Successful Education, March 27, 2012 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. ISAT 259
Tomasz Arciszewski
George Mason University
George Mason University
Dr. Tomasz Arciszewski is a professor of Civil, Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering at George Mason University. He is an interdisciplinary scholar who specializes in inventive engineering, knowledge acquisition, visual thinking in inventive design, and in education. He has a formal background in the areas of structural engineering and mechanics with hands-on design experience in steel space structures and general structural engineering. Dr. Arciszewski has published more than 160 research and technical articles in various journals, books, and conference proceedings publications. In December 2009, he published his book, “Successful Education- How to Educate Creative Engineers,” which is a culmination of over thirty years of research in the field of civil engineering education. He is also an inventor, with patents in Canada, the United States and Poland in the areas of tall buildings and space structures. At GMU, Dr. Arciszewski teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses in Structural Engineering and Design and Inventive Engineering.
The speaker is a global scholar interested in education in the context of creativity. His recent book “Successful Education. How to Educate Creative Engineers” has been published in the USA and will be published this year in China and Poland. Recently the speaker taught Inventive Engineering in Taiwan, Poland, and Italy, and gave talks on Successful Education in these countries as well as in Singapore, UK and in the USA at several universities and at the Department of Education.
We are living in a rapidly evolving world, which creates various challenges for all educated people. Unfortunately, traditional disciplinary, or even interdisciplinary, knowledge and traditional deductive thinking skills are grossly insufficient to address our emerging challenges. We need a new kind of a professional, a product of Successful Education, who will be educated to learn transdisciplinary knowledge and to practice successful intelligence.
The talk will provide an overview of Successful Education, a new educational paradigm based on the Theory of Successful Intelligence and utilizing the Da Vinci Principles. The speaker will also talk about implementation of Successful Education in a modern university; it will be done mostly in the context of engineering education but with obvious implications for the liberal arts or science education. In fact, integrative education will be proposed. Such education will be focused not only on the disciplinary knowledge but also on integrative teaching leading to integration of disciplinary knowledge into transdisciplinary knowledge, which is the key to creativity in science and engineering.

Air Force R.O.T.C. Opportunities for Engineers, Foreign Languages, Nurses, and Diversity Students
The Air Force ROTC program offers scholarships to qualified applicants. These scholarships are competitive, but if you qualify, you can earn a scholarship that can pay up to 100% of your tuition, lab fees, and $900/year for book expenses. Additionally, scholarship students earn a monthly tax-free stipend that they can use for anything they choose. Currently, the stipend ranges from $300/month for 1st year students to $500/month for 4th year students.
Detachment 890 Air Force ROTC is offered at the University of Virginia, as well as James Madison University, Liberty University, Old Dominion University – TeleTech net through Piedmont Virginia Community College, and Piedmont Virginia Community College, through a cross-town agreement with the University of Virginia. Through this cooperative agreement between our cross-town schools and UVA, JMU/LU/ODU-TeleTech net/PVCC students can enroll in AFROTC. They sign up for Aerospace Science Courses just like any other courses, however they travel to UVA to actually take the class/labs.
We are also hosting an interest meeting for potentially interested students on Wednesday, 21 March 2012 at 7:30 pm in HHS 1203. Any and all interested students should attend this non-committal, informational meeting to explore the many options the USAF has, scholarship opportunities provided by AFROTC, and answer any questions they might have.
The Air Force ROTC program at Detachment 890 is combination of elective academic courses and leadership training. You take one ROTC class per semester. 1st and 2nd year students take one 1-credit course each semester. During your 3rd and 4th year, you take one 3-credit course per semester. Additionally, you would attend Leadership Lab once a week during each semester.
The focus of the academic program is as follows: 1st year students take introductory courses in what the Air Force is, how it works, etc. 2nd Year students take courses in Air Force history. 3rd year students take courses in leadership. 4th year students take courses in doctrine, geo-politics, and area studies. Additionally, students who elect to stay in the program after their 2nd year attend 4 weeks of field training during the summer between their 2nd and 3rd year.
The goal of the program is to prepare students to be commissioned as lieutenants in the Air Force upon graduation from Detachment 890. There are a variety of fields in which lieutenants can work in the Air Force - pilots, navigators, engineers, communications, intelligence, medicine, etc – the list is literally huge. Students are selected for their career field during their 3rd year in school.
I can tell you that the Air Force is selective - we are looking for talented individuals who are dedicated, hard working, and willing to serve their country. I highly encourage you to check out our website at www.afrotc.com – it is loaded with great information. You can also check the Detachment 890 Air Force ROTC website at these locations: http://www.airforce.virginia.edu and our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/det890
