Professor Interviews

Similar questions were asked to faeulty that were asked to smdents, on whether faculty definitions of social justice meant equality. One faculty member told researchers that respecting diversity, respeeting eultural differences, treating people equally independent of gender, ethnieity, and religion was the key to social justice. Other faculty members suggested that social justice does not only imply equahty but also provides equal opportunity or equity. 

Regarding the relation between ethics and social justice, the large majority of the faculty felt that ethics was the overarching frame that social justice operated under. One faculty member said, if social justice is not apphed then there is something wrong with ethics. Alarge majority felt if there were no ethics, social justice would not exist. Other faculties saw ethics and social justice in a discrete sense where ethics is a subset of social justice. 

This professor points out that as industrial engineers tty to improve the whole system, social justice is subsumed in what industrial engineers do. 

In response to addressing social justice in courses or the engineering program, a large majority of the faculty members interviewed stated that the engineering program did not address social justice. In fact, most believed that ethics was covered tactically rather than being adopted wholeheartedly. One faculty member stated  

In my course I am only focused on the technical—in the whole program we address this in ABET evaluation—we do the ABET evaluation in a technical way to please ABET standards. Not in any deep way. Even in the senior design project we do not touch deeply on this issue.

The author wishes to make special note of the use of a special issue of Chemie Kunststoffe Aktuell (A) and two taped interview sessions with Professor Mark (y, 6). A special thanks is given to Ms. Jeanne Strauss, Phillips Petroleum Co., for her patient clarification of a great deal of German. 

Richard Tolman was professor of physical chemistry and mathematical physics at Caltech. See Linus Pauling in interview with John Heilbron, March 27, 1964, 2d of 2 sessions, 20, SHQP, Berkeley. 

A shirt that has an alligator or polo pony Isn t just a shirt—it s a status symbol 0 A student who wears retro clothing will often be seen as cool or hip, while someone who wears polyester trousers and a pocket protector will be stereotyped as a nerd or dork —even though he may be just as hip as she.

If these places stiU do not yield experts or professionals whom you can interview, you can always check your local, national, or even an international phone book to look up any societies, museums, cultural institutions, and perhaps, even private phone numbers of potential primary source individuals. Even if a living family member of President John E Kennedy is not available for information, perhaps a famous biographer or professor would be willing to speak about the topic. There may also be a special historical association or website devoted chiefly to his presidency. 

Benny Shanon, Professor of Psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has conducted numerous psychological studies of ayahuasca, the plant-based psychotropic brew from the Amazon. The research reported in his book The Antipodes of the Mind comes from his own experiences and numerous interviews with people from all walks of life. 

To give yourself every possible advantage, don t hesitate to find a friend, mentor, career counselor, professional resume writer, former professor, or anyone else who can offer you assistance in finding job opportunities, writing your resume and cover letters, preparing for interviews, and ultimately succeeding in the whole job-search process. Also, be sure to use the Internet and take advantage of the online resources available to you. 

Not himself a scientist, Garfinkel based his conclusion about molecular nanotechnology on interviews with a number of professionals in chemistry, primarily from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). One criticism he heard came from Robert J. Silby, professor of chemistry at MIT, who pointed out that "molecules are not rigid, they vibrate, they have bending motions. This could lead one to conclude that physical devices like assemblers and replicators are not technically feasible. 

Pauson obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Sheffield in 1949 and then moved to the Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, where he was offered the post of a temporary Assistant Professor without interview. Following his interests in non-benzenoid systems, he attempted to prepare fulvalene (see Scheme 5.1) but, as mentioned above, isolated ferrocene instead. After he finished his 2-years term at Duquesne, he spend the academic year 1951-1952 at the University of Chicago as a postdoctoral fellow working on peroxide chemistry with Morris S. Kharasch, in those days the pope in this field. In 1953, he was appointed to a DuPont... 

Although I had not considered what I would do after the war, this seemed too good an opportunity to miss, so off I went in wren uniform to Cambridge and had various interviews and was shown the chemistry laboratories by the professor. I gather later that I caused quite a stir among the technicians — a wren officer in uniform going round the chemistry lab.97...
