This book contains papers on a wide range of topics in the area of kinematics, mechanisms, robotics, and design, addressing new research advances and innovations in design education. The content is divided into five main categories headed ‘Historical Perspectives’, ‘Kinematics and Mechanisms’, ‘Robotic Systems’, ‘Legged Locomotion’, and ‘Design Engineering Education’. Contributions take the form of survey articles, historical perspectives, commentaries on trends on education or research, original research contributions, and papers on design education. This volume celebrates the achievements of Professor Kenneth Waldron who has made innumerable and invaluable contributions to these fields in the last fifty years. His leadership and his pioneering work have influenced thousands of people in this discipline.
We are delighted to present a select compilation of papers that represent recent
advances in kinematics, mechanisms, design and robotics research and
education. The papers celebrate the achievements of Professor Kenneth
Waldron who has made immeasurable contributions to these fields in the last fifty
years. His leadership and his pioneering work have influenced thousands of
people in our community. During this period, he has mentored over 35 doctoral
and 30 masters ...
Are Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) helpful or detrimental to the process of design? According to Aristotle, the imagination is a mental power that assists logical, sound judgments. Design, therefore, incorporates both reason and imagination. Challenging ICT Applications in Architecture, Engineering, and Industrial Design Education posits imagination as the central feature of design. It questions the common assumption that ICTs are not only useful but also valuable for the creation of the visual designs that reside at the core of architecture, engineering design, and industrial design. For readers who believe this assumption is right, this book offers an alternative perspective.
ABSTRACT The design studio is the prototype of design education, particularly
for architects but more and more for engineers too – though engineers prefer the
word “lab” to “studio.” Although the design studio is known today mainly through
the “reflection in action” theory of Donald Schön (1984, 1988), this manner of
education first developed at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in the seventeenth
century for the promotion of neoclassical aesthetic values, and it has continued
ever ...
Describing UML concepts with over 200 animated figures, this work includes the UML Multimedia Cyber Classroom CD-ROM and The Unified Modeling Language Reference Manual.
This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book. This revision offers a crisp, clear explanation of the basics of object-oriented thinking via UML models, then presents a process for applying these principles to software development, including C++, Java, and relational databases. An integrated case study threads throughout the book, illustrating key ideas as well as their application.
