Download or read book Autonorama written by Peter Norton and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Autonorama: The Illusory Promise of High-Tech Driving, historian Peter Norton argues that driverless cars cannot be the safe, sustainable, and inclusive "mobility solutions" that tech companies and automakers are promising us. The salesmanship behind the "driverless future" is distracting us from better ways to get around that we can implement now. Unlike autonomous vehicles, these alternatives are inexpensive, safe, sustainable, and inclusive. Norton takes the reader on an engaging ride--from the GM Futurama exhibit to "smart" highways and vehicles--to show how we are once again being sold car dependency in the guise of mobility. Autonorama is hopeful, advocating for wise, proven, humane mobility that we can invest in now, without waiting for technology that is forever just out of reach.

Download or read book Learning to Solve Problems written by David H. Jonassen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-09-13 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date look at problem solving research and practice over the last fifteen years. The first chapter describes differences in types of problems, individual differences among problem-solvers, as well as the domain and context within which a problem is being solved. Part one describes six kinds of problems and the methods required to solve them. Part two goes beyond traditional discussions of case design and introduces six different purposes or functions of cases, the building blocks of problem-solving learning environments. It also describes methods for constructing cases to support problem solving. Part three introduces a number of cognitive skills required for studying cases and solving problems. Finally, Part four describes several methods for assessing problem solving. Key features includes: Teaching Focus – The book is not merely a review of research. It also provides specific research-based advice on how to design problem-solving learning environments. Illustrative Cases – A rich array of cases illustrates how to build problem-solving learning environments. Part two introduces six different functions of cases and also describes the parameters of a case. Chapter Integration – Key theories and concepts are addressed across chapters and links to other chapters are made explicit. The idea is to show how different kinds of problems, cases, skills, and assessments are integrated. Author expertise – A prolific researcher and writer, the author has been researching and publishing books and articles on learning to solve problems for the past fifteen years. This book is appropriate for advanced courses in instructional design and technology, science education, applied cognitive psychology, thinking and reasoning, and educational psychology. Instructional designers, especially those involved in designing problem-based learning, as well as curriculum designers who seek new ways of structuring curriculum will find it an invaluable reference tool.

Download or read book Ergonomics in the Automotive Design Process written by Vivek D. Bhise and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automotive design continues to evolve at a rapid pace. As electric cars become ever more commonplace on the roads to the advent of the driverless vehicle, understanding the ergonomics behind automotive engineering becomes ever more paramount. Vehicle attributes must be considered early during the new vehicle development program by coordinated work of multi-disciplinary teams to begin creating vehicle specifications and development of vehicle attribute requirements. In Ergonomics in the Automotive Design Process: Concepts, Issues and Methods, Vivek D. Bhise covers the need-to-know fundamentals as to what makes an ergonomically sound vehicle. This book covers the entire range of ergonomics issues involved in designing a car or truck and offers evaluation techniques to avoid costly mistakes and assure high customer satisfaction. Across 13 chapters, vehicle design and the attributes of vehicle handling, appearance (interior and exterior styling), safety and security, infotainment, noise and vibrations, emissions, costs and process compatibility are considered in the context of ergonomics. New material to this edition includes coverage of ergonomics in the systems engineering process, decision-making and risks in automotive product programs and ergonomic considerations in electric vehicle development. This book will allow the reader to develop a more comprehensive knowledge of issues facing the developers of automotive products and delivers methods to manage communication, coordination and integration processes. It provides more tools in implementing systems engineering to minimize the risks of delays and cost overruns, and most importantly, creates the right product for its customers. The reader will develop a knowledge of future in- vehicle devices that are easy to program and use, safe, cheap to manufacture and assemble and are eco-friendly From an author with over forty years of experience in automotive design, this title is an ideal read for students and practitioners of ergonomics, human factors, automotive design, civil engineering, product design, work design and mechanical engineering. Vivek D. Bhise is currently a LEO Lecturer/ Visiting Professor and a Professor in post-retirement of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. He received his B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering (1965) from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India, M.S. in Industrial Engineering (1966) from the University of California, Berkeley, and PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering (1971) from the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio.
