Translator Trainees’ Reading Literacy, Problem Solving, and Translation Skills A Comparative Study
Authors: Kovács Gabriella , Harangus Katalin
Published: January 2020

Linguistic and cultural mediators, such as translators, interpreters, and language teachers, need complex and well-developed language skills in all the languages they work with. In this study, we examine the connections and correlations among the following skills: reading literacy in native language, reading literacy in foreign language, problem solving and translation. Three of these skills (reading in native and foreign language and problem solving) are evaluated on a three-level scale based on the three cognitive processes used in Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) assessments (location of information, understanding, evaluation and reflection) (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development – OECD 2018). The methodology of measuring reading comprehension in native language and problem-solving skills has already been developed and applied by our research group (Pletl 2019, Harangus 2018); therefore, after assessing the foreign language reading literacy and translation skills, we will be able to analyse the translator trainees’ results based on the aforementioned three-level scale and examine possible connections and correlations between the different but interrelated skills. With an interdisciplinary approach, this study concentrates on revealing the overlaps and meeting points, the spaces in between the use of these skills.

Authors: Devnath Bappy Chandra , Biswas Satyendra N.
Published: January 2020

At present the processing power of the digital electronic chip is enormous and that has been possible because of the continuous improvement of the design methodology and fabrication technology. So, the data processing capability of the chip is increased significantly. Data processing in the electronic chip means the arithmetic operation on that data. For that reason, ALU is present in any processor. Full adder is one of the critical components of arithmetic unit. Improvement of the full adder is necessary for improving the computational performance of a chip. In order to design an efficient full adder, designer should choose an appropriate logic style. In this research, two new model of full-adder circuits are designed and analyzed using Pass Transistor logic in order to reduce power consumption and increase operational speed. The first proposed adder consists of 8 transistors and the second one consists of 10 transistors. LTSPICE is employed for simulating the proposed circuits using16nm low power high-k strained silicon transistor model. The overall performance of the proposed adder circuits and comparative results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed model.
A survey in the design and control of automated guided vehicle systems
Authors: Vancea A. P. , Orha I.
Published: January 2020

Automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) play an important role in the small-scale industry as well as the largescale industry in handling materials inside factories from one place to another. In the last days, the materials to be handled are more numerous and as production and demand increase, it strongly influences the transport of materials in desperate need of a vehicle to distribute, position the materials within the industry. AGVs are generally installed with wires at ground level and signals are transmitted through them to be controlled. Due to the emergence of the AGV, the workload of the human being gradually decreased and the production efficiency increased. Thus, the need for an AGV has become more technologically important in the advanced robotic world. Normally, these systems are integrated into a global production system, where is a need to make direct changes in the design and planning of the floor store to get most of them. But in the rapidly changing production system and the adaptable floor store, the implementation of AGV has become very important and difficult, because it depends on many systems, such as wires, frequency, total production, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an independent AGV, which can operate on its own and make decisions based on changes in the environment.

Authors: Moretti Eric Henrique , Coelho Gustavo Gonçalves , Coelho João Paulo
Published: January 2020

Development of increasingly efficient production methods is a competiveness driving factor for any company. Today, many of these improvements include the integration of technology-based solutions into processes traditionally operated by humans. In this context, the present work aims to report the controller performance of a prototype developed for semi-automatic sewing stations. This project was fostered by “Factory Play”, a Portuguese company that produces inflatable structures, under the technical supervision of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança. At the present time, the sewing station travel speed is regulated by an embedded PID controller that has been previously tuned using classical methods. However, even if the overall performance is currently acceptable, additional experiments were made regarding the use of evolutionary based algorithms to attain a better dynamic response and flexibility. This article present the results obtained using those methods where it is possible to confirm that the use of evolutionary algorithm will simplify the design process while consistently leading to a suitable solution.
Modern Management of Hypertensive Emergencies
Authors: Marton-Popovici Monica
Published: January 2020

Hypertensive emergencies (HE) represent critical conditions in which extremely high blood pressure values are accompanied by acute hypertension-mediated organ damage. In this clinical setting, the main therapeutic goal is represented by the immediate reduction of blood pressure, in order to limit the extension or promote the regression of target organ damage. At present, HE are classified according to the condition or target organ involved, into: (1) malignant hypertension with or without thrombotic microangiopathy; (2) coronary ischemia or acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema; (3) acute stroke or hypertensive encephalopathy; (4) acute aortic dissection or aneurysm; and (5) eclampsia or severe preeclampsia/HELLP syndrome. The management of these conditions is different in relation to the complex pathophysiology involved in each of these types. This mini-review presents the main characteristics and management strategy for different forms of HE, revealing the particularities of management strategy for each of them.

Effect of Number and Position of Rotational Friction Dampers on Seismic Response of Steel Frame
Authors: Oance Ionuț-Sergiu , Gelmambet Sunai
Published: January 2020

This paper deals with effect of number and position of friction dampers on seismic response of 2D steel frame. For the present study four structures with six storeys are subjected to a time history analysis. For each story are using two, four and six friction dampers with different positions keeping slip load and stiffness constant. To study the effect of number and position of dampers in structures, are analysed the time period, top roof displacement, maximum base shear and percentage energy dissipated in accordance with energy induced in the frame. The results indicate that number and placement of damper affects the structural response. A large number of dampers do not always lead to best benefit in terms of energy dissipation.

A Novel Use of the Body-Soul Comparison Emerges in Neochalcedonian Christology
Authors: Wood Jordan Daniel
Published: January 2020

Comparing the union of Christ’s two natures to the body-soul union in a human being was a typical way among patristic authors to conceive the Incarnation. I argue that a novel use of the comparison emerged among Neochalcedonian theologians, esp. Leontius of Byzantium and Maximus Confessor. Their novelty lay in the concurrent refinement of the nature-hypostasis distinction required by Chalcedon. That refinement – particularly the shift from conceiving natures as self-subsistent to subsistent only in hypostases – opened unprecedented ways to make the anthropological comparison. Now there was a new, univocal tertium comparationis between Christ and the human being: in each case it’s a hypostasis alone that makes two distinct natures really one. Neochalcedonian novelty supports the broader thesis that post-Chalcedonian Christology had profound impact on philosophy (cf. Johannes Zachhuber). In this case, Neochalcedonian Christology granted far greater insight into the fundamental mystery of the human person.
Equity Risk: Measuring Return Volatility Using Historical High-Frequency Data
Authors: Alan Chow , Kyre Lahtinen
Published: January 2020

Market Volatility has been investigated at great lengths, but the measure of historical volatility, referred to as the relative volatility, is inconsistent. Using historical return data to calculate the volatility of a stock return provides a measure of the realized volatility. Realized volatility is often measured using some method of calculating a deviation from the mean of the returns for the stock price, the summation of squared returns, or the summation of absolute returns. We look to the stocks that make up the DJIA, using tick-by-tick data from June 2015 - May 2016. This research helps to address the question of what is the better measure of realized volatility? Several measures of volatility are used as proxies and are compared at four estimation time intervals. We review these measures to determine a closer/better fit estimator to the true realized volatility, using MSE, MAD, Diebold-Mariano test, and Pitman Closeness. We find that when using a standard deviation based on transaction level returns, shorter increments of time, while containing some levels of noise, are better estimates of volatility than longer increments.
Ambidexterity – A New Paradigm for Organizations Facing Complexity
Authors: Claudia Ogrean , Mihaela Herciu
Published: January 2020

Complexity is rapidly and inexorably leading the global economy towards new configurations and new dynamics; within this (ever fluid and unstable) framework, the strategic dualities that govern organizations and shape their strategic choices are not only multiplying but also interacting and generating unprecedented challenges: new pairs of (apparent) paradoxes occur, sophisticated interdependencies take place amongst them, and therefore new approaches in search for strategic solutions are imperatively asked. Against this background, the main goal of the paper is to suggest a paradigm of organizational ambidexterity – which gradually integrates various angles and valences into partial solutions and eventually comes up with a complex construct incorporating different levels of organizational ambidexterity and multiple patterns of ambidextrous behavior – able to (dynamically) position organizations on the coordinates of the complex global economy, while providing them with the essential tools needed to achieve strategic competitiveness. Thus, by addressing a major organizational challenge (strategic competitiveness) through the lens of complexity (seen both as defining feature of nowadays and science that provides the instruments to deal with it) and advocating for the solution of ambidexterity, the paper will enrich the theory of strategic management and will offer businesses an alternative to their strategic approaches.

Authors: Adriana Vintean
Published: January 2020

The aim of the paper is to provide information based on data collected from the review of different reports about tourism, a fast moving and competitive industry, an ongoing challenge for the future when travelling is easier and the tourist has more choices and is more aspirational. We value the tourism of experience and that of niche, as the consumers are more cultivated and selective, traveling for self-discovery. New groups of consumers are willing to spend their hard- earned money for authentic travel adventure. Each experience is different and has psychological impacts, the authentic experience being obtained through identifying some new interactions of the tourist with the respective destination. Within this segment regarding the emotional impact we value the satisfaction of the tourists that is being influenced by some factors depending on the locations they had chosen. Luxury, culture, authenticity, experiences will shape the future in tourism. The digital technologies have become imperative in this competitive world and are shaping the traveler’s experiences as they provide valuable information. Our longing for journeys will always make us spend more money due to the higher level of living and this will go on as the number of tourists is increasing as well as the countries that invest in tourism.
An Assessment of Regional Innovation Capacity as a Factor of Economic Growth of Romanian Regions
Authors: Clipa Raluca Irina , Ifrim Mihaela , Clipa Flavian
Published: January 2020

According to Regional Innovation Scoreboard 2016, Romania’s regions, including the Bucharest-Ilfov region, are classified as modest innovators. This paper’s objective is to identify certain potential ways of economic growth of the Romanian regions through its innovation absorptive capacity and innovation development capacity, according to the AC/DC model of the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA), UK. Using the 2016 pillar scores of the Regional Competitiveness Index (RCI) - Innovation sub-index, we analyze their compatibility with the NESTA model and assess the potential of Romanian regions to absorb external innovation. The paper proposes a qualitative and quantitative approach based on empirical evidence. The poor performances of the Romanian regions regarding innovation, as they were analyzed in this paper, draw attention to Romania’s need to exploit innovation brought in from abroad. The main conclusion of our analysis is that Romania has failed to reach the absorption threshold of innovation that would allow it to accelerate the value-creating processes. The ability to innovate completes the ability to absorb. A detailed analysis of the causes of the reduced absorption capacity could also provide solutions for accelerating economic growth. We also formulate policy recommendations to increase Romania’s regional competitiveness through the development of innovation capacity.

Stream dwelling invertebrate populations are facing an ample array of stressors including the habitat imbalance caused by important floods. In this research we used a novel way to estimate the impact of floods upon the substrate, by utilising a remote variable named “flash-flood potential” (FFP), which accounts for the site slope and the average slope of the upstream catchment. The results showed that certain groups are sensitive to the influence of the FFP whereas other are not. We propose this remote variable as a surrogate for assessing stress imposed by floods and sediment scouring for lotic macroinvertebrates.

Measles is an acute highly contagious disease caused by Paramyxovirus. Measles is considered as a dangerous disease because it cause complications, brain and other organs damage, lifelong disability, paralysis and even death. In the previous studies, it was known that the spread of measles highly dependent on number of infected individuals so it is necessary to control measles through treatment. In this paper, we study about the application of the optimal control theory on the system of differential equations of the SIR endemic model. Determination of the optimal control is obtained through the application of the Pontryagin minimum principle. The main target in this paper is to find a unique optimal control where the optimal control can be described as an efficiency rate of treatment in individuals infected with measles to decrease the number of infected individuals.

Published: January 2020

Pancasila as philosofiche grondslag guides positioning tax law in Indonesia. While taxation as a science has developed from the ability to pay's principle towards the optimal taxation concept. There are two main objectives in this research such as identifying the characteristics of tax law based on the Pancasila philosophy and describing tax law based on the Pancasila philosophy in the context of optimal taxation. To answer both questions, normative research method was utilized by identifying the Pancasila philosophy of tax law and the concepts and principles of tax law and optimal taxation. This research reveals two things: firstly, the characteristics of tax law based on the Pancasila Philosophy include tax compliance, welfare, and burden prevention. Secondly, optimal taxation is compatible with the last two aspects of tax law based on Pancasila Philosophy. Yet, we found conflicting concept between tax compliance based on Pancasila philosophy and horizontal equity as part of optimal taxation. The object of conflict is a progressive tariff tax.

Pancasila sebagai philosofiche grondslag memberikan pegangan mengenai pemosisian hukum pajak di Indonesia. Sementara perpajakan sebagai suatu disiplin keilmuan telah berkembang dari prinsip kemampuan bayar menuju konsep perpajakan yang optimal. Ada dua tujuan artikel penelitian ini yakni mengidentifikasi karakteristik hukum pajak berfalsafah Pancasila, serta menjelaskan hukum pajak berfalsafah Pancasila dalam konteks perpajakan optimalPenelitian ini menggunakan metode normatif melalui identifikasi pajak berfalsafah Pancasila, serta identifikasi konsep dan asas-asas hukum pajak dan pajak optimal. Hasil temuan penelitian terdiri atas 2 hal, yaitu pertama, karakteristik hukum pajak berfalsafah Pancasila meliputi kepatuhan pajak, kesejahteraan, dan pencegahan beban. Kedua, perpajakan optimal sesuai dengan dua aspek terakhir dari hukum pajak berfalsafah Pancasila. Namun, terdapat ketidakcocokan diantara kepatuhan pajak berdasarkan Pancasila dengan keadilan horizontal berdasarkan konsep perpajakan optimal. Objek konflik yang dimaksud adalah tarif pajak progresif.
‘Television Discourses’: how the University of London’s Audio-Visual Centre professionalised and democratised the televisual lecture for postgraduate medical students
Authors: Saward Angela
Published: January 2020

The focus of this article is on a discrete group of videos that are, for the most part, held at Wellcome Collection in the United Kingdom. It is a case study of a ‘hidden’ archive – one that was almost lost, and certainly overlooked, of the closed-circuit television output from a university department. This department, the University of London Audio-Visual Centre, produced a large corpus of postgraduate medical educational video programmes from 1971– 1991. The article looks at the initial technological optimism, the ‘ideology’ and passion behind this endeavour through the lenses of an influential governmental report and those archives relating to this department. These documents reveal the myriad problems in meeting their original objective. The legacy of two decades of media production, represented by a small selection of videos, had long-term impacts in the educational sector and, arguably, democratised audio-visual education for postgraduate students engaged in the medical disciplines.
“Now even Television is Promoting Health?” On the Intertwined History of Television and Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in the German Democratic Republic, 1950s–1970s
Authors: Offermann Stefan
Published: January 2020

This paper argues that the historical trajectories of television and cardiovascular disease prevention in the German Democratic Republic are interlocking. These diseases were largely understood as caused by an unhealthy modern lifestyle. Healthcare experts were convinced that health education was an effective strategy to persuade the population to follow a healthy lifestyle. With its rise as a new mass medium, health educators increasingly relied on television as a means to put their message across. Yet the new medium itself was a target of health education measures as excessive TV consumption was considered a potential threat to cardiovascular health. This article deals with the history of health-related problematizations of TV consumption. In the 1950s and early 1960s, during an animated discourse on the strain of a modern lifestyle television was considered a potential source of overstimulation of the nervous system. As this article argues, this interpretation was undermined by a modified concept of TV consumption within the discourse of empirical audience research.

Pengikatan ke titik tetap dalam sebuah penentuan posisi dengan GNSS merupakan salah satu faktor yang berpengaruh pada hasil perataan jaring GNSS. Cara pengikatan ke titik tetap masih jarang dikaji, padahal hal ini sering terjadi. Jauhnya lokasi titik tetap dan pendeknya baseline yang disurvei membuat cara pengikatan secara langsung ke titik tetap menghasilkan geometri jaringan yang kurang ideal. Masalah ketelitian yang dihasilkan akibat kasus tersebut dikaji pada penelitian ini. Dua pendekatan cara pengikatan yang dipakai dalam studi ini yakni skema-1 dan skema-2. Skema-1 adalah pengikatan langsung dari dua titik tetap (KPG2 dan BTL2) ke titik uji (PM1, PM2, PM3, dan PM4), sedangkan skema-2 adalah cara pengikatan beranting dari titik KPG2 dan BTL2 ke titik perantara dekat lokasi (PABU) yang dipakai untuk mengikat titik-titik uji. Titik uji diamat selama 30 menit dan titik PABU diamati selama 3 jam menggunakan pengamatan GNSS diferensial statik. Berdasarkan analisis, diketahui bahwa dengan asumsi titik PABU fixed dan perambatan kesalahannya pada koordinat akhir tidak diperhitungkan, skema-2 memiliki ketelitian koordinat yang lebih tinggi (2,5 mm sampai dengan 8,3 mm) dibandingkan skema-1 (24,9 mm s.d. 67,9 mm). Nilai koordinat dari dua skema tersebut berbeda secara statistik (rentang kepercayaan = 95%) hanya pada komponen easting-nya sedangkan komponen northing dan height-nya tidak demikian. Ketelitian antara kedua skema pun berbeda secara statistik pada semua komponen koordinat. Dengan demikian, pada kasus ini, cara pengikatan beranting menghasilkan ketelitian koordinat yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan pengikatan langsung.

Published: January 2020

Penilaian tanah menjadi salah satu aspek dalam sistem kadaster yang terintegrasi dengan penggunaan tanah dan penguasaan tanah. Tanah dapat dinilai atas dasar manfaat yang bisa diberikan. Tinggi rendahnya nilai tanah dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor, di antaranya faktor ekonomi, sosial, pemerintah, dan fisik. Berdasarkan faktor yang dapat menentukan nilai tanah tersebut, diketahui bahwa penggunaan tanah dapat pula berpengaruh terhadap pembentukan nilai tanah. Beberapa penelitian telah menyatakan bahwa tata guna lahan merupakan faktor yang paling dominan pengaruhnya terhadap nilai tanah. Pada penelitian ini digunakan analisis geostatistika yang diterapkan dalam pemodelan nilai tanah. Perhitungan estimasi nilai tanah dilakukan dengan menggunakan model spherical, exponential, maupun gaussian. hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model semivariogram terbaik berdasarkan perhitungan adalah model gaussian, karena memiliki besaran standar deviasi terendah bila dibandingkan dengan standar deviasi yang dihasilkan oleh model exponential dan spherical. Model matematika nilai tanah hasil analisis geostatistika akan dimodifikasi dengan memasukkan bobot tata ruang. Model matematika nilai tanah hasil modifikasi ini diharapkan dapat mencerminkan nilai yang sebenarnya, di mana selanjutnya dapat dipergunakan dalam pembuatan pembuatan zona nilai tanah.

Published: January 2020

Indonesia is an archipelago state lies between Indian and Pacific Oceans at the South East Asia region. Its unique geomorphological and geographical setting affect variabilities of instantaneous sea surface height (ISSH) concering to one of the sea reference surface i.e mean sea surface height (MSSH). The differences between both heights, known as sea level anomaly (SLA), can be recognized as one of the parameter that describes the dynamic phenomena of the ocean. We investigated the Spatiotemporal characteristics of long-term SLA in this research based on 30 years of sea-level data derived from the multi-mission of satellite Altimetry (Topex/Poseidon, Jason-1, Jason-2 and Jason-3). The Spatiotemporal of SLA characteristics in Indonesian waters indicate substantial variations due to the influences of geographical location, bathymetric depth, and seasonal patterns. The SLA rate in the Indonesian region provides values that vary between 3.4 mm/yr to 5.3 mm/yr that higher than 3.2 mm/yr global SLA rate. The impact caused by the phenomenon needs to be taken into account given the vulnerability and disaster that could endanger the islands and coastal area in Indonesia.
THE IMPACT OF THE CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT ON THE TRANSITION FROM THE TRADITIONAL MODEL TO THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM IN A UNIT OPERATION COURSE
Authors: Fauteux-Lefebvre Clémence
Published: January 2020

The learning objectives of the Unit Operation course are to learn, understand and apply the operational and design principles of various separation units. For each unit, students must learn the process principles, how to apply mass and energy balances and how to use solving procedures in various contexts to design units, based on given parameters and operating objectives.

The main challenges for the students are to develop the general design skills and the necessary knowledge of the theory principles, with a deep understanding of the various concepts and procedures specific to each unit. The traditional format of the course leads students to solve problems mostly during their study time, while the help of the teacher is not direct. A flipped classroom approach would allow students to revise, explore and acquire significant part of the knowledge online or on their own rather than during the lectures and then to benefit from more efficient design problem-solving sessions. It, however, requires adaptation and engagement from both the students and the instructors for a successful learning experience.

In this course, the transformation is gradually implemented with the use of active learning classrooms and the development of a blended learning format of the course, to obtain an entirely flipped classroom. The access to active learning classrooms is one of the tools that could impact the quality of the flipped classroom organization, but also change the student’s experience, and was the studied. Having the suitable space, tools and seating organization to easily work in team and share their work with the entire group efficiently could help them to be engaged and to develop these new skills. The assessment of the student’s experience during the unit operations course in the active learning classroom showed that it promotes collaboration and it was appreciated by the majority of students, with a clear preference for this classroom over a traditional one for the various learning activities. It could then help reducing some obstacles to engage students in cooperative learning.
TEACHING ENGINEERING SOFTWARE USING SELF-PACED MODULES
Authors: Abelló Juan
Published: January 2020

This paper presents an approach to teaching SolidWorks, Matlab and Arduino using self-paced modules. Each module consists of self-guided lessons scheduled over a consecutive four-day period of 26-28 contact hours. The class takes place in a teaching computer laboratory with about 30 seats, with a basic Arduino electronics kit provided on each computer station. The instructor and teaching assistants provide brief demonstrations through the day and supports students individually as they complete lessons at their own pace. Student performance and feedback suggests this is an effective method for teaching SolidWorks, Matlab and Arduino.

Canadian universities are devoting more and more resources to develop K-12 engineering education outreach programs. The School of Engineering at the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus offers a variety of outreach and community programs for students of all ages. This paper provides details on the DiscoverE Engineering Summer Program which has been delivered since 2016. The objective of the program is to introduce students general design processes through hands-on civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering projects.

The overall goal is to foster a passion in engineering and at the same time attract students who have already had an interest in engineering and are eager to learn more about the discipline. The program is taught by faculty members and exposes students to a variety of hands-on projects in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering.

This paper will provide curriculum details for each topic and reflect on the student learning experience based on observations. Future qualitative plans on the measure of the impact of this program qualitatively will be explored.
DEVELOPING A FRAMEWORK TO EVALUATE INDIVIDUAL LEARNING IN ENGINEERING DESIGN PROBLEMS – PART 2: ASSESSMENT OF INDIVIDUAL LEARNING IN TEAM ENVIRONMENTS
Authors: Balakrishnan Nishant
Published: January 2020

Engineers often model their teaching based on how they expect students to function once they graduate, and as a result they typically have a strong affinity for Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Team-Based Learning (TBL) approaches. In many cases, this works quite well and has been proven to increase student engagement and performance of design teams. At the same time, as more of the curriculum relies on group projects, there is a simple dilemma that is created: how do you ensure that the learning outcomes a team demonstrates are accurate reflections of what each individual in the team is learning? This rarely poses a challenge in engineering practice, as engineers are expected to specialize, but in an outcome-based accreditation, this can become a serious issue if there isn’t a careful consideration of this in the structure of TBL courses. This paper explores the application of an evaluative framework to a course with strong PBL and TBL components that is set up to ensure that students are not only exposed to all learning outcomes as they tackle a project, but are individually evaluated on their ability to show competence in these outcomes. The prime methodology of this framework is an evaluative tool called an "open-ended design exam" that uses a 1:1 mapping of team and individual learning, with scaffolding in the course frameworks to support this. This paper presents application of this approach to two courses developed at the University of Manitoba, outcomes and responses to the course layout, and suggestions for extensions to other courses or programs.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENTS IN THIRD YEAR CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DESIGN
Authors: Norval Graeme , Bobicki Erin
Published: January 2020

An impending retirement has led us to reevaluate the course: should we keep it - and if so who teaches it, or should we look to change it? The course was co-taught with a new faculty member, coupled with internal reviews and discussions. Ultimately, we decided to keep the course, and also to work to broaden its base. 

Historically, the design problems have been petrochemical in nature. Each team gets a reaction, with a first order rate law, as well as a production rate and fractional conversion. From this, they do the design calculations for a reactor and separator, and also generate the base engineering drawings. 

This past year, the project types were expanded to include environmental remediation and hydrometallurgical extraction. The environmental remediation problems involved wastewater processing (eg., BOD oxidation) which can be treated as a first order reaction.  The hydrometallurgical problem (Li leaching from spodumene) also was set up as first order.  Additionally, we provided the option of a case study review. The students chose a classic chemical safety incident, reviewed the details, and created a summary report which included recommendations on how to incorporate learnings from the incident into the curriculum.
INVESTIGATING STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF FIRST-YEAR ENGINEERING TUTORIALS
Authors: Miqdadi Maria , Harris Jeffrey
Published: January 2020

The main purpose and goal of this research project is to investigate first year engineering tutorials. There are many aspects involved in a successful academic experience and we hope to understand students’ perceptions of first-year tutorials. Tutorials are an integral part in the learning experience as they allow for more participation and engagement from the students. We created two surveys surrounding these topics to get an understanding of York Student’s experience with and perceptions of first-year tutorials. Each survey received 50 or more responses. The results had a wide variety in some areas such as how they prefer the class to be laid out and how they felt about their TA’s.
