The role of a digital engineering platform in appropriating the creation of new work-related mind-set and organisational discourse in a large multi-national company     

《International Journal of Information Management》2019

This paper reports on a case study involving a strategic and innovative approach to creation of an in-house multifaceted digital engineering platform (the DEP) in overcoming a number of organisational problems at a multinational engineering company. The DEP was to be used strategically for simplifying the operational complexity and to create and appropriate new work-related mind-set and new organisational discourse to achieve homogenous working across the organisation, which is a huge challenge. The need for this system emerged from the need to resolve many organisational services related problems that carried phenomenal amount of processes, health and safety risks and to regulate, and, control the running of engineering project. Research data were collected using a longitudinal case study approach over a period of six months. In order to make sense of how the DEP helped the organisation, the study used certain elements of Extended Structuration Theory as a lens to assess the case study. This research discovered that the DEP succeeded in creating and appropriating work-related mind-set and organisational discourse. It also had real influence on working processes and employees at all levels while encouraging transparency, responsiveness, agility and accountability. It continues to help the organisation to govern, manage and maintain good standard of service but many barriers still remain.  相似文献   

Idea generation in biomedical engineering courses using Design Heuristics

ABSTRACT

With increasing demand for improved medical equipment and healthcare, next-generation biomedical engineers need strong design skills. Equipping biomedical engineering students with tools for idea generation and development can increase student design success. Design Heuristics are an ideation tool developed through empirical studies of product designs. While identified in the mechanical engineering space, Design Heuristics may be applicable in biomedical engineering design. In our study, we implemented a Design Heuristics session during upper-level undergraduate and first-year graduate biomedical engineering design courses. We examined the applicability of Design Heuristics within individual and team concept generation contexts. The findings demonstrated that biomedical engineering students were able to use Design Heuristics to generate multiple concepts, and that initial concepts produced using Design Heuristics were carried over into final team design. The results support the applicability of Design Heuristics to student idea generation in biomedical engineering design.  相似文献

Do children spend too much time in schools? Evidence from a longer school year in Indonesia     

《Economics of Education Review》2014

I examine the effects of a longer school year in Indonesia on grade repetition, educational attainment, employability, and earnings. I exploit an arbitrary rule that assigned students to a longer school year in Indonesia in 1978–1979, which fits a fuzzy regression discontinuity design. I find the longer school year decreases the probability of grade repetition and increases educational attainment; it also increases the probability of working in formal sectors and wages later in life. These results suggest the length of school years in Indonesia is not too long.  相似文献

比较文学作为一门学科,内容丰富、学理性强。如何使学生真正了解比较文学学科的价值、意义,使他们正确运用比较文学原理、方法,深入开展文学研究,四个关键词至关重要,即：比较;影响;可比性;变异性。学生只有充分了解关键词的含义,切实掌握了关键词的运用,比较文学的教学才能收到事半功倍的成效。  相似文献   

Destined to Design? How and Why Australian Women Choose to Study Industrial Design     

Cathy Lockhart  Evonne Miller 《The International Journal of Art & Design Education》2016,35(2):213-228

Despite over three decades of legislation and initiatives designed to tackle the traditional gender divide in the science, technology and design fields, only a quarter of the registered architects in Australia are women. There are no statistics available for other design disciplines, with little known about why women choose design as a career path and who or what influences this decision. This qualitative research addresses this knowledge gap, through semi‐structured in‐depth interviews conducted with 19 Australian women who completed an industrial (product) design degree. Thematic analysis revealed three key themes: childhood aptitude and exposure; significant experiences and people; and design as a serendipitous choice. The findings emphasise the importance of early exposure to design as a potential career choice, highlighting the critical role played by parents, teachers, professionals and social networks.  相似文献   

高职思政课实践教学与工学结合叠加教学探索     

叶忠明 《南宁师范高等专科学校学报》2013,(1):137-139

实践教学是思政课及工学结合不可或缺的重要组成部分。积极推进思政课实践教学与专业顶岗实习的有机结合，重构与工学结合相适应的思政课实践教学体系，以发挥二者间的叠加教学效应。这既是高职培养“全面发展和适应社会需要”的人的题中应有之意，也是高职思政课实践教学改革要着力探索的一种新型方式和途径。  相似文献
