And the argument is that if a university degree is a good investment, it ought to be substantially more valuable than the opportunity cost. There are two key weaknesses to our argument.

I strongly believe that the world needs engineers with strong critical thinking skills, who know how to ask questions, understand bias, construct and evaluate arguments, and think comprehensively and creatively. This paves the way for its use among the general public in the near future. This goes hand in hand with ethical thinking.

Through evaluating evidence and mapping out arguments, students can practice this important aspect of scientific communication. Coursework sometimes involves engaging with younger students, for example, by doing outreach at local high schools. Also, many public talks and seminars happen regularly across campus.

My interest was grabbed, therefore, by this thoughtfully composed piece in Chalkbeat, “ Hidden toll: Thousands of schools fail to count homeless students.” I was struck by the tight argumentation in the recent Vox essay, “ The incredible shrinking future of college ,” written by New America’s Kevin Carey.

So many discoveries, so many inventions, so much achieved, so much learned. And key to everything we do is leveraging what we have already done—often taking what in earlier years was a pinnacle of technical achievement, and now using it as a routine building block to reach a level that could barely even be imagined before.

However, since the 1990s, public attitudes towards gay rights in the US have undergone a monumental shift. Professor Michael Rosenfeld , a sociologist at Stanford University , has studied this dramatic change in public opinion. Most public attitudes remain relatively stable over time and social change is a slow process.

But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century. Kelvin’s ideas about the inevitable dissipation of “useful energy” spread quickly—by 1854, for example, finding their way into an eloquent public lecture by Hermann von Helmholtz (1821–1894).

I first met Ed in 1982—on an island in the Caribbean he had bought with money from taking public a tech company he’d founded. But Ed Fredkin’s first piece of public visibility seems to have come in 1948, when he was 13 years old—and it reminds me so much of many of Ed’s later “self-imposed” adventures.

Buoyed by appointments from Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin—who made wading into education fights a staple of his campaign—the board scalpelled out many of the proposed revisions that had been intended to create more diverse representation in lessons in Virginia schools.

My argument is that computer science was originally invented to be taught to everyone, but not for economic advantage. In 1961, the MIT Sloan School held a symposium on “Computers and the World of the Future.” Alan Perlis (first ACM Turing Award laureate) made a different argument in his chapter. It was an amazing event.
