Abstract Engineering designers are encouraged to consider relevant contextual factors throughout their design processes. However, specific practices for incorporating context into processes lacking in the existing literature, and curricula related use of during is limited. As a preliminary step toward characterizing novice engineering designers' factors, we qualitatively coded 10 mechanical cap...

Forest and tree-based landscapes represent complex social-ecological systems. In tropical subtropical regions, these are home to hundreds of millions resource-poor people. Gaining a better understanding how contextual factors influence forest-poverty dynamics is essential for the design, targeting implementation effective policy instruments interventions alleviate poverty. this article we prese...
