around new ideas
Teaching style
- tackle complicated subjects
- distill very large body of materials into essentials
- intuitive way, visual abstractions, intuition pumps
The bigger picture
- This is about more than a "bag of tricks"
- This is about solving, one person at a time, the problem of diversity in technology
- Negative feedback loop, as get deeper into technical field, losing touch with context, fewer can follow, self-selective process
- Process of engineering education is the process of teaching students how to think critically, how to observe and analyze, how to build mental models.
