‘Cheap & Cheerful’ – Demonstrating Control to 1st Year Engineering Students
(2015)
McLoone, Seamus; Maloco, John
Abstract:
• Illustrating the concept of system control to Electronic Engineering students is typically achieved through simulation and theory. However, we wanted a hardware demonstration ... • Existing commercial hardware products are simply too expensive and too bulky to adequately equip a typical undergraduate Engineering hardware-based laboratory … • So, we built our own !!

The Implementation and Evaluation of a Problem Based Learning Pilot Module in a First Year Electronic Engineering Programme
(2014)
Lawlor, Bob; McLoone, Seamus; Meehan, Andrew
Abstract:
This study involved the design, implementation and evaluation of a group Problem-Based Learning (PBL) pilot module with a cohort of first year students on the BE in Electronic Engineering Programme in the Department of Electronic Engineering, National University of Ireland, Maynooth. The pilot module was implemented during semester 2 of the 2012/13 academic year and involved a total of 18 students working in 3 project groups. The self-selecting group sizes were 5, 6 and 7. The pilot module was based on the Aalborg PBL educational model but was adapted to take account of local contextual differences such as student demographics and prior experience of group project work. The pilot module was integrated into the second semester of a four-year conventional engineering programme such that the project theme was closely associated with previous and parallel taught module content while still allowing significant scope for student direction/ownership. The project module comprised one third ...

Engineering and Re-engineering Earth: Industrialized Harvesting of Ireland’s Peatlands and its Aftermath
(2011)
Breathnach, Proinnsias
Abstract:
Such has been the transformation of the planet Earth by human activity over the last 200 years thatWood (2009), quoting scientist Paul Crutzen, has suggested that geologists should henceforth refer to these two centuries as the “anthropocene” period. In that time, according to Wood, humans have reshaped about half of the Earth’s surface. While some of this reshaping has been unintended, for the most part it has constituted deliberate engineering, that is, the application of science, technology and know-how to achieve particular ends. The result has been the transformation of the earth, identified by Kates (1987) as one of the key strands of the analysis of human/environment relations, and one of the core concerns of geography as an academic discipline. “Earth” being a concept with many meanings, here we use it to refer to the surface of our planet, which provides the environment for human habitation, and that thin layer of earth’s crust underneath the surface from which humans deriv...

A software engineering lifecycle standard for very small enterprises
(2008)
Laporte, Claude; Alexandre, Simon; O'Connor, Rory
Abstract:
Industry recognizes that very small enterprises (VSE), that develop parts involving software components are very important to the economy. These parts are often integrated into products of larger enterprises. Failure to deliver a quality product on time and within budget threatens the competitiveness of both organizations. One way to mitigate these risks is to haveall suppliers of a product chain put recognized engineering practices in place. Many international standards and models such as ISO/IEC12207 or CMMI have been developed to capture proven engineering practices. However, these standards were not designed for very small development organizations, those with less than 25 employees, and are consequently difficult to apply in such settings. An ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7 Working Group has been established to address these difficulties by producing a software engineering standard tailored to VSE.

Multiple multimodal mobile devices: Lessons learned from engineering lifelog solutions
(2012)
Byrne, Daragh; Kelly, Liadh; Jones, Gareth J.F.
Abstract:
For lifelogging, or the recording of one’s life history through digital means, to be successful, a range of separate multimodal mobile devices must be employed. These include smartphones such as the N95, the Microsoft SenseCam – a wearable passive photo capture device, or wearable biometric devices. Each collects a facet of the bigger picture, through, for example, personal digital photos, mobile messages and documents access history, but unfortunately, they operate independently and unaware of each other. This creates significant challenges for the practical application of these devices, the use and integration of their data and their operation by a user. In this chapter we discuss the software engineering challenges and their implications for individuals working on integration of data from multiple ubiquitous mobile devices drawing on our experiences working with such technology over the past several years for the development of integrated personal lifelogs. The chapter serves as ...

Sustainability on engineering programmes; the need for a holistic approach
(2009)
Byrne, Edmond P.; Fitzpatrick, John J.
Abstract:
The teaching of sustainability on engineering curricula has increasingly become an essential feature. This has coincided with an increased focus on sustainability by professional institutions through stated policy positions and documents, though accreditation documentation has yet to be brought into line with these emerging positions. The creation of a sustainable society is a complex multi-disciplinary multi-stage project that will necessarily dominate mankind’s endeavour throughout the coming century. The pathway to a road towards sustainability will require a paradigm shift among society in general. Sustainability is a normative endeavour with uncertain outcomes requiring collaboration, teamwork and an ability to work with, respect and learn from other disciplines and professions as well as local communities and governments. This is largely new territory for the engineer. Moreover this approach can only be embraced by the engineer who sees value in and a rationale for pursuing it...

Implementation of hierarchical design for manufacture rules in manufacturing processes
(2008)
Parvez, Masud
Abstract:
In order to shorten the product development cycle time, minimise overall cost and smooth transition into production, early consideration of manufacturing processes is important. Design for Manufacture (DFM) is the practice of designing products with manufacturing issues using an intelligent system, which translates 3D solid models into manufacturable features. Many existing and potential applications, particularly in the field of manufacturing, require various aspects of features technology. In all engineering fields geometric modelling wluch accurately represents the shape of a whole engineering component has become accepted for a wide range of applications. To apply DFM rules or guidelines in manufacturing processes, they have to be systematised and organised into a hierarchical rule system. Rules at the higher level of the hierarchical system are applied to more generic manufacturing features, and specific rules are applied to more detailed features. This enables the number of ru...

Second level education and the decline in popularity of engineering within an Irish context
(2011)
Lynch, Raymond; Walsh, Michael T.
Abstract:
This paper examines the obligatory but often contentious relationship that exists between contemporary second level education and undergraduate student course choice within an Irish context. A survey of 1,723 students from across four second level schools and all year groups was conducted asking students to elect a future career they would most like to pursue. The results of this survey served to highlight the declining allure of engineering as a future career for students as they progress through second level. Focus groups were held in all four schools in order to identify current motivations behind student course choice, as well as students’ perceptions regarding the decline in undergraduate engineering numbers. Students frequently highlighted future career prospects, as well as current matriculation requirements as mitigating factors in the uptake of undergraduate engineering degree programmes. Finally this paper also compares and contrasts the perceptions and motivations of curr...

Requirements engineering: a review of processes and techniques
(2009)
Flores, F.; Mora, Manuel; Alvarez, Francisco; O'Connor, Rory; Macías-Luévano, Jorge
Abstract:
Requirements engineering is the process of discovering the purpose and implicit needs of a software system that will be developed and making explicit, complete, and non ambiguous their specification. Its relevance is based in that omission or mistakes generated during this phase and corrected in later phases of a system development lifecycle, will cause cost overruns and delays to the project, as well as incomplete software. This chapter, by using a conceptual research approach, reviews the literature for developing a review of types of requirements, and the processes, activities, and techniques used. Analysis and synthesis of such findings permit to posit a generic requirements engineering process. Implications, trends, and challenges are then reported. While its execution is being mandatory in most SDLCs, it is done partially. Furthermore, the emergence of advanced services-oriented technologies suggests further research for identifying what of the present knowledge is useful and ...

Autonomy requirements engineering: a case study on the Bepicolombo mission
(2013)
Vassev, Emil; Hinchey, Mike
Abstract:
The development of unmanned space exploration missions is closely related to integration and promotion of autonomy in robotic spacecraft. Elicitation and expression of autonomy requirements is one of the most significant challenges the autonomous spacecraft engineers need to overcome. Nowadays, requirements engineering for autonomous systems appears to be a wide open research area with no definitive solution yet. This paper presents an approach to Autonomy Requirements Engineering where Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering is merged with special Generic Autonomy Requirements. To provide a solution to the domain of space missions, the Generic Autonomy Requirements are put in the context of space missions. Further, the approach is applied to a case study based on the ESA’s BepiColombo Mission where mission’s autonomy requirements are elicited.

IT service engineering and management framework (ITS‐EMF)
(2013)
Mora, Manuel; O'Connor, Rory; Raisinghani, Mahesh; Macías-Luévano, Jorge; Gelman, Ovsei
Abstract:
There is a rich amount of literature on services from Information Technology (IT) (Management view) and IT System Engineering (ITSE) (Engineering view) domains. However, such a variety has produced disparate views. Furthermore, given that IT and ITSE service-based systems must be linked to business services (the User view), conceptual interrelationships are increased, causing yet more diversity. This paper identifies that this generates a lack of theoretical conceptual cohesion and leads to multiple practical confusions. To address these issues and to reduce such conceptual gaps, an IT Service Engineering and Management Framework (ITS-EMF) is proposed. ITS-EMF is generated by careful review and examination of the main conceptualizations on IT, ITSE and business services. The paper claims that ITS-EMF is useful for: (1) mapping services concepts from disparate IT literature, (2) reducing service conceptual confusion from the multiple available sources, and (3) providing conceptual li...

Report on the first SEMAT workshop on general theory of software engineering (GTSE 2012)
(2013)
Ralph, Paul; Johnson, Pontus; Jordan, Howell
Abstract:
Many academic disciplines have general theories, which apply across the discipline and underlie much of its research. Examples include the Big Bang theory (cosmology), Maxwell’s equations (electrodynamics), the theories of the cell and evolution (biology), the theory of supply and demand (economics), and the general theory of crime (criminology). Software engineering, in contrast, has no widely-accepted general theory. Consequently, the SEMAT Initiative organized a workshop to encourage development of general theory in software engineering. Workshop participants reached broad consensus that software engineering would benefit from better theoretical foundations, which require diverse theoretical approaches, consensus on a primary dependent variable and better instrumentation and descriptive research.

DECIPHERING THE EFFECT OF CURRICULA ON THE PERCEPTION OF THIRD LEVEL ENGINEERING - A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
(2012)
KELLY, KEVIN
Abstract:
Recent PISA surveys have shown that Ireland?s relative ranking in Mathematics has fallen sharply, while Finland maintains its posit ion at the top of the international table. Simultaneously, Ireland is experiencing a short age of engineers and falling/static demand for engineering programmes, in common wit h many Western economies, while Finland maintains both a strong public image of the p rofession and a sufficient supply of able students into university. The recent economic woes experienced in Ireland have thrown the diffic ulties in the STEM area into sharp focus, and there is, at least currently, a momentum for change in the education system. With Finland having successfully progressed through a similar crisis in the 1990s, and having transformed its education system, it s eems appropriate to examine what lessons can be learned. The structure of the education system at secondar...

The effect of mean pore size in collagen-glycosaminoglycan scaffolds on cell migration and differentiation for bone tissue engineering applications
(2010)
Murphy, Ciara M
Abstract:
<p>Tissue engineering was born from the belief that primary cells could be isolated from a patient, expanded in <em>vitro </em>and seeded onto a substrate that could be grafted back into the patient (Yang <em>et a/, </em>2001) providing a biological alternative to transplantations and prosthesis. There are three main components in tissue engineering, scaffolds, cells and signalling mechanisms that make up the tissue engineering triad. This thesis focuses on the interplay between cell behaviour and scaffold structural properties. Recent studies from our laboratory have developed novel freeze-drying techniques to vary the structure of collagen-glycosaminoglycan (GAG) scaffolds producing scaffolds with mean pores ranging from 85 pm - 325 pm (Haugh <em>et a/, </em>2010). The general aim of this thesis was to investigate, using this range of scaffolds, the effect of mean pore size on cell behaviour in the scaffolds and see how this behaviour vari...

Each year a diagnostic test is given to incoming first year students at both Ordinary and Honours degree levels. This test reveals deficiencies in numerous core areas of mathematics. Many students ignore the help that is available to them and limp through several years of engineering carrying a serious handicap of poor core mathematical skills. Anecdotally, engineering students at all levels can almost complete relatively complex mathematical problems, but end up with the wrong answer by making some very basic errors. The aim of this project is to set up a “module” in core mathematics. The course material is basic but a very high pass mark of 90% is set. Students may repeat this module as often as they like until they achieve a pass mark. An automated examination for this module has been developed on WebCT and a bank of questions has been created. Initially, this project was piloted as pa...

Abstract:
In the Dublin Institute of Technology there are two routes to obtaining an Honours Degree in Engineering. The first is direct entry onto a four year Honours degree. To qualify for this route students must have achieved a grade of 55% or higher in Higher Level Mathematics at second level. For many students who do not have this level of mathematics they may enter a three year ordinary degree and then have the option of transferring into year 3 of the Honours degree. Many of our students struggle with this transition, in particular with the level of Maths. In a survey of almost 300 Engineering students, it was shown that a large percentage struggled with key skills in maths and tended to avoid questions on differentiation and integration. Here, we have developed an Advanced Mathematics Diagnostic exercise for students entering into 3rd year of the Honours degree. In addition, we have set up an online test that encourages students to revise (or perhaps learn for the first time) many of ...

Engineering tissues with a zonal structure and composition mimicking native articular cartilage
(2015)
Luo, Lu
Abstract:
THESIS 10667
Engineering cartilage grafts with comparable functionality to the native tissue remains a major challenge in the field of regenerative medicine. The overall goal of this thesis was to engineer a cartilage graft with depth-dependent structure, composition and mechanical properties mimicking the native tissue. It has been previously shown that cartilage grafts mimicking certain aspects of the zonal composition of articular cartilage can be engineered by regulating the oxygen and mechanical environment through the depth of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-IVISCs) seeded hydrogels (Thorpe et al., 2013). Such strategies were however limited by hypertrophy and the poor mechanical properties of the engineered grafts, motivating the use of infrapatellar fat pad derived mesenchymal stem cells (IFP-MSCs) for zonal cartilage tissue engineering.

The Development of a Fibrin-Collagen-Glycosaminoglycan Scaffold for Heart Valve Tissue Engineering

Abstract:
<p>Valvular heart disease is predicted to be the next cardiac epidemic (d’Arcy et al., 2011) and valve replacement, using bioprosthetic or mechanical valves, is the only therapy currently available for treating dysfunctional valves. While these valve substitutes undoubtedly save lives, they also have well documented limitations and for paediatric patients, their most debilitating limitation is an inability to grow concurrently with a growing body. Tissue engineered heart valves (HV) offer the potential of a valve replacement that can integrate fully with the native vasculature, facilitating growth and remodelling of the valve over time. However, many tissue engineering approaches have failed due to cell-mediated contraction, resulting in valves with leaflets that cannot maintain a tight seal over time. Therefore, the overall goal of the research presented in this PhD project was to develop a natural biomaterial scaffold for HV tissue engineering, capable of resisting cell-medi...

The impact of language of instruction on quality of science and engineering education in Libya: qualitative study of faculty members
(2013)
Tamtam, Abdalmonem; Gallagher, Fiona; Naher, Sumsun; Olabi, Abdul-Ghani
Abstract:
The qualitative study aimed to investigate teaching staff views on language of instruction impact on the quality of education in two Libyan universities, where faculties of science and engineering at University of Al-Jabal Al-Garbi use Arabic as medium of instruction, and faculties of science and engineering at Nasser International University use English as medium of instruction. The participants in the study were five faculty members from each university teaching different science and engineering fields interviewed regarding their views on using Arabic only, English Only or Arabic-English Bilingualism as medium of education. The Findings of the interviews revealed that teachers of both the cases have almost similar views with slight variations regarding all the three medium of instructions. According to participants of both cases, English would have bad impact on the students’ academic performance for this reason Participants of case 1 think that students do not like English. On ot...

Towards 3D bioprinting of anatomically accurate, mechanically reinforced cartilage templates for biological joint resurfacing

CRITCHLEY, SUSAN
Abstract:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a pervasive disease worldwide which affects the articular cartilage and the underlying bone in synovial joints such as the knee. Currently, the only treatment for a severely degenerated knee joint is a total or partial joint replacement with a metal and polymer prosthesis. Whilst these procedures are well established, failures are not uncommon resulting in a more complicated revision surgery. The aging worldwide population and the increase in the instances of younger patients being diagnosed with OA are primary motivations behind the pursuit of new treatment options. Tissue engineering approaches have been gaining traction in recent years, having being successfully translated to the clinic to treat small focal defects. These therapies combine cells, scaffolds and signalling molecules to drive tissue formation and maturation to regenerate damaged tissues. 3D printing technology can be used in tandem with tissue engineering strategies to fabricate constructs tha...

Formative assessment in mathematics for engineering students
(2017)
Ní Fhloinn, Eabhnat; Carr, Michael
Abstract:
In this paper, we present a range of formative assessment types for engineering mathematics, including in-class exercises, homework, mock examination questions, table quizzes, presentations, critical analyses of statistical papers, peer-to-peer teaching, online assessments and electronic voting systems. We provide practical tips for the implementation of such assessments, with a particular focus on time or resource constraints and large class sizes, as well as effective methods of feedback. In addition, we consider the benefits of such formative assessments for students and staff.
