A Look Inside the Engineering Students' Backpack. Differences in engineering capital according to gender or migration background. KU Leuven
Every student has a unique combination of experiences, resources and social networks related to engineering, called ‘engineering capital’, derived from Archer’s concept of ‘science capital’. The engineering capital gathered throughout life creates a backpack that impacts someone’s aspirations to study engineering, as well as the performance and persistence in the programme itself. Engineering technology is one of the most homogeneous fields ...
Exploring the Role of Creativity in Software Engineering Hasselt University KU Leuven
In order to solve today's complex problems in the world of software development, technical knowledge is no longer enough. Previous studies investigating and identifying nontechnical skills of software engineers show that creative skills also play an important role in tackling difficult problems. However, creativity is typically a very vague concept to which everyone gives their own interpretation. Also, there is little research that focuses ...
Rapid Prototyping as an elegant Production Tool for Polymeric Tissue Engineering Scaffolds: a review Ghent University
In the current review, we aim to give an overview of different rapid prototyping (RP) methods which have been applied so far for the production of polymeric scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. After a general introduction on tissue engineering, scaffolds and biomaterials, both the well established RP techniques and the novel more recent developments in the field will be discussed. Comparison between RP and the classical techniques for ...
The mismeasure of machine: synthetic biology and the trouble with engineering metaphors Ghent University
The scientific study of living organisms is permeated by machine and design metaphors. Genes are thought of as the U+201CblueprintU+201D of an organism, organisms are U+201Creverse engineeredU+201D to discover their functionality, and living cells are compared to biochemical factories, complete with assembly lines, transport systems, messenger circuits, etc. Although the notion of design is indispensable to think about adaptations, and ...
