The Division of Engineering Science at the University of Toronto offers a complex, multidisciplinary undergraduate program, commonly known as "EngSci”. We are in the first of a multi-year project titled ROLE (Realigning Outcomes with Learning Experiences), designed to proactively realign curriculum, pedagogy, students, and brand with our program goals. The first step in this process is to understand the state of Engineering Science as an academic discipline more broadly, and to better understand its role in the broader engineering and science landscape.  To better understand the discipline, we have used the academic plan model to compare eight engineering science programs from around the globe. The academic plan model supports the identification of internal and external factors that shape academic programs and frames the academic plan itself as seven related components that make up curriculum. Utilizing public-facing documentation such as websites and grey literature, we compared the IESC (International Engineering Science Consortium) programs and found differences in fundamental curriculum content, sub-disciplinary foci, organizational structure, and sources of external influence.  Concurrently, we conducted a workshop with members from the IESC to facilitate dialogue on the state of the discipline. This workshop resulted in a number of interesting artifacts, documenting the perspective of the participants. Some key themes that emerged included a strong focus on fundamentals and first principles; a focus on non-traditional and rapidly developing sub-disciplines, using the notion that Engineering Science can act as an “incubator” for new disciplines; and a diversity of views on the relationship between science and engineering within Engineering Science programs.  Finally, the paper paves a way forward for the next phase of the work, which involves interviewing program faculty and alumni to further understand perceptions of the discipline and the positioning of the discipline in the broader science and engineering landscape.

The article considers the problems of the theory of functions of constitutional and legal responsibility. The characteristic features of the functions of constitutional and legal responsibility are analyzed. It substantiates the correlation and relationship between the functions of constitutional and legal responsibility and the functions of the Constitution, the functions of constitutional law, the functions of the state, etc. It is proved that the functions of constitutional and legal responsibility are characterized by legal features that reveal the essence and content of this category, in particular: 1) express the nature and content of this type of legal responsibility, its purpose in society and the state, as well as its place in the system of protection of the Constitution and constitutional order; 2) interrelated with the main functions of the state; 3) is an active way of acting of constitutional and legal responsibility and constitutional law as a whole (its principles, tasks, functions); 4) having an objective nature, on the one hand, is a form of purposeful willful behavior or activity of the subjects of constitutional liability and constitutional law in general (subjects of instances of constitutional responsibility and subjects of violators of constitutional law and order (delinquents)), and, on the other hand, the system of legal states that give rise to the constitutional rights and obligations of participants in constitutional-controversial and constitutional-conflict relations; 5) directly related to the system of constitutional law institutions (people, state, elections and referendums, bodies and officials of state power and local self-government, people and citizens, territorial hromadas, political parties, etc.); 6) are in synergy with the sources of constitutional law as a branch of law (above all the Constitution and its functions); 7) directly affect the constitutional and legal relations (first of all, constitutionally-controversial and constitutional-conflict) and their properties, subject-object composition, constitutional legal facts; 8)are organically related to the functions of constitutional law as a legal science and academic discipline and the like, etc. The definition of the concept of the functions of constitutional legal responsibility as the main normative and organizationally secured areas and types of its influence on the constitutional and legal relations with the purpose of protection of the Constitution, restoration of the constitutional order and proper fulfilment of tasks, functions and powers of the subjects of these relations, constitutional disputes between them and overcoming constitutional conflicts is formulated.

Contemporary Islam

In his “Introduction,” Hallaq states that this work approaches the field ofIslamic law in a way that few other scholars have attempted. “To write thehistory of Shari’a is to represent the Other,” he argues; “history, both Islamicand European, is the modern’s Other, and ... in the case of Islam this historyis preceded by another Other – namely contemporary Islam” (p. 1). This approach, which treats the Shari`ah as an aggregate of its history – its theory,institutional and societal applications, and implications in projects of power– also draws the discipline of Islamic legal studies into its analysis. ForHallaq, the “extraordinary innocence” of modern scholarship concerningIslamic law and society “proceeds ... unaware of (its) culpable dependency... on the ideology of the state” (p. 5). His approach brings together two intellectualaims: (a) to illumine the conditions of production and power relationswithin which Islamic legal knowledge, as an academic discipline, was builtand (b) to further elaborate upon the Shari`ah’s development as a system ofthought, practice, and institutions throughout its history. My review willfocus upon how these two major strands interweave and the new contributionsthe author makes to the study of Islamic law and society ...

The paper is devoted to several problems. The author investigates the place and role of the history of political and legal doctrines in the system of legal education and science. The new nomenclature of scientific specialties refers this academic subject to theoretical and historical legal sciences, provided no changes are made to the proposed subject description. The main issue articulated in the paper involves the history of political and legal doctrines. This academic discipline is historical, political, legal and theoretical at the same time. Periodization in this case represents periodization of theoretical forms of reflection over political and legal institutions as one of the main problems for a historical discipline. The paper focuses on the fact that the chronological approach to periodization of the history of political and legal doctrines is the main one. However, this approach does not exclude other approaches that are also described in the paper. Moreover, the paper examines traditions established in the science and the student course. Conventionally, the history of political and legal doctrines is investigated chronologically, in a problematic or portrait ways. Needless to say, the author does not exclude the methodological approach to periodization of theoretical and legal forms of cognition of the State and legal institutions.

Looking Back

2021 has been a year for looking back as well as forwards. In this article, I reflect on the state of languishing induced by lockdown, and the intensification of uncertainty in our everyday lives. I offer some biographical details of the early years of my career, which has largely been within a single institution, Maynooth University. The late Professor Liam Ryan was my boss and later my friend from 1990 until his death in 2015. His (typically) acerbic insights on the state of Irish sociology were recorded in 1984 for an issue of the Sociological Association of Ireland Bulletin. Re-visiting his prognosis today, I reflect on North–South relations in the discipline, on the challenge of forging a public role for Irish sociology, and on the growth of a precariat within the academic discipline. I conclude with some comments on the enduring relevance of sociology as we come to terms with post-pandemic life.

The objective of the study is to provide characteristics to the state of academic discipline “Legal Linguistics” in Ukraine and in the countries of Romano-Germanic law, and its origin. To achieve the objective, the author has solved the following tasks: 1) description of the state of academic discipline “Legal Linguistics” in Ukrainian educational institutions; 2) “Legal Linguistics” as an academic discipline and as a research direction in the educational institutions of Germany and Switzerland and its importance for training a “European lawyer”. It has been concluded that “Legal Linguistics” as an interdisciplinary academic discipline must be offered in the curriculum for training a lawyer in the specialty 081 “Jurisprudence” as an academic discipline of choice. The purpose of its study is to get acquainted with the main directions, ideas and problems of the current legal and linguistic science; studying theoretical and methodological principles of legal linguistics; mastering the methodology of drafting, editing and analysis of legal texts, namely normative and legal, various substatutory acts and law-enforcement documents. The tasks of the academic discipline are: students acquire in-depth knowledge, skills and abilities on the role of a language within legal regulation, the basics of legal technique, law-making and law-enforcement errors, specific features of linguistic examination of bills, mastering the methodology of drafting, editing and analysis of legal texts. The training of a modern lawyer in Europe is increasingly directed not at the study of state legislation, but on the formation of a “European lawyer”, who thinks globally, is able to work not only with national law, but also with the acquis communautaire and to correctly interpret such acts, based on the provisions and conclusions of legal comparative studies. Training of law students in accordance with the European Credit Transfer System, which facilitates their mobility, assists in such a formation.

In this paper authors relies on the statement that the main and most important function of philosophy in society is the worldview function. However, the latest version of the state standard of higher education replaced the requirements for the formation of a worldview and civic position with the development of the ability to systematic and critical thinking. According to authors, this significantly reduces the potential of philosophy as an academic discipline, since thinking is an integral element of the established personality, and not vice versa. The paper shows that the target attitude in teaching philosophy, focused on the development of personal qualities of students, corresponds to the main problems of philosophical knowledge. At the same time, the anthropological aspect, supplemented by the onto-epistemological theme, contributes to the formation of the methodological culture of the future specialist. The authors note that such features of philosophical knowledge as rationalism, logical evidence based on empirical data of natural Sciences, and critical interaction between philosophical concepts in the space-time continuum will help to solve the problem of developing the student's thinking, which is not the primary goal of teaching philosophy in higher education, but a subordinate task.
