New Media teaching and learning is on everyone’s lips at the moment. It must be analyzed whether e-learning and multimedia with its possibilities can make a lasting contribution to the university teaching. New Media will influence both, the presence teaching and the self-learning at home. This paper deals with the educational dimension of the new media and with didactic models and learning theo...

The paper presents an approach to teaching design for environment (DFE) in the context of a product design and development course. The teaching method has been applied in classes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for graduate engineering, business, and design students. Our approach includes a step-by-step DFE process and utilizes a recent Herman Miller chair as a case study to illust...

Getting students to read, digest and practice material is difficult in any discipline, but even more so for math, since many students have to cope with motivational problems and feelings of inadequacy, often due to prior unsuccesful training and teaching methods. In this paper we look at the opportunities offered by computer graphics, visual programming and game design as an alternative for tra...

Semiconductor microcavities have attracted much recent interest because they utilize simultaneously 2D confinement of both excitons and photons in the same heterostructure. Strong coupling of these two states produces unique dynamics that can be well described in a quasiparticle state, the cavity polaritons. Their dispersion relation is dramatically modified with an apparent trap in k-space off...
