Director, Cognet Lab, SEECS Room no: 215, Academic Block, SEECS Office hours: to be decided in class. “There is a tendency in our field to believe that everything we currently use is a paragon of engineering, rather than a snapshot of our understanding at the time. We build great myths of spin about how what we have done is the only way to do it, to the point that our universities now teach the flaws to students (and professors and textbook authors) who don’t know any better.” – John Day (an Internet pioneer and historian) 1.
