111	The Biowall Field Test Analysis and Optimization Jacob J. Torres (5930906) 14 May 2019 (has links) <div> <p>A residential botanical air filtration system (Biowall) to investigate the potential for using phytoremediation to remove contaminants from indoor air was developed. A full scale and functioning prototype was installed in a residence located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The prototype was integrated into the central Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system of the home. This research evaluated the Biowall operation to further its potential as an energy efficient and sustainable residential air filtration system.<br></p> <p> </p> <p>The main research effort began after the Biowall was installed in the residence. A field evaluation, which involved a series of measurements and data analysis, was conducted to identify treatments to improve Biowall performance. The study was conducted for approximately one year (Spring 2017-Spring 2018). Based on the initial data set, prioritization of systems in need of improvement was identified and changes were imposed. Following a post-treatment testing period, a comparison between the initial and final performances was completed with conclusions based on this comparison. </p> <p> </p> <p>The engineering and analysis reported in this document focus on the air flow path through the Biowall, plant growth, and the irrigation system. The conclusions provide an extensive evaluation of the design, operation, and function of the Biowall subsystems under review.</p> </div> <br> Botany CAD/CAM Systems Metals and Alloy Materials Engineering not elsewhere classified Simulation and Modelling Computational Logic and Formal Languages Engineering Design Methods Engineering Systems Design Additive Manufacturing Botanical air filtration Building Automated System BAS Biowall phytoremediation.

112	TEACHER SUPPORTS USING THE FACILITATOR MODEL FOR DUAL CREDIT IN OPEN ENDED DESIGN THINKING COURSEWORK: UNIVERSITY COLLABORATION AND HIGH SCHOOL IMPLEMENTATION Scott Tecumseh Thorne (10730865) 30 April 2021 (has links) The facilitator model for dual credit offers a way for student to earn directly transcripted credit to colleges and universities, overcoming many barriers faced by other dual credit models. Successful implementation of this model requires high degree of involvement from the cooperating institution. This IRB approved qualitative case study explored the needs of five teacher facilitators in both summer professional development and on-going support throughout the school year when implementing a facilitator model for dual credit with open-ended design coursework. Code-recode and axial coding techniques were applied to over 90 hours of transcribed data, artifacts, and observations from a seven month period to find emerging themes and offer recommendations for implementation.<p></p> Higher education Secondary education Education assessment and evaluation Educational counselling Educational technology and computing Other education not elsewhere classified Engineering design Educational psychology Dual Credit Transcribed Credit Direct Credit Facilitator Model Professional Learning Professional Development Barriers to Dual Credit Teacher Facilitator Student Success Coach Teacher Supports Design Design Thinking Engineering Design Technological Design Open-ended Problem Solving Educational Counselling Education Secondary Education Higher Education Education Assessment and Evaluation Educational Psychology Educational Technology and Computing Engineering Design Methods
