The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the status quo of engineering education, especially in highly interactive, hands-on design classes. Here, we present an example of how we effectively adjusted an intensive hands-on, group project-based engineering course, Medical Device Design & Innovation, to a remote learning curriculum. We first describe the ...

The use of educational videos in schools and universities was on the rise before COVID-19. Now, with continuing disruption by the pandemic, more educators are developing educational videos to support student learning. Similarly, students are increasingly looking to places like YouTube for educational content.

There is no doubt that sustainable development (SD) education is crucial forachieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and we believe thatengineering students are important actors for developing SD actions. However, wehave few information about how engineering students think about SD issues. Thepapers aims to investigate engineering stude...

Knowledge sharing between different types of organisations, in this case the University-Industry (U-I) relation, contains barriers related to the differentiation of structure and purpose for each organisation. Both the university and industry have to make sure that they have access to data and information. This accessibility enables the value-added...

Since its emergence a few decades ago, nanotechnology has been shown to be a perfect example of a crossroad between different fundamentals sciences. In the last 10 years, the continuous progress of classical top-down lithography and the use of alternative bottom-up elaboration methods has allowed new and smaller components to be created. Their comb...
