 n OH 45435\nToday we are locked in a vigorous debate over the place of the
  humanities in STEM education. In past times\, however\, this debate did n
 ot exist\, for it was once widely assumed that history and philosophy play
 ed a vital role in the training of young scientists. In this talk\, Don Ho
 ward will present that story by focusing on the career and work of the pro
 minent Viennese physicist\, Ernst Mach\, who also became famous as one of 
 the most important historians and philosophers of science in the latter pa
 rt of the nineteenth century. Machā€™s appointment to a chair in the history
  and philosophy of science at the University of Vienna in 1895 marked the 
 beginning of a long and influential tradition of integrating history and p
 hilosophy of science in science pedagogy. Howard will also discuss the equ
 ally edifying example of Albert Einstein\, who likewise prized the role of
  history and philosophy in science teaching and who acknowledged a great d
 ebt to Mach for having taught him this lesson.\nDon Howard is the former d
 irector and Fellow of the University of Notre Dameā€™s Reilly Center for Sci
 ence\, Technology\, and Values\, where he now functions as co-director of 
 the Centerā€™s ethics of emerging technologies focus area. He holds a perman
 ent appointment as a Professor in the Department of Philosophy. With a fir
 st degree in physics (B.Sc.\, Lyman Briggs College\, Michigan State Univer
 sity\, 1971)\, Howard went on to obtain both an M.A. (1973) and a Ph.D. (1
 979) in philosophy from Boston University\, where he specialized in philos
 ophy of physics under the direction of Abner Shimony.Ā \nThis event is free
  and open to the public.\nFor more information please contact the Departme
