Meta-analysis is a powerful yet underused tool in cognitive science. It allows researchers to leverage entire bodies of literature to get a broad and quantitative overview of a particular phenomenon, thereby promoting theory development, and to make more precise estimates of effect sizes, which enables robust planning of prospective studies (e.g. through poweranalyses). In this tutorial, we wil...

Talent management is usually not well-supported by traditional curricula, because university courses are typically designed for a large number of average students and not for the few outstanding ones. In this paper, we share our experiences on running a talent mentoring program in IT security at our university. We describe the whole process from increasing awareness of IT security among student...

E-participation applications enable online participation of citizens and interested stakeholder groups in political debates and strategic decisionmaking. The tools, channels and devices through which online participation takes place require proper design to support citizens, politicians and other actors. To incorporate the needs of these actors into the functionalities of an eParticipation plat...

In order to address this need, the minority Ph.D. project representing AfricanAmericans, Hispanic-Americans, and Native American...

Lafayette College, with strong programs in engineering and the liberal arts, requires sophomore students to enroll in a “VaST” (Values and Science/Technology) course. These courses incorporate approaches from the engineering viewpoint and ideas from the social sciences and humanities. As a result of taking a VaST course, students should be better able to see and understand engineering and scien...

The paper reports on some of the main outcomes of this undertaking, presented within an integrating framework that brings together curriculum content, didact...

This chapter provides the engineer and the researcher with correlations and models for the prediction of the critical aspects of the boiling heat transfer of mixtures. This chapter offers a reliable, hands-on resource for solving common problems across pool boiling and flow boiling applications such as miscible mixtures, refrigerant/lubricant mixtures, additives, and refrigerant/nanolubricants....

There is a consensus in the international community that rural electrifi cation and, in particular, the productive use of electricity contributes to poverty alleviation. At the same time, eff orts to evaluate the impacts of development projects have increased substantially. This paper provides a hands-on guide for designing evaluation studies regarding the impacts of productive electricity usag...
