2. 1. Blowing Agents in Rigid Polyurethane Foam - Analytical Studies - Technical and Environmental Aspects

   Author : Magdalena Svanström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; insulation; ageing; district heating pipes; cyclopentane; CFC-11; carbon dioxide; diffusion; blowing agents; polyurethane foam;

   Abstract : Rigid polyurethane foam is used in many different applications because of its high insulating capacity. CFC-11 has been the predominant blowing agent due to its advantageous properties, especially its low thermal conductivity. READ MORE

5. 3. Engineering students’ ways of relating to wicked sustainability problems

   Author : Johanna Lönngren; Magdalena Svanström; Åke Ingerman; John Holmberg; Arnold Pears; Sweden Gothenburg Chalmers University of Technology Department of Applied IT; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Engineering education; Engineering students; Wicked sustainability problems; Sustainable development; Perspective; Phenomenography; Complexity; didactics of natural science; naturvetenskapens didaktik;

   Abstract : This licentiate thesis constitutes a part of a larger research effort that aims to provide a theoretical framework for understanding and working with engineering students’ ways of relating to wicked sustainability problems (WSPs) on the basis of conceptual, empirical, and practical considerations. Thus, the project aims to contribute to an understanding of how engineering education can support students in developing the capabilities that they need to actively participate in discussions about sustainable development and to constructively deal with WSPs.

6. 4. 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.

7. 5. Life cycle assessment in the development of forest products : Contributions to improved methods and practices

   Author : Gustav Sandin; Magdalena Svanström; Greg Peters; Mats Westin; Annica Pilgård; Michael Narodoslawsky; RISE; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; R D; LCA; Life cycle assessment; wood; forest product; forestry; impact assessment; scenario modelling; end-of-life modelling; allocation; multi-functional; planetary boundaries; life cycle inventory; life cycle impact assessment; environmental assessment;

   Abstract : The prospect of reducing environmental impacts is a key driver for the research and development (R&D) of new forest products. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is often used for assessing the environmental impact of such products, e.g. for the purpose of guiding R&D. READ MORE
