(eitherimplicitly or explicitly) that the public does not understand or appreciate engineering becausethey are uninformed or misinformed and that, consequently, the provision of more information(in the form of scientific literacy or the benefits of engineering) will lead to increasedunderstanding and support for engineering. In that way, such initiatives are enactments of thedeficit model. The deficit model (DM) is a term from the field of Science and TechnologyStudies (STS) used to describe initiatives/projects that are based upon a belief in the public’slack of knowledge and scientific literacy and seek to remedy it by providing more, and correct,information. However, a large body of literature has now identified significant problems with thedeficit

To improve on this, it is critical to develop awarenessamong new technology developers about different stakeholders within the bioeconomy, as wellas about the non-technical impacts of their work within a broader context.

use of active learning, recognizing “that true learning resultsfrom doing things and reflecting on the outcomes, not from passively receiving information.” [1,p. 111] In design education specifically, Project-Based Learning (PBL) has become the de factostandard approach of active learning across engineering curricula [2]. Its success, however,depends on student motivation - without it, students may struggle to engage fully, potentiallylimiting the positive outcomes of the pedagogy.The key feature of active learning is that it is learner-centred and therefore places moreresponsibility on the student than teacher-centred methods. Past research has described severalbarriers to student engagement with innovative active learning approaches

As the wheels spin, thegenerator converts the mechanical energy into electricity, which can then be stored in a battery orused directly to power the seat heaters.In the late sixteenth century the more conventional looking wheelchair was adapted with a self-propelled chair being manufactured in 1655 [1]. The wheelchair then began to have a largerpurpose for medical needs. Slowly wheelchairs began being electrically powered.

Because tight fillet radii weaken the shaft, larger fillet radii are recommended. Thosepoints would lead to shafts that are more economical to produce and less likely to undergo fatiguefailure, without compromising key strength.IntroductionThis project arose due to difficulties with teaching and learning design of keyed joints in thecontext of a project-centered machine design course; that context is worth describing here.
