Abstract:
Advancements in molecular and cell biology have led to the development of cell-based therapies to treat injured or degenerated tissues. [1] The rationale of this concept is that functional regeneration can be achieved best by using the innate capacity of cells to create their own tissue-specific extracellular matrix (ECM) avoiding the shortfalls of man-made devices. Although direct cell injections have demonstrated very promising preclinical and clinical outcomes, [2] the mode of administration offers little control over local retention and distribution of the injected cell suspensions[3] leading to scattered therapeutic efficiency. This deficiency has led to the development of living substitutes for skin[4] and blood vessel[5] composed of cells seeded on a collagen scaffold. Notwithstanding the efficacious results in preclinical models and clinical trials, it soon became apparent that the presence of the scaffold hinders tissue remodelling and function. [6] These drawbacks led to t...

Novel injectable gallium-based self-setting glass alginate hydrogel composite for cardiovascular tissue engineering
(2019)
Clarkin, Owen; Wu, Bing; Cahill, Paul A.; Brougham, Dermot F.; Banerjee, Dipanjan; Brady, Sarah; Fox, Eoin; Lally, Caitríona
Abstract:
Composite biomaterials offer a new approach for engineering novel, minimally-invasive scaffolds with properties that can be modified for a range of soft tissue applications. In this study, a new way of controlling the gelation of alginate hydrogels using Ga-based glass particles is presented. Through a comprehensive analysis, it was shown that the setting time, mechanical strength, stiffness and degradation properties of this composite can all be tailored for various applications. Specifically, the hydrogel generated through using a glass particle, wherein toxic aluminium is replaced with biocompatible gallium, exhibited enhanced properties. The material’s stiffness matches that of soft tissues, while it displays a slow and tuneable gelation rate, making it a suitable candidate for minimally-invasive intra-vascular injection. In addition, it was also found that this composite can be tailored to deliver ions into the local cellular environment without affecting platelet adhe...

Investigation on autonomous healing for GFRP composite using cyanoacrylate adhesives
(2012)
Fifo, Omosola
Abstract:
THESIS 10198
An investigation into smart structures with a vascular healing system using cyanoacrylate (CA) adhesive is presented in this thesis. The flexibility in the functional role of a smart structure involves the structure executing its primary operation(s) while also being at liberty to initiate damage repair without any external intervention. Many of the high performance engineering applications now utilise the light weight - high strength benefit of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites as their main load bearing component. They are found in new generation sports vehicles, aircraft fuselage, megawatt wind turbine blades (WTB) etc. However, FRP composites are susceptible to the development of cracks from stress concentration, low velocity impact damage and are prone to delamination. Their failures are often characterised by insufficient warnings and can be catastrophic.

Band gap modulation in zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks by defect engineering
(2019)
Taddei, Marco; Schukraft, Giulia M.; Warwick, Michael E. A.; Tiana, Davide; McPherson, Matthew J.; Jones, Daniel R.; Petit, Camille
Abstract:
We report a defect-engineering approach to modulate the band gap of zirconium-based metal–organic framework UiO-66, enabled by grafting of a range of amino-functionalised benzoic acids at defective sites. Defect engineered MOFs were obtained by both post-synthetic exchange and modulated synthesis, featuring band gap in the 4.1–3.3 eV range. First principle calculations suggest that shrinking of the band gap is likely due to an upward shift of the valence band energy, as a result of the presence of light-absorbing monocarboxylates. The photocatalytic properties of defect-engineered MOFs towards CO2 reduction to CO in the gas phase and degradation of Rhodamine B in water were tested, observing improved activity in both cases, in comparison to a defective UiO-66 bearing formic acid as the defect-compensating species.

Abstract:
Focal articular cartilage (AC) defects, if left untreated, can lead to debilitating diseases such as osteoarthritis. While several tissue engineering strategies have been developed to promote cartilage regeneration, it is still challenging to generate functional AC capable of sustaining high load-bearing environments. We developed a new class of cartilage extracellular matrix (cECM)-functionalized alginate bioink for the bioprinting of cartilaginous tissues. The bioinks were 3D-printable, supported mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) viability post-printing and robust chondrogenesis in vitro, with the highest levels of COLLII and ACAN expression observed in bioinks containing the highest concentration of cECM. Enhanced chondrogenesis in cECM-functionalized bioinks was also associated with progression along an endochondral-like pathway, as evident by increases in RUNX2 expression and calcium deposition in vitro. The bioinks loaded with MSCs and TGF-?3 were also found capable of supporting ro...

Flynn, Susan; Ward, Tomas E.; Flynn, Gareth
Abstract:
This is a case study of the occupational therapy rehabilitation process of a teenage girl who presented in 1997 with a rare neurological condition diagnosed as rapid onset Dystonia Parkinsonism. She was helped to obtain some of the occupational performances of her choice by assistive technology devices tailored to her needs by the rehabilitation engineering department, and in this paper we wish to point out how collaboration between our departments can be of benefit to patients, and how essential microelectronic technology is in the occupational therapy environment.

Software Engineering work placement At Azotel Technologies
(2011)
Li, Zhongyu
Abstract:
Since the SIMPLer platform has been developed and maintained for several years as a mature software product, unfortunately, I was not involved in this project from its very beginning. When I joined the company’s software engineering team, the basic framework of the project had been deployed by several engineers that had been on the team previously. The programming language, software environment and various third-party applications had been chosen as well. I started my placement by learning the existing parts of the project and interacting with a number of software applications that I was going to use later on during my placement. I then focused on the software programming area – particularly feature development, and worked on some other assignments which involved learning a variety of skills in radio equipment, networking, and operating systems to serve the project

Delaney, Declan; Brown, Stephen
Abstract:
This technical report outlines a set of software development documents, tailored for use by students in software engineering projects. It is based on IEEE standards and, in general, IEEE terms and abbreviations have been used to provide exposure to professional terminology. This is a revised version of the document templates and guidelines described in technical reports NUIM-CS-TR2002-5 and NUIM-CSTR2002- 6. In this report the contents have been consolidated and the guidelines condensed to reflect experience with the previously defined document templates. The titles of each document are now preceded by the word educational to distinguish them from the actual IEEE documents from which the document titles are derived.

Disentangling the neural correlates of attention decrement: from Cognitive Neuroscience to Cognitive Engineering
(2014)
Derosiere, Gerard
Abstract:
Focused attention represents a high-level cognitive function enabling humans to selectively facilitate specific actions and perceptions. In a world full of choices of action, and of perceptual possibilities, focused attention appears to be a vital component of human cognition. One observation however, is worth making: human-beings are unable to maintain stable states of focused attention indefinitely. This inability manifests during sustained attention tasks with the progressive occurrence of sensory-motor deficiencies with time-on-task. The phenomenon - called attention decrement - is characterized by increases in motor impulsivity and in response times to imperative events, and by a reduction in perceptual sensitivity. So far, the neural underpinnings of attention decrement have not been fully elucidated and this lack of knowledge is clearly palpable within two disciplinary fields: Cognitive Neuroscience and Cognitive Engineering. In Cognitive Neuroscience, the associated question...

Network Latency in On-Line Gaming: An Engineering or a Psychological Problem?
(2006)
Linehan, Conor; Roche, Bryan; McLoone, Seamus; Ward, Tomas E.
Abstract:
Ongoing research attempts to find engineering-based solutions to the problem of network latency in multiplayer computer games. However, few studies have been conducted to examine the end-users' experience of latency from a psychological perspective. The current study examines the roles of network latency and game complexity on the subjective experience of participants playing a specially designed computer game. Results suggest that participants prefer complex over simple games, regardless of the level of latency experienced. These findings suggest the possibility of a psychological solution to some of the negative effects of network latency. It is suggested that by manipulating Relational Complexity, it may be possible to maintain a satisfactory gaming experience in the presence of latency.

A tool chain for reverse engineering C++ applications
(2007)
Kraft, Nicholas A.; Malloy, Brian A.; Power, James F.
Abstract:
We describe a tool chain that enables experimentation and study of real C++ applications. Our tool chain enables reverse engineering and program analysis by exploiting gcc, and thus accepts any C++ application that can be analysed by the C++ parser and front end of gcc. Our current test suite consists of large, open-source applications with diverse problem domains, including language processing and gaming. Our tool chain is designed using a GXL-based pipe-filter architecture; therefore, the individual applications and libraries that constitute our tool chain each provide a point of access. The preferred point of access is the g4api Application Programming Interface (API), which is located at the end of the chain. g4api provides access to information about the C++ program under study, including information about declarations, such as classes (including template instantiations); namespaces; functions; and variables, statements and some expressions. Access to the information is via eit...

The rationale and emergence of electroconductive biomaterial scaffolds in cardiac tissue engineering.
(2019)
Monaghan, Michael; Nicolosi, Valeria
Abstract:
The human heart possesses minimal regenerative potential, which can often lead to chronic heart failure following myocardial infarction. Despite the successes of assistive support devices and pharmacological therapies, only a whole heart transplantation can sufficiently address heart failure. Engineered scaffolds, implantable patches, and injectable hydrogels are among the most promising solutions to restore cardiac function and coax regeneration; however, current biomaterials have yet to achieve ideal tissue regeneration and adequate integration due a mismatch of material physicochemical properties. Conductive fillers such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, metallic nanoparticles, and MXenes and conjugated polymers such as polyaniline, polypyrrole, and poly(3,4-ethylendioxythiophene) can possibly achieve optimal electrical conductivities for cardiac applications with appropriate suitability for tissue engineering approaches. Many studies have focused on the use of these materials in mu...

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Derived Extracellular Vesicles for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Applications
(2020)
O'Driscoll, Lorraine; Tsiapalis, Dimitrios
Abstract:
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are being extensively investigated for their potential in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, recent evidence suggests that the beneficial effects of MSCs may be manifest by their released extracellular vesicles (EVs); typically not requiring the administration of MSCs. This evidence, predominantly from pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo studies, suggests that MSC-EVs may exhibit substantial therapeutic properties in many pathophysiological conditions, potentially restoring an extensive range of damaged or diseased tissues and organs. These benefits of MSC EVs are apparently found, regardless of the anatomical or body fluid origin of the MSCs (and include e.g., bone marrow, adipose tissue, umbilical cord, urine, etc). Furthermore, early indications suggest that the favourable effects of MSC-EVs could be further enhanced by modifying the way in which the donor MSCs are cultured (for example, in hypoxic compared to normoxic conditions, i...

3D bioprinting of cartilage-mimetic implants for biological joint resurfacing
(2020)
SCHIPANI, ROSSANA
Abstract:
A major challenge in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is the development of effective therapies for treating large cartilage or osteochondral defects and ultimately regenerating whole osteoarthritic joints. The objective of this thesis was to 3D bioprint cell-laden biomaterials with biomimetic mechanical properties as implants for regenerating large osteochondral defects. To this end, a finite element modelling (FEM) strategy was first developed to design the 3D printed polycaprolactone (PCL) networks with user-defined mechanical properties. These PCL networks were then combined with an alginate-gelatin methacryloyl (gelMA) interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogel to develop 3D bioprinted constructs that were both mechanically functional and supportive of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) chondrogenesis. When the IPN hydrogels were reinforced with a PCL network characterized by relatively high tension-compression nonlinearity, the resulting composites possesse...

Abstract:
Menisci are soft tissues essential for load bearing and stress distribution in the knee joint. Meniscal injuries are common in all age groups and can lead to degeneration of the joint. While currently available surgical debridement, meniscal repair and replacement strategies provide short-term relief, the ideal solution would be to facilitate meniscus regeneration. This has motivated increased interest in meniscus tissue engineering strategies to create more advanced cell-based implants for joint preservation. The overall aim of this thesis was to 3D bioprint a cell-laden and anatomically accurate engineered meniscus construct as an implant to replace meniscus tissue after a total or partial meniscectomy. Realizing this aim required the development of polymer scaffolds and bioinks with specific biomechanical properties and the potential to support fibro-cartilaginous tissue deposition by encapsulated cells. To produce scaffolds with biomechanical properties mimetic of the native men...

Kloetzer, Laure; Henein, Simon; Tau, Ramiro; Martin, Susanne; Valterio, Joëlle
Abstract:
This paper introduces two courses making use of performing arts at university level. The first course, taught by Prof. Simon Henein and his colleagues, called Improgineering, aims to teach collective creation through improvisation to master’s degree students in engineering at the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland). The second course, taught by Prof. Laure Kloetzer and her colleagues, aims to introduce the Psychology of Migration via a sociocultural approach to bachelor’s degree students in psychology and education at the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland). After briefly introducing the topic of performing arts in higher education (section 1), the paper offers a description of the two courses (sections 2 and 3). These are complemented by teachers’ and students’ impressions of the course, as analyzed from individual interviews, focus groups and students’ learning diary entries (section 4). The conclusion presents some reflections on the convergences of the...

Engineering Science as Opposed to Natural Science
(2007)
Coyle, Eugene; Murphy, Mike; Grimson, William
Abstract:
In exploring the epistemology of engineering science, we propose a model of engineering. This model incorporates the goals of engineering, the approach to engineering (also called the engineering method) and the role of experience in engineering. The basis for understanding the nature of engineering science will be explored, and will be contrasted with natural science. To begin, a large-scale engineering project that was successfully completed in Ireland many years ago is discussed - specifically, the development of a megalithic passage tomb as an exemplar of the engineering method in structural design, project management and aesthetics. This exemplar firmly demonstrates that engineering method existed before the development and understanding of the relevant natural science. We next contrast the nature of engineering or engineering science and natural science. This discussion will further develop the engineering model, but will contrast the philosophical differences between engineer...

Real-World Process Design for Mechanical Engineering Students: A Case Study of PBL in DIT
(2008)
Delaney, Kevin; Kelleher, John B
Abstract:
Engineering education deals primarily with calculating quantitative performance of engineering objects, such as machines, circuits or dams, and with designing variations of these objects. However when engineering graduates enter the workforce they must be able to do a great deal more than solve the technical problems taught in engineering school [1]. More specifically they will need to deal with a great range of problems some of which are not technical engineering problems at all. Examples of such problems include working as part of a larger group, project management, negotiation, component sourcing and an awareness of the multi-disciplinary nature of engineering. Such real-world engineering problems force graduate engineers to draw on their professional and personal resourcefulness, adapt to on-the-job pressure, cope with people problems and broaden their knowledge base. Increased competition and high labour costs put pressure on engineering graduates to contribute to companies as ...

Philosophy Matters in Engineering Studies

Grimson, William; Murphy, Mike; Christensen, Steen Hyldgaard; Erno-Kjolhede, Erik
Abstract:
This article explores the rationale for including in an integrated five-years Masters Engineering programme liberal arts subjects, in particular Philosophy and the History of Science and Technology. We argue that the tools of philosophy should be used to provide additional insight into how engineering was and is 'performed'. We first review the challenge, next we present some results of an empirical case study carried out at AU-IBT in Denmark. The purpose of the case study was to examine a sample of engineering teachers´ attitudes towards the relevance and scope of liberal arts subjects for engineering students. Finally we conclude with a proposal for the inclusion of Philosophy and History of Engineering, Science and Technology in an engineering programme and how this might be done

Developing a Standard Approach to the Value Engineering Process for the Civil Engineering Industry: a Theoretical, Case Study and Industry Perspective.

Mitchell, Charles Anthony
Abstract:
The original Value Engineering process developed in North America in the late 1940‟s, was primarily based on functional analysis. However; the North American Value Engineering process was not adopted in Europe. Instead various mixed methods were assembled under the umbrella term of Value Management. Nowadays there is much debate about what Value Engineering is and how is it defined? This question arises in part due to there being no standard approach in Europe as a whole in undertaking ValueManagement or Value Engineering exercises.With this in mind, Masters level research was undertaken from three perspectives (theory, case study and industry). The research revealed in consistencies between the theoretical perspective and the two other perspectives. To address these inconsistencies; it is proposed that perhaps, it is now time to revert to the original North American Value Engineering process of function analysis, with the addition of the constraints triangle (time, cost, quality). ...

A New Integrated Style to Teaching Engineering Mathematics at Third Level Engineering Courses
(2017)
Saleh, Mohamad; McGuinness, Colm
Abstract:
Mathematics is the main pillar in the engineering foundation courses and the engineering profession where mathematical manipulation, modelling and simulation are used widely. However, experience in engineering courses has shown that students encounter some difficulties in mathematics, with a certain degree of disinterest and apathy. This is reflected in the mathematical continuous assessments, final exams, laboratory reports for other engineering subjects and in answering engineering numerical question-based mathematical formula. This paper investigates a new development and the implication of two models of a CBL integrated with course lecture material. This is part of an overall integrated approach, achieved through an embedded Visual Basic mathematics programming into MS Excel. The results of this paper attempt to promote mathematics in engineering courses and provide substantial information to the educators in both mathematics and engineering at third level education.

Bridging the Gap Between Engineering Workforce Needs and Student Engagement
(2015)
Goold, Eileen
Abstract:
This paper is inspired by the development of the proposed new technological university in Dublin; TU4Dublin is to become “Dublin’s Globally Engaged University” and is to be located at the nexus between learning and engagement (TU4Dublin, 2015). This study investigates engineering education in the context of career focused education. The main objective of this study is to investigate whether engineering students’ cognitive engagement benefits from bridging the gap between technical issues and the practical realities of modern engineering practice. A portfolio of engineering practice illustrating the practical realities of modern engineering practice in the context of Engineers Ireland’s competencies is developed and presented to first year electronic engineering students at the Institute of Technology Tallaght Dublin (ITTD). A mixed methods approach is used to evaluate the impact of the portfolio usage on first year electronic engineering students’ learning engagement. The results sh...

Spatial Thinking in the Engineering Curriculum: an Investigation of the Relationship Between Problem Solving and Spatial Skills Among Engineering Students.
(2017)
Duffy, Gavin
Abstract:
Long considered a primary factor of intelligence, spatial ability has been shown to correlate strongly with success in engineering education, yet is rarely included as a learning outcome in engineering programmes. A clearer understanding of how and why spatial ability impacts on performance in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects would allow educators to determine if spatial skills development merits greater priority in STEM curricula. The aim of this study is to help inform that debate by shedding new light on the role of spatial thinking in STEM learning and allow teaching practice and curriculum design to be informed by evidence based research. A cross cutting theme in STEM education – problem solving – is examined with respect to its relationship with spatial ability. Several research questions were addressed that related to the role and relevance of spatial ability to first year engineering education and, more specifically, the manner in which spatia...
