This paper presents details of the pneumatics module which is one of several modules of the in-house practical training programme (IHPT) of the School of Mechanical and Production Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. The IHPT, which is a unique and compulsory eight-week practical training programme, is an integral part of the secondyear curriculum. The programme was implemented in the early 1980s and, having undergone various improvements over the years, has now evolved into its present form. The paper discusses the merits of having the pneumatics module, the assessment criteria, how students are grouped, student feedback, the roles played by the supervisors, laboratory technicians assisting the supervisors, and the students. It also presents some typical exercises which students are required to complete in the module.

Abstract Present paper aims to give an insight in the field of Mechatronics, specifically its standard of education in India. We have investigated this field right from its origin. We have analyzed how it expanded as a proper discipline of engineering and in which direction the development in this field is going now and, at the same time, its status of education in India and where we are in addressing the industry’s need both in terms of quality and quantity of students. We have also assessed why Mechatronics is an essential branch considering its multi-disciplinary nature. The pount is that it holds blatant importance for time to come. Life’s most complicated problems cannot be addressed by the knowledge of only one engineering science. In today’s world we need professionals who are “good jack(s) of all trades and master(s) of one” changing the old saying. For implementing this edited saying students will need to address real-world problems, so laboratory-based learning should be even more emphasized in this branch. Consequently, we have also looked on the laboratory works that are included in these courses, considering what aspects should be covered in them. Skillsets required by students such as implementation of hardware, coding, system modeling have been also discussed. Future prospects in this discipline have also been explored. The epilogue consists in recommendations to educational institutions based on our findings.

Abstract Introduction/Objective Developing the next generation of clinical laboratory scientist (CLS) supervisors who are competent and comprehensively prepared to meet the industry’s healthcare demands can be challenging. When a CLS is promoted to a supervisory position and then found to be incompetent due to the lack of experience, skills, knowledge and/or abilities. To identify the root cause of this phenomena a comprehensive review of the literature explored management competency theories and concepts (Katz’s three-skills approach, the Peter principle, Sandwith’s competency domain model, and National Center for Healthcare Leadership’s health leadership competency model). The management competency theories provided the foundational theoretical framework for this study. Methods Quantitative and qualitative data was used to address the research questions. A modified Tipton’s instrument/survey was used. The survey used demographic, open-ended, and Likert-type questions. Results This study had a total of 247 participants, who self-identified as CLS supervisor or manager, and completed an online survey. The results showed an increased competency level due to experience, continuous learning, mentors, formal education, leadership programs and delegation of tasks. The majority of the participants did not feel that the College of American Pathologists regulatory standard of a general CLS supervisor was sufficient to produce a competent CLS supervisor. Training and education was recommended to help transition CLS practitioner into the role of CLS supervisor. Other recommendations include mentors, succession planning, career ladder/leadership programs, experience, and support. Conclusion In order to develop the next generation of CLS supervisors, who are comprehensively prepared to meet the industry’s healthcare demands, healthcare organizations are going to need to employ evidence-based human resource management strategies. Human resource management strategies, such as training and development programs, leadership programs, mentor programs, and succession planning, should include administrative and interpersonal domain knowledge, skills, abilities and experience

International Journal of Early Childhood Special Education 13, no. 1 (May 5, 2021): 203–19. http://dx.doi.org/10.9756/int-jecse/v13i1.211023.
Full textAbstract:
The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) is a significant scheme that works for rehabilitation of different categories of children including special needs children at pre-school level in India. For rehabilitation of special needs children at pre-school level, the ICDS functionaries and parents (of the children) play the vital role. For developing the favorable attitude of ICDS functionaries and parents towards rehabilitation of special needs children at pre-school level, it is important to study the attitude of ICDS functionaries and parents towards rehabilitation of special needs children at pre-school level. Hence, in this study an attempt was made to study the attitudes of ICDS functionaries (Child Development Project Officers, Supervisors and Anganwadi workers) and parents towards rehabilitation of special needs children at pre-school level. The study was a descriptive survey-cum-comparative type research. 36 Child Development Project Officers (CDPOs), 108 Supervisors, 108 Anganwadi workers (AWWs), and 216 parents under thirty six ICDS projects from nine administrative districts of Assam were taken as participants of the study. A self-developed attitude scale was used to collect data from the participants. Mainly quantitative data analysis techniques were used to analyze the data of the study. The major findings of the study indicated that all the ICDS functionaries and parents have shown high attitude towards rehabilitation of special needs children at pre-school level; and CDPOs possess better attitude than the supervisors, and parents possess better attitude than the supervisors towards rehabilitation of special needs children at pre-school level. And from the study, it is also found that the background variable ‘experience’ of the supervisors acts as a determining factor in determining the attitude of the supervisors towards rehabilitation of special needs children at pre-school whereas no other background variable of the supervisors and none of the background variables of the CDPOs, AWWs and parents acts as a determining factor in determining their attitude towards rehabilitation of special needs children at pre-school level.

Higher Education has the function of developing capabilities in order to educate the nation's life in accordance with Law Number 12 of 2012 concerning Higher Education. The aim of this research is to analyze and describe in depth through a field study of the quality manajement of midwifery clinical laboratories in increasing the competence of graduates (case studies of midwifery practice at Polytechnic Bhakti Asih Purwakarta and Stikes Kharisma Karawang. The research method in this dissertation used a qualitative approach. Data were collected using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation study. The data of this study were checked for correctness and reliability through the triangulation process. Based on the results of the research, the implementation process of the midwifery clinical laboratory practice learning at the Bhakti Asih Polytechnic of Purwakarta and Stikes Kharisma Karawang went well. The method taught to students when conducting laboratory practice simulations makes a positive contribution to student competence and graduate competence. Weak points that arise in the implementation of learning are limitations in the infrastructure and facilities in each institution, and practice supervisors are still lacking in clinical experience in the field so that manajement has an impact on the quality of midwifery clinical laboratory manajement.

Full textAbstract:
Simulators allow the inexperienced to practice their skills prior to exercise on live animals. Therefore, they bear great potential in overcoming the dilemma between the present demand for high-quality practical training involving live animals whilst implementing the 3R principle according to the Directive 2010/63/EU. Currently, one mouse and six rat simulators are commercially available. As data on their impact are lacking, this project aimed at providing an overview of the awareness, implementation, and methodical and practical satisfaction provided by 35 course trainers and supervisors of laboratory animal training courses for mice and rats regarding the simulators available. Although simulators facilitate training of relevant techniques and relatively high awareness of them seemed to be present, their implementation is currently very low, possibly due to lack of meeting the respondents’ demands. Thus, this study revealed the overall approval of simulator training and general demand for user-optimized, realistic, and financially affordable simulators and, hence, indicates a strong impulse for new developments strengthening the 3Rs as a benefit to all animals used in research.

Full textAbstract:
This research used Novakian concept mapping and interview techniques to track changes in knowledge and understanding amongst students and their supervisors in the course of full-time research towards a laboratory science-based PhD. This detailed longitudinal case study analysis measures both cognitive change in the specific subjects that are the topic for research, and the understanding of the process of PhD level research and supervision. The data show the challenges for students and supervisors from different national, ethnic, cultural, and academic backgrounds and traditions with a focus on how this impacts the PhD research process and development. Working cross-culturally, and often in a setting different from either the student or the supervisor’s background and training, can lead to a lack of common language and understanding for the development of a pedagogically oriented supervisory relationship. Documenting change in knowledge and understanding among PhD students and their supervisors is key to surfacing what the joint processes of mutual democratic research and of supervision may entail. This study explores how one of these key processes is a student’s developing sense of belonging (or non-belonging). Specifically, this paper engages the concepts of belonging, and democratic education through mutual learning, to explore the practices of working across national, cultural, ethnic, and diverse academic backgrounds, for both supervisors and students. Doctoral study is understood as a situated context in which belonging also acts as a gateway for who can join the global scientific community.

The purpose of this research is that education is a big responsibility of a nation. All components and factors supporting the success of education have a very close relationship. Educational staff include school/madrasah principals, education unit supervisors, administrative staff, librarians, laboratory personnel, technicians, study group managers, tutors and cleaners. In the context of educational institutions, one of the key factors for the success of managing educational institutions is the leadership of school/madrasah principals, pesantren caregivers, deans, rectors, and all elements of education. This research is a conceptual research using qualitative methods. The results of the study indicate that human resources are company assets that must be maintained. Empowerment of human resources that is managed regularly and systematically will produce quality and competitive human resources.

This chapter is devoted to the legacy of Aden and Marjorie Meinel in several areas, including astronomy, optical fabrication and testing, engineering and education in the optical sciences, the foundations of solar thermal energy independence, national defense, and major education facilities. From Yerkes Observatory Aden recruited the eminent Gerard Kuiper to join the faculty at the University of Arizona, who later founded the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory (LPL). The Meinels influenced the lives of perhaps millions of people around the globe, not only by their international lectures, publications, and pioneering solar power farms, but also by assisting in telescope design and construction in India and China. Aden’s comprehensive understanding of observational astronomy and atmospheric physics led to his selection of Kitt Peak mountain for the U.S. National Observatory. Aden’s character is revealed in reminiscences by former students.

The portal sets out to use the simplest and most persuasive means to motivate and enable sustainability management in those enterprises that have so far taken little or no interest in this aspect of management. Hyderabad, a prime example of an emerging mega city, is a laboratory where the goal of becoming a sustainable mega city faces of difficult challenges. The intention to work towards a sustainable future will be difficult to achieve without adequate data, tools and implementation strategies. The research idea of this approach in Hyderabad was set up in a research program funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

An unprecedented outbreak of unknown aetiology pneumonia occurred in Wuhan of Hubei, China, in December 2019. The WHO reported a novel coronavirus causative agent outbreak with limited evidence of COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 embodies the ssRNA genome containing 29891 nucleotides to encode 9860 amino acids and shows different types of mutations, such as D614G. The epidemic of this virus officially declared an emergency of International Concern by the WHO in January 2020. In the first week of April 2021, a new strain of coronavirus named N-440 was reported in Chandigarh, India. The number of cases of laboratory-confirmed coronavirus has risen at an unprecedented pace worldwide, with more than 132,573,231 cases currently confirmed, including 2,876,411 deaths as of April 06th 2021. The lack of funding to survive the epidemic of this virus, coupled with the concern of overloaded healthcare systems, has driven a lot of countries into a partial/total lockout situation. This epidemic has caused chaos, and a rapid therapy of the disease would be a therapeutic medication with experience of use in patients to overcome the current pandemic. In the recent global emergency, researchers, clinicians and public health care experts around the world continue to search for emerging technologies to help tackle the pandemic of this virus. In this chapter, we rely on numerous reputable sources to provide a detailed analysis of all the main pandemic relevant aspects. This research illustrates not only the immediate safety effects connected with the COVID-19 epidemic but also its impact on the global socioeconomy, education, social life and employment. Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a significant supporting capacity in countering COVID-19 and may prompt arrangements quicker than we can, in any case, achieve in different zones and applications. With technological developments in AI combined with improved computing capacity, the repurposing of AI-enhanced medications may be useful in the cases of this virus. Artificial intelligence has gotten one of those advances which can undoubtedly distin- guish the transmission of this virus; exceptionally hazardous victims are recognized and are significant for constant control of that contamination. Artificial intelligence could genuinely assist us in battling against this infection through network testing, clinical administrations and advice on controlling diseases. This chapter addresses recent applications of AI in fighting the pandemics of this virus, e.g., monitoring of the epidemic, forecast of hazards, screening and diagnosis, improvement of medical treatment, fake news breaks, strengthening lockdowns, preventing cyber-attacks and finally, effective online education. This chapter will provide a clear definition and general understanding of the field of this virus pandemic and the role of AI to readers and researchers.

Efficient and effective education and training of nuclear engineering students, nuclear reactor operators, their supervisors, and other personnel are critical for the safe operation and maintenance of any nuclear reactor, whether for research or commercial power generation. Radiation and reactor laboratories are a very important part of such training. Recent increase in the student population in nuclear engineering programs has put strains on laboratory resources. This increase in student population, constraints on resources and qualitative improvements in gaming technology have led researchers in the field of radiological and nuclear engineering to explore virtual, game-like models to provide the needed experience [1–3]. Though virtual lab experience may never completely replace an actual physical lab experience in educational institutions, in some ways virtual labs may provide a better experience than limited cookbook style executions in a physical lab or reactor operator training course. We have earlier reported our initial efforts toward the development of a generic virtual and interactive laboratory environment [3]. This virtual lab presents a fully immersive learning experience. We here report the specifics of a radiation lab in which half-life and shielding experiments can be conducted, and simulation-based real-physics data can be gathered.

Increasing demands on the productivity of complex systems, such as machine tools and their steadily growing technological importance will require the application of new methods in the product development process. This paper shows that the analysis of the simulation results from the simulation based mechatronic model of a complex system followed by a procedure that allows a better understanding of the dynamic behavior and interactions of the components. This paper will highlight the results of interaction between National Institute of Technology, (NITK) Surathkal, India and University of District of Columbia (UDC) in the area of Mechatronics and virtual testing. Mechatronics is a design philosophy, which is an integrating approach to engineering design. Through a mechanism of simulating interdisciplinary ideas and techniques, mechatronics provides ideal conditions to raise the synergy, thereby providing a catalytic effect for the new solutions to technically complex situations. Many real-world systems can be modeled by the mass-spring-damper system and hence considering one such system, namely Mechatronics Technology Demonstrator (MTD) is taken as the first example. MTD is a portable low cost, technology demonstrator that can be used for teaching mechatronics system design. The paper highlights design optimization of several mechatronic products using the procedures derived by the use of mass spring damper based mechatronic system. The second example is on web based virtual experimentation, where the experiment is conducted by remote triggering of Torsion Testing Machine. Remote triggered (RT) experimentation is a method of remotely controlling the laboratory equipment by an internet based system from a webpage. RT lab is an excellent way for the students to get access to expensive state of the art labs and equipment. The present work deals with the systematic approach of realizing a remote triggered experimentation on a horizontal torsional testing machine which can be triggered from a tablet PC or a laptop through an internet connection directed to the server computer system. RT lab algorithms are built in the server computer and the information and controls will be displayed on an html webpage where the experiment can be conducted. In this experiment the machine is remotely started through a command in the webpage which will be directed to the main server computer system from a wireless handheld internet enabled device such as laptops or tablet PCs and render the suitable graph of the experiment in the device. The experiment is completely in the control of the user. The person can either on/off the main equipment with the help of the device within the given slot of time and the data from the graph can be retrieved for further analysis. The first example uses a software platform of VisSim and the second example uses a software platform LabView. Although located in two different locations and countries, this paper examines the common mechatronics philosophy and the design approach used in modeling, simulation, optimization and virtual experimentation in building robust mechatronics product and procedures.

Abstract Engineering education in many countries still follows a traditional model where the curriculum is broadly divided into lecture-based theory classes and laboratory classes where experiments are conducted by students using step by step instructions. This type of curriculum has heavy emphasis on theory and less on exploration, application and design. In this model, opportunities for students to do hands-on activities such as building hardware and deal with troubleshooting, writing simulation models and learning by failing, etc. are quite limited. Also, many instructors in these systems are uncomfortable to adopt more hands-on teaching for the fear of failure. In 2019, in China, I taught a freshmen-level course on Introduction to Robotics using Arduino-based hardware where the students had to work in teams to build and program a mobile robot using parts that were provided to them. In 2020, I taught two classes in India for junior/senior level students on Modeling and Simulation of Mechatronic Systems and Modeling and Simulation of Hybrid Vehicles, respectively. In both courses the students spent over 80% of class time developing models and running simulations. In all three courses, enrolling about 60 students each, extensive survey-based assessment showed students are hungry for this type of hands-on experience and would be embracing these types of classes with a lot of enthusiasm. This paper discusses the details of the three classes and results from all the survey-based assessments that were done in the courses.
