Davidson, Cliff

In his 1980 dissent, Patterson warned that it is probable that (the middle) person is also poisoned with lead, but in more subtle ways that have not yet been disclosed. He called for the phase-out of lead mining, smelting, and manufacturing, a monumental crime committed by humanity against itself. Only two committee members, Cliff Davidson of the Carnegie Institution and Jerome Nriagu of the University of Michigan, endorsed Patterson s position. 

The next speaker in this session was Dr. Cliff Davidson from Carnegie Mellon University s Environmental Institute. Davidson divided his talk into four topic areas (1) skills and attitudes that future engineers will need (2) environment across the curriculum initiative (3) case studies in green engineering and (4) center for sustainable engineering A three-university consortium comprising Carnegie Mellon, University of Texas at Austin, and Arizona State University. 

Cliff Davidson from Carnegie Mellon University posed the question of who will teach the ethics Davidson suggested that expert ethicists and humanities professors were seen as appropriate people to teach as well as help develop the curriculum. Vanasupa explained that because faculty members are often already burdened with a full workload, one solution has been to outsource to the experts. At the same time, she said that the outsourcing can also create a disconnect between the faculty and material covered. One solution to the disconnect is coteaching, although there can initially be problems with the administration and infrastructure.

This is no place to review the literature, but the later volume Fluidization (Academic Press, 1971) which Davidson and Harrison edited deserves mention, as do chapters 10 and 11 (by Davidson, Harrison, Darton and La Nauze, and Amundson, Bukur and Caram, resp.) in Chemical Reactor Theory (Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs. 1977) D.
