- The collection of papers that comprise this edited monograph addresses issues confronting universities’ attempts to integrate practice-based learning in higher education curriculum. It is through accounts and analyses of activities that the kinds and extents of this jostling of cultures within and amongst the academy, industry, government and professional bodies and other educational providers become evident. The contributions, in different ways, engage theory in practices (Price et al.2009) through appraisals of a range of issues in the recognition and implementation of practice based learning initiatives. The contributions explore the epistemologies, structures, politics, histories and rituals that both support and constrain opportunity and success in students’ experiences, and illuminating the issues, practices and factors that shape the processes and outcome of educational efforts to integrate experiences in both practice and educational settings, each of which has their own distinct cultures, practice within their communities (Gherardi 2009).

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Induction heating is commonly used in the re-heating of aluminum billets before forging or extrusion. Powerful finite element modeling (FEM) tools are available to assist in the design of such processes; however, such models should be validated by comparison with analytical solutions or experimental results to ensure accuracy. Induction heating experiments have been performed using a number of different coil designs and work piece dimensions at 50 Hz. Aluminum alloys with different electrical conductivities have been used, i.e. 6060 and A356. Process parameters such as: current, power, magnetic field, electrical conductivity, etc. have been measured with high precision instrumentation. Experimental data are presented and compared with equivalent 1D analytical and 2D axial symmetric FEM modeling results. The effect of frequency on the induction heating process is reviewed using the validated analytical and FEM models. Some recommendations are given with respect to appropriate modeling techniques, boundary conditions and numerical mesh sizes.
