- Research findings about sustainable building stress that one key is the need for interaction in integrated design processes. However, if this is a prerequisite in real life, students are badly prepared for such collaboration. In Swedish universities, almost no co-operation is carried out between architects and engineers. This paper will extract experience from a course merging architects and engineers in a competition for energy efficient architecture, and point out recommendations. The course comprised several bridging aspects, which will be discussed: A) Between educational cultures in countries, the course involved two universities one from Norway and one from Sweden and many students came from European, non-Scandinavian countries. B) Between professional cultures, students and teachers from architecture and engineering. C) Between the competition (result), assessed by an external jury, and the course as a whole (learning) assessed by the teachers. D) Between vision and reality, the competition was based on a program from a real client. The students made an evaluation and, in general, they were positive, however, with exceptions. The main conclusion is that though details can be improved, both students and teachers will gain from crossing boundaries in order to establish meaningful learning about sustainable building.

Med generella kompetenser i fokus:Ingenjörsfärdigheter på Chalmers Samhällsbyggnadsprogram
- 2011

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- En pedagogisk modell där generella kompetenser integreras i ämneskurser tillämpas på basblocket på Chalmers civilingenjörsprogram Väg- och vattenbyggnad sedan sex årtillbaka. Denna modell kommer att implementeras i en planerad omstart av ingenjörsutbildningarna inom samhällsbyggnad på Chalmers. Omstarten syftar till en kvalitetssäkring och effektivisering av utbildningen där civilingenjörs- och högskoleingenjörsprogrammet sammankopplas och samordnas. Vi ser ett förstärkt lärande med de integrerade inslagen och ser hur kopplingen mellan den egna ingenjörsdisciplinen och vikten av kommunikationskunskaper konkretiseras. Modellen åskådliggörhur generella kompetenser har integrerats i tre ämneskurserunder grundutbildningens tre första år. Diskussionen utvärderar integrering av generella kompetenser och resonerar kring vilka faktorer som medger handledning av de här färdigheterna på ett meningsfullt vis för att kunna examinera de eftersökta kunskaperna.

Natural Convection Heat Transfer in a Horizontal Thermal Insulation Layer Underlying an Air Layer
- 1995
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the thesis a study is made of the influence of natural convection on heat transfer in a composite system comprising a porous material heated from below and an air space situated above this. The measuring apparatus, a Wind Box which has been designed and developed at the Department of Building Physics is described. This apparatus is a prototype; its main difference from a traditional guarded hot plate apparatus is its large measuring area (0.6 x 1.2 m) over which the material can be installed up to a thickness of 0.5 m and its thermal resistance when exposed to an upwards heat flux determined. In designing the measuring process, calculation of the maximum systematic error has been a control parameter; this is less than 6%. The study includes a review of the literature, measurements in a horizontal guarded hot plate apparatus, measurements in the Wind Box and calculations with a recently developed simulation program (CONVBOX) for three-dimensional convection problems. The combination of simulation and experiments performed in the Wind Box has been found to be an important instrument in understanding the complex coupled convection processes which occur in the insulation material. Good agreement between modelling and experiment has been obtained for the studied case of natural convection. Two types of experimental investigations have been performed. The first is made in a horizontal guarded hot plate apparatus in order to find whether small scale apparatus can be used to study the influence of natural convection on heat transfer through a porous material. The second is made in the Wind Box in order to study the influence of the air space on the convective component of heat transfer in the underlying material. The investigations focus on a model material consisting of polystyrene pellets of cylindrical shape.
