A normalização permite: uma fácil reutilização; a portabilidade dos conteúdos criados; a padronização dos processos de criação; e a gestão dos conteúdos de aprendizagem. Porém, normalizar um ambiente de Educação a Distância já existente não é uma tarefa trivial e necessita de uma adequação tanto dos conteúdos de aprendizagem quanto do sistema de e-learning, pois toda a arquitetura é alterada, sendo necessário separar o conteúdo da estrutura. Esta pesquisa propõe e implementa uma arquite-tura denominada Fábrica de Adequação capaz de promover a interoperabilidade dos conteúdos educacionais e promover a adequação de recursos educacionais para Objetos de Aprendizagem Reutilizáveis, respeitando a norma SCORM, utilizando de tecnologias de Agentes de Software,Meta-dado (SCORM) e Web Services, os quais dispõem de mecanismo de auton / To promote learning object reusability it is necessary to provide the normalization of its contents so that they can work appropriately in any e-learning system. The normalization alows easy reusability, portability of created contents, standardization of processes of creation, and management of learning objects. However, to normalize an existing E-learning environment it is not a trivial task and it requires adequacy either of the learning contents and the e-learning system, once the whole architecture is modified, being necessary though to separate the content from the structure. This research proposes and implements an architecture caled Adequacy Factory which is capable of promoting the interoperability of educational contents and the adequacy of educational resources for Learning Object Reusability, respecting the SCORM norm by using technologies such as Soft-ware Agents, Meta-Data (SCORM), and Web Services which make use of autonomy mechanism, interaction, invocation, access, and reuse of services

No. of bitstreams: 1 José Renato Spina Martins.pdf: 15589283 bytes, checksum: 676751663be399e692c754413e75ec00 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-06-27 / Universidade Católica de Santos - Católica de Santos / O presente trabalho tem como temática o processo de construção da docência do engenheiro no ensino superior, especificamente nos cursos de engenharia civil. A problemática desta pesquisa emerge do contexto formativo do engenheiro no curso de bacharelado, ou mesmo em cursos de pós-graduação que não visa à formação de docentes, o que me motivou a investigar como os engenheiros enfrentam os desafios da docência. Com esta pesquisa, busco compreender como os engenheiros se tornam professores e conhecer as concepções sobre os saberes pedagógicos que constroem nesse processo. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com três engenheiros-professores que lecionam em cursos de Engenharia Civil, em diferentes instituições de ensino superior da Baixada Santista, que conta com um total de sete instituições que oferecem esse curso. A opção pelas entrevistas com um licenciado, um mestre e um doutor, parte do pressuposto de que, em função de seu percurso acadêmico, podem ter sistematizado as competências e saberes pedagógicos que consideram relevantes para a docência, podendo contribuir de forma mais efetiva com os propósitos desta pesquisa. Inicialmente foi efetuada uma revisão bibliográfica sobre as artigos e trabalhos publicados no banco de teses e dissertações da CAPES, na Revista de Educação em Engenharia e em periódicos da SciELO, assim como nos anais de edições do Congresso Brasileiro do Educação de Engenharia ¿ COBENGE. A pesquisa também incluiu um levantamento das grades curriculares dos cursos de mestrado em Engenharia Civil, no intuito de identificar disciplinas pedagógicas neles oferecidas. Na etapa posterior, organizamos dados que consideramos relevantes sobre o histórico dos cursos de engenharia, com base nos estudos realizados por Bazzo e Pereira e Valente, e problematizamos as diretrizes curriculares atuais. As análises dos dados das entrevistas foram realizadas com o aporte teórico de pesquisadores renomados na área de Educação, entre eles, Pimenta e Anastasiou, Almeida, Nóvoa, Garcia, Sacristán, Masetto e Gaeta, e Franco. O método para a coleta dos dados da pesquisa qualitativa utilizou entrevistas semiestruturadas, tomando por base os estudos de Ludke e André, além de Szymanski, sendo que a análise de conteúdo das entrevistas foi realizada com base nos estudos de Bardin e Franco. Entre os resultados, concluiu-se que a (trans) formação do engenheiro-professor envolve muitos fatores, entre eles, a aprendizagem da docência por meio da própria prática, a colaboração dos colegas mais experientes, a formação contínua, e o apoio institucional. Nesse aspecto, destaca-se a importância do empenho das instituições em incentivar e aprimorar a formação continuada dos professores para a melhoria do desenvolvimento profissional do engenheiro-professor na docência da engenharia civil. / The present work deals with the transition process from engineer to teacher in higher education, specifically in civil engineering courses. The problem of this research emerges from the training context of the engineer in the baccalaureate course, or even in postgraduate courses that do not aim at the training of teachers, which motivates us to investigate how the engineers face the challenges of teaching. We intend, with this research, to understand the professional path of the engineers who become teachers and to investigate what are their conceptions of education and the pedagogical knowledge that they construct in this process. For the development of the qualitative approach research, we chose semi-structured interviews with three engineer-teachers who teach in Civil Engineering courses, in different institutions of the Baixada Santista, which has a total of seven institutions that offer this course. The choice of interviews with a licensee, a master and a doctor is based on the assumption that, depending on their academic background, they may have systematized the pedagogical skills and knowledge they consider relevant to teaching, and can contribute more effectively to purposes of this research. Initially, a bibliographic review was done on the articles and papers published in the theses and dissertations database of CAPES, in the Journal of Education in Engineering and journals of the SciELO electronic bookstore, as well as in the annals of the previous editions of the Brazilian Conference on Engineering Education - COBENGE , concluding this phase with a research on the CAPES website, in the curricular areas of the master's degree courses in civil engineering, in order to identify pedagogical disciplines offered in them. In the next step, we organize data that we consider relevant to the history of the engineering courses, based on the studies carried out by Bazzo and Pereira and Valente, and discuss the current curricular guidelines. The analyzes of the manifestations of the teachers-coordinators interviewed were carried out with the theoretical contribution of renowned researchers in the area of Education, among them, Pimenta and Anastasiou, Almeida, Nóvoa, García, Sacristán, Masetto and Gaeta, and Franco. The qualitative research data collection method used semi-structured interviews, based on the studies of Ludke and André and Szymanski and analyzed the content of the interviews based on the studies of Badin and Franco, concluding with the importance of the institutions to improve the continuous formation for an improvement the professional development of the engineer-teacher in the teaching of civil engineering.

A Produção Enxuta vêm exercendo um papel cada vez mais importante durante as transformações das organizações em busca de competitividade no mercado. O nivelamento de produção surge como uma das mais importantes características da Produção Enxuta. O ambiente de produção com alta variedade de produtos, tipologia de produção Engineer to Order e com alta variação de tempo de ciclo está se tornando cada vez mais significativo no mercado atual e possui as mesmas necessidades de nivelamento da produção que os ambientes de produção nos quais tradicionalmente são aplicados os conceitos de Produção Enxuta. Este trabalho propõe um modelo de programação nivelada da produção para o tipo de ambiente de produção citado e descreve uma aplicação utilizando o método apresentado em uma empresa de vidros para a construção civil. / Lean Production has played an increasingly important role in the transformation of organizations for market competitiveness. The production leveling appears as one of the most important characteristics of Lean Production. The production environment with high variety of products, production typology Engineer to Order, with high variation of cycle time is becoming increasingly significant in today\'s market and has the same needs leveling production environments in which traditionally applied the concepts of Lean Production. This paper proposes a programming model of the production level for the kind of production environment cited and describes an application using the method presented in a glass company for civil construction.

Customization is an important way for suppliers to offer value to customers and to be competitive. There is a variety of methods suppliers can adopt to offer customization. What they have in common is that some form of interaction between customer and supplier is required as customization is based on involving individual customers in specifying a solution to be produced. This can be achieved, for example, by allowing the customer to choose from components or values that have been defined in advance, later to be assembled or put together according to the customer's wishes. As the possibilities for customization are clearly defined in advance, the supplier can rationalize their procedure to capture customer needs and propose an appropriate solution. This differs from cases where the customer is already involved in the development, design, or engineering stage ± so-called engineer-to-order (ETO) scenarios. Here, the customer is not bound to predefined possibilities for customization, which means that the interaction required to define the solution can extend beyond that required when customization possibilities are predefined and thus limited. In this thesis, customization-based interaction in ETO is investigated, both with the intention of improving the understanding of interaction in this context as such but also to offer ways of explaining how some approaches to customization have implications for interaction that differ from others. The result of the research consists of an account of how interaction is manifested in ETO and how different approaches to customization can be understood to clarify their implications for how solutions are defined. / Kundanpassning är ett viktigt sätt för leverantörer att erbjuda värde till sina kunder och på så vis vara konkurrenskraftiga. Det finns en rad olika metoder som leverantörer kan anta för att erbjuda kundanpassning. Gemensamt är att någon form av interaktion mellan kund och leverantör förutsätts, då kundanpassning baseras på att involvera den enskilda kunden i att specificera den lösning som ska produceras. Det kan exempelvis göras genom att kunden tillåts välja mellan olika komponenter eller värden som definierats i förväg, som därefter monteras eller sätts samman enligt kundens önskemål. Eftersom möjligheterna till kundanpassning är tydligt definierade i förväg kan leverantören därför rationalisera deras procedur för att fånga upp kundkrav och föreslå en lämplig lösning. Denna metod skiljer sig från fall då kunden involveras redan i utvecklings, design, eller konstruktionsfasen, så kallade konstruktion-mot-order (engineer-to-order, ETO) scenarion. Kunden är i dessa fall inte bunden till fördefinierade möjligheter för kundanpassning, vilket gör att interaktionen som krävs för att definiera lösningen inte kan rationaliseras i samma utsträckning. I denna uppsats undersöks kundanpassningsbaserad interaktion i ETO, både med avsikt att förbättra förståelsen för interaktion i denna kontext som sådan men även för att erbjuda sätt att förklara hur vissa förhållningssätt till kundanpassning har implikationer för interaktion som skiljer sig från andra. Resultatet av forskningen utgörs av en redogörelse för hur interaktion tar sitt uttryck i ETO samt hur olika förhållningssätt till kundanpassning kan förstås för att tydliggöra deras innebörd för hur lösningar definieras.

Chevron pavement markings have seen rising interest in the United States as a means to reduce speeds at high-speed locations and improve safety performance. In Atlanta, there are two freeway-to-freeway ramps where chevron markings are being used. A previous study analyzed before-and-after speed data at these ramps and found only a modest reduction on overall vehicle speeds. However, a cursory crash analysis indicated that the ramps had crash reductions of over 60%, suggesting that safety benefits exist even though vehicle speeds are not significantly affected. This research aims to evaluate the safety performance of chevron markings on the two ramps in Atlanta, GA in order to quantify the potential impact of the treatment on safety and to understand the mechanism by which the treatment influences safety. This thesis begins with a literature review covering topics in human factors in safety, past uses of different types of pavement markings, and methods in using crash databases and police reports in accident studies. Next, the thesis presents an in-depth before and after analysis of crash data from crash databases and police reports provided by the Georgia Department of Transportation. And finally, the thesis concludes with a summary of findings and a discussion of further research needs. The results verified that there were 73% and 61% crash reductions in the two study ramps. Chevron markings appear to have benefitted all types of crashes and that they are possibly serving as a warning to drivers of potential upcoming hazards. Unavailability of a number of police reports and errors in crash databases were limitations to this study, and ultimately, new sites should be selected carefully and further studies need to be performed to better understand the treatment's benefits.

Denna rapport har skrivits i samband med ett examensarbete i integrerad produktutveckling. Rapporten genomfördes under den avslutande kursen på designingenjörsprogrammet vid högskolan i Skövde 2008 i samarbete med företaget Lundbergs Möbler AB i Tibro. Rapporten redogör för designprocessen där en lösning för att integrera företagets iläggsskivor tas fram för deras matbord. Rapporten skildrar projektets olika delar från förstudie till slutligt koncept. Projektets inledande förstudie påvisade framförallt hur konkurrenternas lösningsprinciper ser ut, hur hanteringen av dagens iläggsskiva ser ut och dess hanteringsproblem samt ergonomin kring hanteringen av iläggsskivan. Det som framkom i förstudien låg därefter som beslutsunderlag för den fortsatta produktutvecklingen. Dessa områden gav en klarhet i om projektet var genomförbart och vidare vilka fysiska begränsningar och möjligheter projektet hade inför det fortsatta produktutvecklingsarbetet. Med den nya kunskapen bakom sig inleddes idégenereringsfasen. Här användes flera olika idégenereringsmetoder för att generera en mängd nya idéer. Idéerna utvecklades sedan för att därefter resultera i tre olika koncept. Förslagen pressenterades därefter för företaget som gick igenom koncepten och beslutade vilket koncept vi skulle arbeta vidare med. Efter företagets val använde vi oss av konceptvalsmatriser i den fortsatta produktutvecklingen för att nå fram till den bästa slutprodukten. Till sist framställdes en CAD-modell av det slutgiltiga konceptet och en teknisk prototyp tillverkad utefter denna modell. Prototypen gav en uppfattning om hur väl mekaniken hos konceptet fungerade. / This report covers the result of a final thesis in Product Design Engineering, in partial fulfillment of the Product Design Engineering program held at the University of Skövde. This report describes a project that was carried out in conjunction with Lundbergs Möbler in Tibro. The objective of the report is to convey the design process of integrating a table leaf into a Lundbergs dining table. The report will also present the product as it goes through the whole design process from idea, materializing in a prototype and concluding to a final concept/product. A pre study displays an overall view of product handling and current market solutions of today's table leaves, where handling issues and ergonomics of table leaf usage is illuminated. The information from the pre study has determined the feasibility of the project and has also been utilized as a foundation for a project specification upon which further product development can commence. With the information from the pre study as a foundation, the idea generation phase could begin. Different creativity methods are used to bring forth several innovatory ideas that can be utilized in improving the product. These ideas were improved on and evaluated to result in three different concepts. These concepts were then presented to Lundbergs Möbler who went through them and decided which concept to go forward with. Conceptual matrices were then used to steer further development of the product. When the concept was developed to satisfaction a CAD-model and a physical prototype has been built from the specifications and measurements from the CAD program. The prototype demonstrated the function of the mechanism that had resulted from the project. The prototype that resulted from integrating a table leaf in a dining table gave a functional mechanism that could be taken into production.

<p>Throughout the development of this report there will be a brief explanation of what the actual Aircraft Design Process is and in which stages the methodology that the authors are proposing will be implemented as well as the tools that will interact to produce this methodology.</p><p>The proposed tool will be the first part of a methodology that, according to the authors, by integrating separate tools that are currently used in different stages of the aeronautical design, will promote a decrease in the time frame for the initial stages of the design process.</p><p>The first part of the methodology above, that is proposed in this project, starts by creating a computer generated aircraft model and analyzing its basic aerodynamic characteristics “Lift Coefficient” and “Induced Drag Coefficient”, this step will be an alternative to statistical and empirical methods used in the industry, which require vast amount of data.</p><p>This task will be done in several steps, which will transfer the parametric aircraft model to an input file for the aerodynamic analysis program. To transfer the data a “translation” program has been developed that arranges the geometry and prepares the input file for analysis.</p><p>During the course of this report the reader will find references to existing aircrafts, such as the MD-11 or Airbus 310. However, these references are not intended to be an exact computer model of the mentioned airplanes. The authors are using this as reference so the reader can relate what he/she is seeing in this paper to existing aircrafts. By doing such comparison, the author intends to demonstrate that the Parametric Model that has been created possesses the capability to simulate to some extend the shape of existing aircrafts.</p><p>Finally from the results of this project it is concluded that the methodology in question is promising. Linking the two programs is possible and the aerodynamic characteristics of the models tested fall in the appropriate range. None the less the research must continue following the line that has been discussed in this report.</p>
