Cden/rcci: a Canadian Network to Enhance Design Engi- Neering Education
نویسنده
چکیده
Design engineering is critical to the well being of every developed country. The value, efficiency, environmental impact, and consumer appeal of a product are all set by design. There is even evidence that design impacts students’ intellectual development positively [1]. However, design practice, research, and education have not been highly valued in Canadian universities. Within this environment, academics hired to teach design find themselves having to concentrate on engineering science based research and publication in order to assure advancement within the academy. Those academics who persist in teaching design often report a markedly higher workload that do those who teach non-design-oriented courses [2].

Comparative Study of the Academic Vocabulary Content of Electronic Engi-neering Corpora, GE Materials and M.S. Entrance Examinations
The importance of vocabulary learning has been underlined in the field of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) because non-English majors who require reading English texts in their fields of study have to expand their English vocabulary knowledge much more efficiently than ordinary ESL/EFL learners. Since academic vocabulary instruction in Iranian universities is realized through the use of Gene...
متن کاملOrganizing Information for the Canadian Design Engineering Network
The author reports on a universal searchable index of Web resources for design engineering. The project is part of the Web site for the Canadian Design Engineering Network (CDEN), a recently funded national initiative to provide a mechanism for design engineering practitioners, educators, and others to access recent information on the field, to collaborate, and to help student learn design engi...
متن کاملA Time Series Analysis Method for Assessing Engi- neering Design Processes Using a CAD Tool
This paper proposes a novel computational approach based on time series analysis to assess engineering design processes using a CAD tool. To collect research data without disrupting a design learning process, design actions and artifacts are continuously logged as time series by the CAD tool behind the scenes while students are working on a design challenge. These fine-grained data can be used ...

This paper designs a reliability distribution network with limited capacity under partial and complete facility disruptions. To increase the reliability of the distribution network, a new mixed integer linear programing model is developed by considering multiple mitigation strategies including diversification, fortification, and transshipment. The distribution network constitutes of reliable di...
متن کاملCell Adhesion On Surfaces Of Varying Topographies
Micro-topography of a surface in?uences cell adhesion and proliferation. To improve adhesion, polyelectrolyte multilay ers (PEMs) are built on patterned support layers to increase surface Wettability, thereby improving attachment and spreading of the cells. Physical parameters, such as pattern siZe and pitch, in part, regulate cell adhesion and prolifera tion. Varying the surface topography pro...
