The progress of technology has resulted in substantial changes in the process of modem engineering education. Three domains of subjects constituting the curriculum can be distinguished in this process. With time, certain contradictions between this triad of domains have developed. These contradictions manifest themselves in both negative and positive ways. This paper considers some aspects of this confrontation and proposes some recommendations to minimize the negative effects in education and to strengthen the positive outcomes.The gap between practice, as typified by design, and academe, as typified by the scientific approach, has grown too great. Closure will depend largely upon the willingness and ability of young academics to assimilate the industrial point of view and build bridges between the two cultures [1].
The rapid development of the technological world has created a tense situation between engineering educators and the ‘engineering consumer’. Industry sometimes develops faster than educators and students are able to respond. This paper considers some aspects of this situation in terms of systemology, indicating certain directions for maintaining adequacy between the systems in cooperation and providing internal homeostatic conditions. Examples are given for predicting bottle-necks in the near future in the relations between practical engineering world and the world of learning.
Российские муниципальные образования играют ключевую роль в национальной экономике, однако все чаще сталкиваются с вызовами, которые препятствуют их полноценному развитию. Основной целью данной статьи является определение основных концептуальных принципов формирования системы стратегического управления на уровне муниципальных образований, что будет способствовать повышению качества жизни населения.
The widely held notion 'that most machine problems can be solved by active control' and Machines and Mechanisms Theory can be dropped from mechanical engineering curricula is discussed and refuted, and the role of electronics and computers in machine engineering are put in their correct context. Computer-aided control of machines and mechanisms cannot replace the mechanical essence of the mechanical end-actuator, tool, etc. An in-depth knowledge of the theory of mechanisms is essential for the understanding and development of new approaches to machine design as well as for computer programming relevant to this field.
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.
