through photosynthesis by future biomass crops.In 2011, it was discovered that bioenergy was used as an energy source more than oil in Sweden.The Swedish Energy Agency found that 31.7% of the energy used was generated from biomasswhile 30.8% of the energy originated from oil. One of the principal reasons for this increase inbioenergy is the fact that biomass is the primary energy source in the district heating sector, asector that demands more than half of the overall heat demand in residential areas. 7 Figure 5shows the different sources of energy in Sweden in 2011 (Sweden Energy Use 2010, May 10).

two data sets and with a focus on factorsthat have resulted in changes in teaching approach in the years separating the studies. Thefinal section contains our conclusions and outlines areas for future exploration.BackgroundThe approaches to teaching inventory (ATI) has been developed and refined over the lastdecade.1 It has its origins in phenomenographic studies of teachers’ attitudes to teachingand learning in the mid 1990’s. Prosser and Trigwell advance the view that there is afundamental qualitative difference between a student-centric and teacher-centric view of thelearning process [4, page 408]. They argue that a student centered approach to facilitatinglearning focuses on the nature of the learning itself, placing the main emphasis on

presentation of such an equation must necessarily beaccompanied by a definition of the terms along with their units: RMR is the metal removal rate inmm3/s or in3/min, I is the current in amps, and Tm is the melting temperature of the work metal inC or F.Perhaps the most rigorous treatment of units is in the thermal sciences. Most thermodynamics,fluid mechanics, and heat transfer texts use unit conversion factors to demonstrate a rigorouscancellation process in example problems. Students are left with no doubts as to where numberscome from. In spite of the rigor with which units are treated, there is no common non-SI systemused in thermal science texts. Fluid mechanics texts by Gerhardt [5] and Pritchard [12] use theBG system, with the derived mass

Inductive teaching techniques may alsobe called learner-centered or student-centered since they require students take more responsibilityfor their own learning compared to traditional lecture based or deductive teaching methods, can bemore interactive and have been found to promote student engagement.1Debate has been researched as a pedagogical method used to improve critical thinking skills andoral communication skills since the 1990’s.3,4 Learner-centered education programs such asnursing and pharmacy, marketing

Each student selected which of the two types of cancer s/he would explore.Overall, this introductory project had several underlying goals that aimed to lay a foundation forthe entire course. First, this introductory project was to provide opportunities for the students tobuild skills in examining the disease, device, and patient pathways of cancer. In subsequentprojects, students would further refine their skills and apply them to other

Based on the identity model, weexpect that graduate students’ engineering identities will be affected by three factors: engineeringcompetence/performance, engineering interest, and recognition as an engineer by others. On theother hand, previous work on research identity does not provide a framework for measuringresearch identity

Likewise,engineers in academia as well as corporate and government labs carry out primary research,discovering the principles underlying complex artificial systems17. The line has been blurred.Nonetheless, for the typical engineer at a company and the typical scientist at a research lab,Billington’s distinction that “[s]cience is discovery[;] engineering is design” restated as“[s]cientists study the natural [while] engineers create the artificial”18 still stands in the majorityof cases.In creating the artificial, engineers design products that

According to social critic Neil Postman, “It has within its physical form apredisposition toward being used in certain ways and not others.”15 Each medium“massages”—and hence changes—the information that flows through it.2 “The medium,”McLuhan famously declared, “is the

Participants learn whether they canmove toward their shared outcome through the collective action they design.
