According to the ISOstandards on LCA, it can assist in decision making in industry, government, or non-governmentorganizations e.g., strategic planning, priority setting, product, and process design or redesign.LCA is also important for the selection of relevant indicators of environmental performance andeven in marketing from the perspective of the eco-labeling scheme or environmental productdeclarations.Clearly, the field of sustainability analysis and LCA plays a critical role in identifying theopportunities to improve the environmental aspects of products and services at various

In the context of atransdisciplinary design education course, we used in-class critique as a type of metacognitioninstruction. Through thematic coding of student reflective writings, this qualitative study revealspatterns of metacognition that emerged as student teams identified problem spaces, conductedproblem framing research, and proposed solutions. Results indicated that while some studentswere prompted by the critiques to advance in cycles of metacognitive Knowledge andRegulation, the metacognitive action of planning was largely overlooked

Education, 2021 Continuous Improvement in Academic Computing Programs is Rarely ComprehensiveAbstractRapid advancements in computing require academic computing departments to continuallyimprove. According to the literature, many of those departments claim to have institutedcomprehensive Continuous Improvement (CI) plans by building their own or using externallydeveloped tools to handle the process. This paper provides an exhaustive examination of the“comprehensiveness” of those comprehensive CI plans in the current literature and whether allcomponents of CI (360-CI) are addressed. We identify eight unique CI components, but we donot find any documentation of implementing all of them in a single program. The

Therefore, aswith many other researchers, we consider the Spring semester to be an example of remotelearning rather than planned online learning [3].In October 2020, the Chronicle of Higher Education conducted a survey among faculty membersin US institutions to gain
