Paper ID #27849Transition Zone: a Training Ethos Designed to Scaffold a Ph.D. SegreeDr. Carmen Torres-S´anchez, Loughborough University Dr Torres-S´anchez is an Associate Professor at Loughborough University, England, United Kingdom, and the Executive Director of the Centre of Doctoral Training in Embedded Intelligence (CDT-EI). She is the architect of the novel Doctoral Transition ZoneTM Training ethos. She has been working in industry- informed, academically-led education for more than 10 years. Her research interests are in the design and manufacture of multifunctional materials with tailored properties to meet
ASTMstandards for tensile properties of plastics. The model number of extensometer used in the test is634.12E-54.Before the tensile tests, the width and thickness of the center section of each of the specimens aremeasured then entered into the testing program. The tensile specimen is loaded into the testingmachine by attaching the clamps to both ends and the distance between the clamps is measuredand entered into the program. The tensile strain rate applied is 0.2 in/min (0.0847 mm/s). Theprogram records tensile load and elongation, which can be converted to stress – strain curves.Results and discussionThe fractured tensile samples are shown in Figure 1. In general, the samples show brittle fracturedue to relatively small deformation. In order to

Undergraduate Engineering Education – WIPThis work-in-progress investigates the applicability and relevance of Harvard professor HowardGardner’s theory of multiple intelligences (MIs) to undergraduate engineering education.Gardner developed the theory of multiple intelligences in the early 1980’s, initially identifyingseven distinct intelligences (also referred to as learning styles in the MI literature): 1) visual-spacial; 2) bodily-kinesthetic; 3) musical; 4) interpersonal; 5) intrapersonal; 6) linguistic; and 7)logical-mathematical. Subsequent researchers have sought to add to this list (for example,“naturalistic”), but only Gardner’s original seven MIs will be addressed within this investigation.According to

How to design learning so it becomes natural,commonplace, even predictable?The show goes on to consider the role of the teacher:Now, you might think that this makes teachers unimportant. You'd be completely wrong. Theteacher is anything but a bystander. That's because it's the teacher who designs the world inwhich the student learns.The goal of this paper has been to present the design of a better box in which students can learn.The work is ongoing.References[1] L.
