Factors Affecting the Permanence of Occupational Health and Safety Topics in Engineering Courses

This paper presents an evaluation of the permanence of changes introduced within the curriculum of the College of Engineering at Tufts University. These changes involved the integration of occupational health and safety engineering resource materials into existing course work. Employing this model, Tufts faculty members developed their own lectures, case studies and laboratory materials for integration into existing courses. The evaluation, that was based on structured interviews of participating faculty and the Dean of the College, suggests that the permanence of changes to curriculum is influenced by a set of intramural parameters within the academic milieu (student interest, available class time, interest on the part of the faculty and administration) as well as by extramural factors such as the increasing prominence of legal liability of practitioners, growing interest on the part of employers and lack of readily usable materials in standard texts concerning occupational health and safety. Recommendations for future activities in these areas are offered and discussed.     

Adaptation of Total Quality Methods to the Administration of an Academic Engineering Department

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin has pursued a rational and considered course of action for adapting the methods of Total Quality Management (TQM) for improving a broad range of our administrative processes. To initiate this effort, the academic, shop and research staff along with members of the faculty holding administrative responsibility participated in an in-house six day series of training meetings on the tools of TQM. Topics of the training included team functioning principles, data acquisition and statistical analysis tools, process identification and evaluation, self assessment, and strategic planning techniques. Members of the staff and faculty took part in the training on an equal basis. Quality teams have been established to address processes selected from an extensive list of candidates. Most teams have members from both faculty and staff, plus a trained quality advisor. In addition, quality groups have formed spontaneously from functional working groups of staff following equipping with TQM tools. Initial results have been encouraging, with improved service to customers, reduction of cycle times, and improved interpersonal relations.     

Physical function was related to mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease and dialysis

Previous studies have shown that exercise improves aerobic capacity, muscular functioning, cardiovascular function, walking capacity, and health‐related quality of life (QOL) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and dialysis. Recently, additional studies have shown that higher physical activity contributes to survival and decreased mortality as well as physical function and QOL in patients with CKD and dialysis. Herein, we review the evidence that physical function and physical activity play an important role in mortality for patients with CKD and dialysis. During November 2016, Medline and Web of Science databases were searched for published English medical reports (without a time limit) using the terms “CKD” or “dialysis” and “mortality” in conjunction with “exercise capacity,” “muscle strength,” “activities of daily living (ADL),” “physical activity,” and “exercise.” Numerous studies suggest that higher exercise capacity, muscle strength, ADL, and physical activity contribute to lower mortality in patients with CKD and dialysis. Physical function is associated with mortality in patients with CKD and dialysis. Increasing physical function may decrease the mortality rate of patients with CKD and dialysis. Physicians and medical staff should recognize the importance of physical function in CKD and dialysis. In addition, exercise is associated with reduced mortality among patients with CKD and dialysis.

Obituary – Chester J. Mackson

Chester J. Mackson, PhD., former Director of the School of Packaging, Michigan State University (MSU), died on May 21 at the age of 88. He was Director of the School from 1977 to 1986 during one of the School's most expansive, successful periods. Dr. Mackson's vision led to a much expanded school in terms of staffing and student numbers, and in programs and international prominence. During his time as Director, he hired many of the faculty currently on staff and laid the foundation for the broadened programmatic mission that we enjoy today. Chet was instrumental in the building expansion that added several world‐class labs, a conference room and faculty offices. Prior to this, faculty had been housed in two buildings that he felt did not create a good work environment. Today the School is well known both on and off campus for its harmonious work environment and team attitude. Internationally, Chet was very proactive, perhaps a little surprising for a small town boy from Michigan's Upper Peninsula. He was one of the pioneers and long‐time board members of the International Association of Packaging Research Institutes (IAPRI). IAPRI is now a thriving association made up of member organizations from all around the world; its recent 16th World Conference was held in Bangkok, Thailand. Chet was the organizer of the 4th World Conference in Lansing, Michigan. It was the first one held outside of Europe and remains one of the most successful. Together with Frank Paine he started the first packaging overseas study program for students, offered in London, England, which has now expanded to also include programs in Sweden, Spain and Japan. Chet worked with the World Bank, the US Agency for International Development and the United Nations to secure short term assignments for faculty in Mexico, Brazil, Morocco and Korea, among others. Due, in part, to Chet's early leadership, the current faculty is well traveled internationally and the School is respected globally. Chet Mackson was an educator, an innovator and an entrepreneur. He loved his family, MSU, Michigan's upper peninsula and a good golf match. He served MSU for over 34 years as a professor in Agriculture Economics and as Director of the School of Packaging. He served the USA as an officer in World War II in Patton's Third Army, was wounded in battle and received the Purple Heart. Chet is survived by Marilynn, his wife of 61 years, 6 children, 11 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Chet was honored by the Packaging Education Foundation in 1992 when they elected him to the Packaging Hall of Fame, and again by the School's alumni in 2007 when they elected him to MSU Packaging Alumni Association Hall of Fame. One of the things he said most often, and which exemplifies his professional career was, ‘it is surprising how much you can accomplish, as long as you don't care who gets the credit’. Chet will be missed by the faculty, staff and alumni of the School of Packaging.     

Unified Engineering: A Twenty Year Experiment in Sophomore Aerospace Education at MIT

Unified Engineering is the two-semester subject teaching the aerospace sophomore core curriculum at MIT. It contains material from four traditional single semester, single discipline courses. The paper summarizes the history of the course and presents its current structure including the teaching staff involved, textbooks used, and the overall organization. Some of Unified's unique features are the identification of linkages between disciplines, the encouragement of teamwork, emphasis on real-world engineering, and support for the department's implicit curriculum. Students perceive Unified as a course that imposes a high workload, teaches them a very large amount of material, and encourages strong bonds with their classmates in the department. The interaction of senior faculty, junior faculty, graduate teaching fellows, and undergraduate teaching assistants, all in one course, provides educational benefits for the entire teaching staff.     

Faculty Use and Impressions of Courseware Management Tools: A National Survey

Technology in the classroom is changing the way faculties instruct and students learn. Understanding how faculty members perceive and use technology for learning is important for improving the educational process because instructor perceptions can potentially be a hindrance to the use and implementation of technology. This paper describes the results of a survey that investigated faculty Internet usage for instructional purposes as well as their perceptions of courseware management and Web‐publishing tools. The survey targeted a random sample of engineering faculty at ABET‐accredited universities. The survey results show that while many faculty members are using both Web‐publishing tools and courseware management tools for delivering educational content, they use these tools for only a small subset of pedagogical activities.     

Kepler's Living Cosmology: Bridging the Celestial and Terrestrial Realms

Abstract. Johannes Kepler's system of mathematical archetypes played a primary role in his physical cosmology. Identified as the geometrical models making up the metaphysical blueprint of the material world, Kepler's archetypes underlay every aspect of his world picture. Despite their importance, however, it has remained unclear how Kepler conceived of the archetypes in corporeal terms, that is, how he saw archetypes as being embodied in the form of material phenomena. Kepler's solution, I suggest, is an efficient cause, a facultas animalis, or animate faculty, pervading both the celestial and the terrestrial realms. In addition to its ability to realise the archetypes in their physical form, the animate faculty allowed Kepler to account for heavenly and earthly occurrences in terms of the same geometrical principles. Faraway phenomena such as comets and new stars could thus be seen as essentially comparable to more accessible curiosities on the Earth.
