The impact of different methods of increasing the intensity of compassion in engineering ethics cases
Roland John Tormey, Nihat Kotluk
Despite the growing interest in emotions in engineering education, empirical research on incorporating them into engineering ethics education is limited. Therefore, we designed this experimental study to assess how different methods for integrating compass ...
2024“But of course i’m going to look happy” or “He needed to know I was angry”? Comparing use of emotional labour in teamwork in engineering and hospitality students
Roland John Tormey, Nihat Kotluk
Being able to work effectively in a team is a vital professional skill but how do students in different disciplines, engineering and hospitality, display their emotions when working together? We investigated their self-reported use of emotional labour stra ...
EAPRIL - European Association for Practitioner Research on Improving Learning2024Ionic wind amplifier for energy-efficient air propulsion: Prototype design, development, and evaluation
Julien Reymond, Amirmohammad Rajabi, Lei Xie, Donato Rubinetti
Ionic wind, produced by electrohydrodynamic (EHD) processes, holds promise for efficient airflow generation using minimal power. However, practical applications have been limited by relatively low flow rates. This study introduces a novel prototype device ...
Amsterdam2024Fusing Pre-existing Knowledge and Machine Learning for Enhanced Building Thermal Modeling and Control
Buildings play a pivotal role in the ongoing worldwide energy transition, accounting for 30% of the global energy consumption. With traditional engineering solutions reaching their limits to tackle such large-scale problems, data-driven methods and Machine ...
EPFL2024Educating 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 ...
2023Making Bridges Sustainable
Lack of incentives mainly explains why the implementation of novel methods and technologies in bridge engineering practice is generally postponed by the engineering community despite the urgent need to advance also bridge engineering to meet the objectives ...
Taylor and Francis / CRC Press2023Splitting probabilities and mean first passage times across multiple thresholds of jump-and-drift transition paths
We apply the stochastic-trajectory analysis to derive exact expressions for the mean first passage times of jump-and-drift transition paths across two or more consecutive thresholds. We perform the analysis of the crossing statistics in terms of dimensionl ...
2023Instrumented gripper with tuneable operational range for micro/meso manipulation
Robotization and industrial automation are important fields of research and development in engineering. At micro scales, industrial automation development requires specific tools to handle components and perform precise assembly, etc. Therefore, the develo ...
2023Engineering Materials for Neurotechnology
Neurotechnology applies methods and devices to mitigate the burden of neurological and mental disorders. In particular, neural interfaces establish a long-term, seamless, symbiotic integration between implants and neural tissue. Materials play a pivotal ro ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2023Compassion and Engineering Students’ Moral Reasoning: The Emotional Experience of Engineering Ethics Cases
Roland John Tormey, Nihat Kotluk
Background: There has been an increase in interest in emotion in engineering and science ethics education. There is also evidence that emotional content in case studies may improve students’ learning and enhance awareness, understanding, and motivation con ...
