The design process followed by mechanical engineers is undergoing significant changes with the development of rapid prototyping techniques [1] and of artificial intelligence (A.I.) supported tools [2]. The job market is highly affected by these changes. Ho ...
The presented research project was carried out through a series of international summer workshops with the vocation of being, at the same time, atelier, construction site, training instrument, and inhabited space. It thus at once presents: an alternative e ...
Economic growth is increasingly explained and driven by knowledge acquisition and firmsâ capabilities to adapt to new evolving situations to fit economic, societal and environmental frames. Strategic behavior of private companies in differentiating and p ...
Working in groups and managing projects are important professional skills for engineers, and there is a growing demand to teach and assess such skills. But what should be taught and when? Tuckman’s famous “stages of development of performing groups” provid ...
The design of hydropower is determined by estimates and long-term forecasts. These forecasts and estimates are highly uncertain and make performance evaluation and design choices challenging. Performance evaluation of hydropower projects is affected by a n ...
A scheduling problem in a real production line with uncertain sequence-dependent set-up times and a random yield is considered. The production line can produce multiple product types as production lots, each of which is composed of a number of products of ...
Work zones are temporary traffic control zones that can potentially cause safety problems. Maintaining safety, while implementing necessary changes on roadways, is an important challenge traffic engineers and researchers have to confront. In this study, th ...
This paper presents an analysis of the role of social media, specifically Twitter, in the context of non-fungible tokens, better known as NFTs. Such emerging technology framing the creation and exchange of digital object, started years ago with early proje ...
This paper relates a comparative approach to the urbanisation processes of the valleys in Brussels and Montreal by the students of the atelier d’urbanisme opérationnel from the graduate master program in urbanism and spatial planning at UCLouvain (Belgium) ...
Hydropower plants are still the most important renewable energy resource worldwide. Hydropower is also the most efficient electricity production and has a very high flexibility in combination with reservoirs. Nevertheless, the construction of hydropower pl ...
