Traditional engineering education is usually very theoretical and in a closed environment. By using the Learning Methodology + Service (L+S) and various techniques and Agile methods, performed from the beginning of the life cycle of a project, the incorporation of a different form of COMPUTER SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE Forshaw et al 2016 Meeting graduate employability needs through open-source collaboration with 1 This paper describes the development and delivery of a course, in close collaboration with industry, over a ten-year period. We describe the details of this collaboration, which aims to equip students with collaborative software development experience, incorporating open source, Categories
Recent experiments have revealed discrepancies between calculated and experimental lifetimes in the lowest excited level of some chlorine-like ions. New ab initio oscillator strengths using the Breit-Pauli R-matrix method are provided for the 3s 2 3p 5 2 P o 3/2,1/2 -3s3p 6 2 S e 1/2 transition in Cl-like Ar II through to Cu XIII. Our calculated lifetimes for these twelve ions are respectively 5.507,
This paper reports on strategic developments to enhance student learner autonomy skills through the use of enquiry-based learning (EBL) in the design of higher education programmes. The UK's Sheffield Hallam University is a recognized Centre of Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) in the field of developing learner autonomy. Central to the university's learning, teaching and assessment strategy is the conviction that students must become autonomous learners to acquire the skills and knowledge needed for employment, research and continuing professional development. In this context it is imperative that students are increasingly able to manage their own learning, formulate their own lines of enquiry and develop flexible approaches to their studies – the essence of acquiring learner autonomy. It is also important that they can work across discipline boundaries, often in teams, tackling problems that are essentially multidisciplinary. The central theme of this paper is the strategic use of EBL in areas that involve students working together in small groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
