متن کاملMechatronics - An Education Approach towards Product Engineering
This paper shows that Mechatronics is more than just combining mechanical, electrical and information processing elements. Although state of the art control engineering works from a systems point of view, it becomes evident that mechatronics design is much more than understanding interacting phenomena of the different building elements, transferring these phenomena into abstract models and mani...
متن کاملA Road Map for Civil Engineers towards Bridge Engineering Through Academic Education and Professional Training
It is common in many countries that engineers having an academic degree in Civil Engineering are appointed responsible for different tasks related to Bridge Engineering. However, there are serious questions about whether formal university courses in civil engineering could cover the needs of a bridge engineer to fulfill his or her job successfully. Regarding the recent significant advances in t...
متن کاملGaps in sustainability education
Purpose – This paper aims to examine how both the amount and type of coursework impact students’ conceptualizations of sustainability. Previous research demonstrates that academic coursework influences students’ environmental attitudes, yet few studies have examined the impact of coursework on how students conceptualize “sustainability”. Design/methodology/approach – Data are examined from the ...
