The TRIZ of Innovation method gives the definition of resources that is the available substance in the system and environment or the new material produced by them. But there is no systematic way to utilize resource in TRIZ. This paper will put forward a new method about the analysis and utilization of resources in the process of product design. Make use of the law of system completeness to evaluate...
As the course of fundamentals of computer pays more attention to the cultivation target of practice ability and the computational thinking ability, we devote to these problems' research as experimental teaching model, teaching contents and teaching method, and reform the innovation practice teaching mode research of the fundamentals of computer in this paper. In the new teaching mode, a new practice...
Various local innovative armor units for coastal protection structure have been developed to mitigate and control serious coastal erosion problems. The armor units designed by researchers from several institutions in Malaysia include SAUH, SINE SLAB, L-Block and Labuan Block armor. These armor units were implemented to prevent critical erosion problems along various stretches of Malaysia's coastline...
Complex educational environment is one of the key components in considering teacher's acceptance of distance education and can be observed in different scopes in relation to the teacher. This paper deals with an immediate educational environment as a group of situational factors consisting of student characteristics and content/course characteristics and their influence on accepting the technology...
Presents a collection of slides covering the following topics: load-adaptively operated telecommunication networks; telecommunication network energy consumption; network energy efficiency; and ICT production sites.
An increasing focus in K-12 educational outreach is on the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). A challenge in educating students about STEM topics is the ability to communicate the key concepts on a level that engages the students. The student-directed learning approach allows the students to create educational content and the teacher to oversee the development. The...
This paper introduces a comprehensive concept idea for building up a knowledge based innovation framework for scientific research projects in general and especially in the field of material science (IConMas). Regarding the aspect of material science the aim is to develop and establish a knowledge based material innovation method. Both aspects, innovation framework and innovation method, are integrated...
This paper presents a briefing about the introduction of engineering course of the Center of Science and Technology of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, recent tracking, regarding the period from 1997 to 2011, demonstrating the positive background and the obstacles faced during the course's progression, relating all different experiences, from Hands-on to Problem Based Learning...
In the paper we focus on the area of lifelong learning, specifically on continual learning of teachers of Informatics at primary and secondary schools. The teachers had the opportunity to improve their qualification by means of national project executed in 2008–2011 called Further education of the teachers of primary and secondary schools in the subject of Informatics. During the execution of the...
During the winter quarter at RIT a group of professors implemented the initial Game Design course using ideas from Lee Sheldon's book “The Multiplayer Classroom”. At the end of the course my students took a survey and provided direct feedback about how well they thought the course had gone. Overall, the students had a positive view of the experience, however they did provide some surprising observations...
As the knowledge economy rapidly increases, there is a view that national competitiveness is obtained by strengthening the science base and developing Research and Development (R&D) capacity. Especially, intellectual property (IP) rights of global companies have expanded their roles not only in protecting relevant R&D achievements, but also in mediating the utilization of licenses and others'...
To improve education, teachers need to apply strategies based in research on how people learn, and then use technology and other means to leverage these strategies to meet the needs of an ever growing population. This paper briefly surveys proven approaches for active learning, and describes initial efforts to analyze activities to identify reusable patterns that could help researchers understand...
The use of active learning methodologies such as cooperative learning and project-based learning is increasingly widespread in Spain. Project-based learning is particularly suitable for engineering studies. However, planning an issue, using the project-based learning is not an easy task. This paper proposes applying this educational methodology for teaching cross-cutting theme "Patents and Trademarks"...
This study analyzed the problems on the “Mechanical Innovation Design” teaching in higher vocational institutions, proposed to reform the teaching materials and teaching methods of Mechanical Innovation Design with CDIO Engineering education initiative. And the reform has been tested in the experimental class. The teaching reform has made some achievements, improved the innovation capability of the...
Technology integrated innovation is realized by integrating the useful features of two or more technologies to improve one technology or create a new product. The method for technology integrated innovation is discussed. Referring to gene recombination, the conception of technology basis recombination is put forward. A design process model for technology integrated innovation based on technology basis...
Scientific effects, which are knowledge of scientific principles, can be used to transform inputs to outputs and achieve corresponding functions. How to manage and make full use of them to support the conceptual design is an important task. Many papers focused on the expression and retrieval of function ontology, few related to the reasoning rules on the function expansion with attributes of function...
The aim of the Tutorial Action Plan, designed in this experience, is to guide the students in the process of admission to the chosen degree and to the academic life. This Pilot Scheme of a Tutorial Action Plan (PS-TAP), at the Polytechnic University School of Jaén (PUSJ), has been designed following the guidelines of the University of Jaén (UJA) and the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) to support...
As the urban populations increase we have to think more deeply about how to make cities less stressful and more creative for people to live in. Live ability and quality of life are key factors whilst designing and managing energy, water, pollution and waste systems which are sustainable for the long term. New approaches are proposed with recommendations for achieving these goals.
The purpose of this study aims to investigate the students' perspective on teachers' innovative teaching in vocational high schools in Taiwan. The randomly stratified sampling method is used in this study to select 164 vocational high school students from 15 public/private schools in Taiwan. The data can be analyzed using the descriptive statistics, paired-sample t-test, and multi-dimensional scaling...
