چکیده

In view of the current socio-economic context, in which innovation is a key driving force for sustainable development, which challenges are facing Technical Universities to enhance and nurture innovation and better contribute to help developing and exploiting engineering, science and technology? This broad question has motivated the work behind the present paper, which considers the development of university research and education on engineering policy and the management of technology to complement current engineering disciplines. It is argued that these areas represent an emerging engineering discipline, which helps promoting learning trajectories for the inclusive development of society, but also to contribute for the use of new metrics for knowledge. The analysis builds on the experience of developing post-graduate education in engineering policy and management of technology at the Instituto Superior Tecnico of the Technical University of Lisbon, in a context much influenced by a dynamic of change and a necessary balance between the creation and diffusion of knowledge.

Performance of a metallic gas diffusion layer for PEM fuel cells

A novel metallic porous medium with improved thermal and electrical conductivities and controllable porosity was developed based on micro/nano echnology for its potential application in PEM fuel cells. In this work to demonstrate its applicability, the gas diffusion medium, made of 12.5 m hick copper foil, was tested in an operational fuel cell. The small thickness and straight-pore feature of ...
