There has been an upsurge of discussion recently about the status of engineering as a profession, the obligations of the engineer toward the public, and the relationship of the engineer to his employer. Some very important facets of these questions are illuminated by the fate of three engineers employed by BART. (Bay Area Rapid Transit).

BECKER, LOUIS A.SIEGRIST, FRANKLIN I.Louis A. Becker was born in New Rochelle
N.Y. in 1930 receiving his earlier education in the New Rochelle Public Schools. He completed his undergraduate studies at Manhattan College in 1952 receiving his BCE degree during which time he was also engaged in land surveying. Following this he did postgraduate study at Virginia Polytechnic Institute obtaining his MS in 1954. He joined Naval Ship Research and Development Center in 1953 as a Junior Engineer and is currently the Head of the Engineering & Facilities Division Structures Department. His field of specialization is Structural Research and Development. Franklin I. Siegrist was born in Knoxville
Tenn. in 1937 receiving his earlier education in the Public Schools of Erie Pa. He attended Pennsylvania State University graduating in 1962 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering having prior to that time served four years in the U. S. Navy. He was a Junior Engineer in the AC Spark Plug Division of General Motors from 1962 until 1964 at which time he came to the David Taylor Model Basin as an Electrical Engineer in the Industrial Department. He is currently Supervisory Engineer for Electrical and Electronics Engineering Structures Department Naval Ship Research and Development Center. His field of specialization is Electrical Engineering Control Systems Data Collection Systems Computer Applications to Structural Research and Hydraulic System Design. In the last of these he holds Patent Rights on a “Hydraulic Supercharge and Cooling Circuit” granted in 1970.

In recent years, machine learning has proven to be a powerful tool for deriving insights from data. In this review, we describe ways in which machine learning has been leveraged to facilitate the development and operation of sustainable energy systems. We first provide a taxonomy of machine learning paradigms and techniques, along with a discussion of their strengths and limitations. We then provide an overview of existing research using machine learning for sustainable energy production, delivery, and storage. Finally, we identify gaps in this literature, propose future research directions, and discuss important considerations for deployment.

The book focuses on concepts for initiating digitalization processes and identifying successful digital transformation strategies in all sectors of industry. Key topics include the sustainability of digital transformation in uncertain dynamics; conditions of uncertainty and barriers; industrial logistics in the new reality; best practices for implementing digital solutions to ensure sustainable, barrier-free and flexible supply chains; the achievement of sustainability in the process of digital transition; the adaptation of enterprises to the ESG concept through digital solutions; assessing the impact of industrial digital transformation on society and the environment; and clarifying how ESG aspects affect the economy. The experiences of various countries, regions and types of enterprise implementing IT and other technological innovations are also included, making the book a valuable asset for researchers and managers alike.

Reflective listening is a fundamental communication skill in behavioral health counseling. It enables counselors to demonstrate an understanding of and empathy for clients’ experiences and concerns. Training to acquire and refine reflective listening skills is essential for counseling proficiency. Yet, it faces significant barriers, notably the need for specialized and timely feedback to improve counseling skills. In this work, we evaluate and compare several computational models, including transformer-based architectures, for their ability to assess the quality of counselors’ reflective listening skills. We explore a spectrum of neural-based models, ranging from compact, specialized RoBERTa models to advanced large-scale language models such as Flan, Mistral, and GPT-3.5, to score psychotherapy reflections. We introduce a psychotherapy dataset that encompasses three basic levels of reflective listening skills. Through comparative experiments, we show that a finetuned small RoBERTa model with a custom learning objective (Prompt-Aware margIn Ranking (PAIR)) effectively provides constructive feedback to counselors in training. This study also highlights the potential of machine learning in enhancing the training process for motivational interviewing (MI) by offering scalable and effective feedback alternatives for counseling training.

The announcement of the Clipper chip by the U.S. Government in April 1993 set off a frenzy of discussions about cryptography policy in the technological community. The shock waves from it ultimately included front page treatment in The New York Times, repeated questions to the Vice President, creation of several new newsgroups on the Internet, and some very productive public discussions about striking the balance between national security, law enforcement, and civil liberties. We still don't have good answers for some of the questions that have been raised. As the Global Information Infrastructure is being built, we are writing portions of the Constitution for Cyberspace. I've been fortunate to have a front row seat and to share much of this with my students. The original reading and selection of materials was made by the first cohort of students* in The George Washington University Accel erated Master of Science Program in Telecommunications and Com puters at the Ashburn, Virginia campus. They worked many long hours-reading, debating, and selecting materials for this book. In addition, Bob Patton spent a great deal of time scanning and editing the material. Nestor Torres prepared the index. And Harish Nalinak shan provided an enormous amount of technical and administrative assistance and kept the project on track as new developments took place in the debate and new papers and legislation reflected these. As with most readings books, some of the selections cover similar material. We have tried to hold this duplication to an acceptable level.
