3. Connect : Modelling Learning to Facilitate Linking Models and the Real World trough Lab-Work in Electric Circuit Courses for Engineering Students
Sammanfattning : A recurring question in science and engineering education is why the students do not link knowledge from theoretical classes to the real world met in laboratory courses.Mathematical models and visualisations are widely used in engineering and engineering education. LÄS MER
4. The Sharing Economy in Cities : Institutionalisation and Sustainability
Sammanfattning : The sharing economy is a novel way of distributing physical resources facilitated by online platforms where temporary access is given to goods owned by peers or organisations. It has become prominent in urban areas where a large accumulation of resources in close proximity and the ubiquity of information and communications technology enable it to grow. LÄS MER
