Educating Engineering Students to Address Bias and Discrimination Within Their Project Teams
Roland John Tormey, Siara Ruth Isaac, Nihat Kotluk
What training should engineering students receive to enable them to contribute to reducing bias, discrimination and the persistent lack of diversity in engineering? Collaboration is central to professional engineering work and, consequently, teamwork and g ...
2023Strategic Insights into Engineering Parameters Affecting Cell Type-Specific Uptake of DNA-Based Nanomaterials
Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings, Hugo José Rodriguez Franco, Alice Comberlato, Marianna Mainardi Koga
DNA-based nanomaterials are gaining popularity as uniform and programmable bioengineering tools as a result of recent solutions to their weak stability under biological conditions. The DNA nanotechnology platform uniquely allows decoupling of engineering p ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2022Adaptive isogeometric analysis on two-dimensional trimmed domains based on a hierarchical approach
Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Rafael Vazquez Hernandez, Luca Coradello
The focus of this work is on the development of an error-driven isogeometric framework, capable of automatically performing an adaptive simulation in the context of second- and fourth-order, elliptic partial differential equations defined on two-dimensiona ...
2020Revisiting Archard's wear model: a dialog between scales
We discuss recent advances in developing a fundamental, mechanistic, understanding of the evolution of surface roughness of solids during dry sliding. The time evolution of surface roughness is little understood although it crucially impacts friction and w ...
2020MATHICSE Technical Report: Adaptive isogeometric analysis on two-dimensional trimmed domains based on a hierarchical approach
Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Rafael Vazquez Hernandez, Luca Coradello
The focus of this work is on the development of an error-driven isogeometric framework, capable of automatically performing an adaptive simulation in the context of second- and fourth-order, elliptic partial differential equations defined on two-dimensiona ...
MATHICSE2019Does gender-sensitive teacher training have a place in Engineering Education? Assessing pedagogical training as a step towards gender-inclusive curricula
Roland John Tormey, Siara Ruth Isaac, Cécile Hardebolle, Ingrid Le Duc
Teaching advisors work to sensitize teachers to use inclusive teaching pedagogy because it facilitates learning to all students and makes teachers aware of how the gender composition of a class and its management can promote or hamper student learning and ...
European Society for Engineering Education2018The Stochastic Time-Constrained Net Present Value Problem
Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann
The successful management of capital-intensive development and engineering projects requires a careful timing of the involved cash in- and outflows. To this end, the project management literature proposes to schedule the project activities so as to maximiz ...
Springer International Publishing2015Multi-period analysis of heat integration measures in industrial clusters
François Maréchal, Greta Martha Van Eetvelde, Laurent Gabriel Félix Alexandre Stéphane Bungener, Roman Hackl
TSA (total site analysis) has shown to be an efficient tool for identifying heat integration measures in industrial clusters, leading to the optimal design of utility systems and energy bill reduction. In order to justify investments, any proposed utility ...
2015The Formal and Hidden Curricula of Ethics in Engineering Education
Roland John Tormey, Siara Ruth Isaac, Isabelle Barbara Marie-Hélène Cardia, Cécile Hardebolle, Ingrid Le Duc
In recent years, a commitment to professional ethics and professional responsibility has been included among the learning outcomes required of engineering education programmes in many counties. So, how should engineering ethics be taught? There is evidence ...
2015Semantic technologies for engineering asset life cycle management
The use of semantic technologies and ontologies is becoming more and more popular in engineering applications and particularly in product modelling. Still, the use is limited in academia and applications are of a small scale. In this paper we present the r ...
