Fellow Fediversian, I've been offered the possibility of giving a talk about free software at the Faculty of Engineering to students of mechanical engineering (I'm a mechanical engineer myself).
What would you thing is the most appropiate approach?
I'd like to talk about ethics and privacy, but maybe a more practical point of view can attract them more to our universe, I don't know...
Dear Fediversians I need your help! I discovered I have (at least) a dyslexic student and I suddenly realised I might be being ableist and assuming nobody could be struggling when reading the exams or homework 😱
Could you please give me advice about anything that would make my class material more inclusive? What should I avoid?
I feel terrible right now, any feedback would be highly appreciated 😊
I teach Mechanics in an Engineering degree at uni, btw
The Fediverse is great thanks to things like the #canHelpWith hashtag. Here goes mine!
I can help with:
- Baking: bread and cakes including sourdough
- Academic writing: LaTeX and bibliography management
- College level mechanical engineering (I teach at uni!): vibration, noise, structures, material properties and the like. Also numerical methods, specially finite elements.
- Spanish: I'm a native 😊
Feel free to ask about anything and I'll try to help.
We're working to establish an university wide feminist group. We're more or less a dozen of people from different faculties that meet once a month to talk about feminisms.
It's great to talk with non engineers sometimes, I'm very excited 😍
I'm preparing a little course about LaTeX for the PhD students at my faculty. I'd use the Beamer Metropolis theme, but I'd like to change. Too much Metropolis in my life!
Any minimalistic nice looking theme I should try, Fediverse? The idea is convince them to abandon Word forever ????
I'll publish the slides with a CC license, of course.
