  2. 6. Environmental management systems – a way towards sustainable development in universities : ”It was difficult at first … then we started talking with our colleagues and we saw it in a longer perspective”

    Author : Kaisu Sammalisto; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Environmental management systems; higher education; sustainable development; indicator; training; communication; education; curriculum; policy evaluation; intervention theory; industry.; Industrial engineering and economy; Industriell teknik och ekonomi; Industrial organisation; administration and economics; Industriell organisation; administration och ekonomi;

    Abstract : The economic development in the world today makes increased consumption of goods and travelling available for more people around the world than ever before. This results, however, also in increased production and spreading of substances that are hazardous both to human health and to the ecosystem globally. READ MORE

  4. 7. Child–Robot Interaction in Education

    Author : Sofia Serholt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; child–robot interaction; education; robotics; ethics; responsible research and innovation; stakeholders; ethics;

    Abstract : Advances in the field of robotics in recent years have enabled the deployment of robots in a multitude of settings, and it is predicted that this will continue to increase, leading to a profound impact on society in the future. This thesis takes its starting point in educational robots; specifically the kind of robots that are designed to interact socially with children. READ MORE

  5. 8. Mechatronics Engineering Education

    Author : Martin Grimheden; Mats Hanson; Bernardo Wagner; KTH; []
    Keywords : mechatronics; thematic subject; synergy; engineering education; international collaboration; experimental learning; didactical analysis; mekatronik; tematiskt ämne; synergi; ingenjörsutbildning; internationellt samarbete; experimentellt lärande; didaktisk analys; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Since its emergence in the late 1960s, mechatronics has become well-established as an academic subject, and is now researched and taught at a large number of universities worldwide. The most widely-used definition of the subject today is centered on the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering, electronics, and intelligent computer control. READ MORE

  6. 9. Exploring the dual nature of engineering education : Opportunities and challenges in integrating the academic and professional aspects in the curriculum

    Author : Kristina Edström; Anette Kolmos; Frederik V. Christiansen; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; engineering education; professional education; dual nature; engineering education development; CDIO Initiative; CDIO approach; CDIO Standards; PBL; engineering education research; Carl Richard Söderberg; organisational gravity; institutional logics; Technology and Learning; Teknik och lärande;

    Abstract : Engineering education is both academic, emphasising theory in a range of subjects, and professional, preparing students for engineering practice. Ideally, these aspects are also in a meaningful relationship in the curriculum, but the dual nature ideal is simultaneously a source of tensions. READ MORE

  7. 10. Wicked Problems in Engineering Education : Preparing Future Engineers to Work for Sustainability

    Author : Johanna Lönngren; Magdalena Svanström; Åke Ingerman; Tom Adawi; John Holmberg; Marie Paretti; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; wicked problem; engineering education; sustainability; phenomenography; assessment; rubric; design-based research; action research; perspective shift; ill-structured problems; problem-solving; didactics of natural science; naturvetenskapens didaktik;

    Abstract : Most engineering education today does not adequately prepare students to contribute to sustainability. For example, engineering students often do not learn how to address complex and ill-structured sustainability problems that involve different stakeholders, value conflicts,and uncertainty; such problems are also called wicked problems.
