also addresses sustainability and, in particular, the repurposing of existing objects thathas recently gained popular attention in the design community with projects involving shippingcontainers and other existing or found objects as innovative options for living and workenvironments.Specifically, this article delves into the reuse and design of aging trains to develop housing andwork environments in a specific community. This paper examines this topic within theframework of the literature that speaks to repurposing and adaptive re-use in the design field andplaces this project within the continuum of that context, meanwhile exploring the question ofhow to develop a suitable proof of concept that can leverage this into a studio or capstone

In thesummer of 2002, after receiving guidance from their domain mentors, REU students examined avariety of issues including the following: Bias in educational studies: Can we trust our data? Economic disparities among schools and resource allocation: Is it right to develop exciting new science curricula for schools who will not be able to afford the expensive equipment that the new curricula might require? What happens to curricular innovations when grant money expires? College students as human subjects: Are college students exploited in the name of scientific research? Are VaNTH’s

Furthermore, engineers have an understanding of the impact of design options on the performance of the entire system. • Engineering Technicians apply engineering principles to the routine design of components in a system conceptualized by an engineer—the focus is on the application of established design principles developed by engineers.The curriculum proposed herein is for the development of engineers.

this program is to provide professional development for UW College ofEngineering faculty in the area of pedagogical innovation. We are conducting research on theCELT program in order to answer the following questions: 1. What are concerns of engineering faculty regarding their teaching activities? 2. What types of information do engineering faculty value when learning about effective teaching practices? 3. How do engineering faculty describe their concerns (e.g., language, key phrasing)? 4. What processes are effective for supporting engineering faculty (e.g., helping articulate their concerns, interpreting research across education and engineering communities)?The premise of our research methodology is that CELT’s
