This paper deals with the idea of developing new philosophies for the reliability assessment of additive layer manufacturing (ALM) parts. ALM is a disruptive new manufacturing method by which components are created adding material layer after layer, allowing for the design and production of complex geometries, unthinkable with the use of traditional subtractive machining methods. Thinking ALM means...
This paper proposes an education assistive technology system based on a graphic haptic electronic board for improving the effects of education for the visually impaired in a special education environment for both low-vision and blind students. The system comprises of authoring and teaching SW for educators, viewer SW for students with low vision, and graphic haptic electronic board HW for blind students...
Developing the creativity of vocational high school students has become critical recently, particularly for mechanical engineering students. The goal of this study was to determine the relationships among factors of “school”, “family”, “intention”, “experience”, and “performance”. Results showed that “experience” moderated the relationship between “intention” and “performance”. Furthermore, “intention”...
Women in Australia continue to be under-represented in the engineering profession particularly in electrical engineering. Attracting students of both genders into engineering by relying on the traditional funnel management approach is inadequate. The focus of this paper is based on the experience of the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications at the University of New South Wales in...
The development of macroporous PEG-based hydrogel scaffolds for soft tissue implantation was investigated. It is aimed that the incorporation of several types of biofactors, particularly extracellular matrices (e.g., Matrigel and Myogel) into the hydrogel scaffolds will induce the formation of adipoctyes and therefore will have potential in breast reconstruction application. This is due to the promising...
Although flipping classroom is not a new idea in education, implementing flipped class is somewhat a new trend. Flipping classrooms involve students in using their textbooks, online materials, and other useful resources before coming to class. Consequently, students can spend valuable class meetings on problem-solving activities instead of lectures. Positive feedback from utilizing the flipped classroom...
This paper aims to explore the impact of lecture capture technology on lecturers and teaching at an Australian university. The data was collected from lecturers in engineering, management, and nursing disciplines. Results of the survey and interviews indicated conformity with previous studies on the importance of teachers' value beliefs in their effort to integrate educational technology in teaching...
Rapid advances in technology, economic globalization require engineering education to design itself towards an outcome based education module. This article reviews the current structure of teaching quality evaluation practices conducted in engineering institutes of Pakistan and focuses on the development of a meaningful Systematic Evaluation of Teaching that would generate meaningful feedback for...
This work examined the use of self-made YouTube videos by lecturers in teaching Mathematics. A few studies have emphasized the importance of bringing YouTube in the classroom. A lecturer may use YouTube videos available on Internet or create his own videos as teaching materials. The purpose of this work is to study students' perceptions and preferences between these two options. A sample of 213 first...
The demographics of the modern day student (shorter attention span, multimodal access to learning resources, growing reliance on technology) and highlighted concerns of the traditional teaching methods, such as a lecture, demonstrate a need for a more innovative teaching practice. The traditional lecture in higher education is often delivered in single-directional ‘transmission’ style with the information...
Lectures and little emphasis is on student involvement. To enhance the skills of the students/learners they need to be involved in the learning process. This paper describes the use of Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) in an engineering and management college in Andhra Pradesh, India. Though POGIL has been developed and validated extensively over the last 15 years in the US, it is quite...
This paper studies and evaluates Technology Enhanced learning, with particular reference to the National Program for Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) a portal dedicated to technical e-content across different Engineering Colleges of India. Based on a comprehensive survey conducted across the Engineering Colleges with over 5161 respondents, predominantly from western India, this study is a quantitative...
In this paper we discuss the difficulty of museum visitors to engage and relate with cultural objects focusing mainly on pieces of contemporary art. We present Taggling a location based game designed to support learning in the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art. The results of a qualitative user study with volunteers helped us to outline the learning potential of the game and supported us to gain...
Nowadays, there is a widespread demand for applying the robot system into the various fields. Especially, robot can substitute human and perform the dangerous activity such as search and rescue in the battle field or disaster. We are developing the dual arm robot which can be adapted to the rescue robot with tracked mobile platform. Therefore, it has to be designed to have the protection mechanism...
The interpretation of hyperspectral imagery is an essential task for classification, changes detection and monitoring of natural phenomena. One challenge of the processing hyperspectral images, with better spectral and temporal resolution is the huge amount of data volume and the interpretation in high dimensionality data. Various techniques have been developed in the literature for dimensionality...
This study aims to implement knowledge management system of teaching materials to improve the competence of teachers Mts Se-DKI Jakarta. The ability of teachers is urgent need improved Mts. Government and other related parties are required to how to improve the ability or competence of the teachers Mts spread in Jakarta. Improving the quality of teacher Mts through conventional training activities...
With the advent of advances in electronics, demand from customer for more functionality of circuits, system designers are using advanced packaging technique. For consumer application, this is working well. However when it comes to mission critical system such as missiles, torpedoes, submarine and aerospace product, circuit failure in any form results in failure in strategy planned. This paper brings...
During machining operations, user safety is a big factor need to consider. The more interaction of the user with the machine, the more the user is prone to accident due to mechanical or tool failures. Like in CNC systems, especially in milling and router machines, user interaction can be seen during manual tool change operations. This study presents the development of an automatic tool changer for...
This paper describes the experience in the development of the course “Thermal Energy Technology” for the fourth level of the Chemical Engineering career under the Curriculum Design established by the UTN for the career and with a focus on the development of transferable skills and competencies to the future professional performance of students. Strategies were applied with an emphasis on active student...
