This paper is about Case Based Instruction (CBI) and not about computer implemented Case Based Reasoning systems, as some readers tend to assume. CBI is a very old method of teaching, particularly in the studio setting. Usually it takes the form of precedent analysis. An empirical study was conducted in order to better understand how experienced designers use cases in the course of a brief desi...

The research was conducted to compare the impacts of problem-based learning (PBL) and example-based learning (EBL) on the learning performance in an engineering domain. The research was implemented by means of experimental design. Specifically, a two-group experiment with a preand post-test design was used in this research. A total of 37 students were randomly assigned to PBL and EBL groups. A ...

this paper addresses the concept of co 2 laser beam machining (lbm) and development of intelligent knowledge base system (ikbs) for co 2 lbm. feature based design is used for acquiring design specification. for optimization of laser beam machining computer based concurrent engineering environment is used. the ikbs is linked to feature base cad system. the ikbs is also linked to material databas...

Innovations in network and information technology have transformed traditional classroom lectures into new approaches that have given universities the opportunity to create a virtual laboratory. However, there is no systematic framework in existing approaches for the development of virtual laboratories. Further, developing a virtual laboratory from scratch is time consuming and costly. This art...

Abstract This chapter describes the research conducted in Lower Danube case study to understand role of natural assurance schemes complex natural, economic and social contexts. In order improve accuracy, replicability scalability scheme be developed potentially implemented, we have concentrated our efforts on Dabuleni-Potelu-Corabia (DPC) enclosure, a land reclamation area exposed water-related...

Increased tourist pressures can cause the deterioration of nature-based destinations and adversely affect visitor satisfaction. This study aims to identify how public participation using mobile devices on-site assist in assessing future design scenarios for a popular destination, within short day trip from Christchurch Aotearoa New Zealand. An online survey participants’ at Kura Tāwhiti Castle ...
