Course Learning Objectives

Modeling begins before you ever touch a computer

• How do I understand the system of interest?
• Within that system, what phenomena am I interested in?
• What entities do I think are relevant for my model?
• How might I qualitatively describe entity relationships in the model? (Example: predators hunt prey, so predators should have some contribution to the reduction of prey.)
• What simplifications do I know I’m making?
• How can I express expectations of/predictions about the model? (E.g., with one wolf and 10 million rabbits, I don’t think there will be much of a predator effect. Or: here’s a sketch of the path I think this orbiting body might take. Or: based on my experiences with kerbal space program, I figure the object would take a path like this.)

• Be Present
• Be Kind
• Take Space and Make Space (be mindful of how much time/space you're taking up and be willing to yield to others)
• For morning review, put your questions up the night before
• Listen without interrupting
• It's ok to talk about friction we might have working with each other
• Confirming that we understand each other by rephrasing. ("What I'm hearing is...")
• No Question Is a Ridiculous Question
• Every mistake can teach you something. Treat mistakes as growth and learning opportunities.
• This is also true of unintenionally harmful communication

Engineering Ethics and Workplace Norms(?)

What do you hope to get out of this?

• Hear Brian call 1902GH his favorite cohort
• What are bad ethics? Why do we we even need to know engineering ethics?
• How Facebook got to where it was?
  • How do we prevent those kinds of things from happening?
  • How do we see it in a work?
  • What is our role as engineers in a company when it comes to that?

Thinking about learning objectives as a process of modeling
