The assimilation theory of verbal learning leads to meaningful learning wherein the learning outcomes take the form of concept maps—networks of some selected linguistic expressions and concepts. Concept-map-based education helps avoid rote learning, prepare content for effective on-ground and e-learning, and measure learning outcomes at the course, program, and institutional levels. As a resu…

Engineering systems integration : theory, metrics, and methods
Dreamers may envision our future, but it is the pragmatists who build it. Solve the right problem in the right way, mankind moves forward. Solve the right problem in the wrong way or the wrong problem in the right way, however clever or ingenious the solution, neither credits mankind. Instead, this misfire demonstrates a failure to appreciate a crucial step in pragmatic problem solving: systems…

Academia in transformation : scholars facing the Arab uprisings
Popular uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have had a deep impact, not only on the societies and political structures in the respective countries there, but also on different academic disciplines. The events that started in 2010 in Tunisia have altered academic terminology, contributed to a shift in study focus and sometimes challenged dominant theoretical approaches. The book…

From data modeling to knowledge engineering in space system design
The technologies currently employed for modeling complex systems, such as aircraft, spacecraft, or infrastructures, are sufficient for system description, but do not allow deriving knowledge about the modeled systems. This work provides the means to describe space systems in a way that allows automating activities such as deriving knowledge about critical parts of the system’s design, evaluat…
