All of This Has Happened Before
Change is difficult. If knowing best practices were enough, the web — and the world — would be devoid of problems. So how do we avoid repeating the mistakes we’ve already made? Bringing about change within an organization (or an industry) can be challenging, whether they are your client or your employer, yet we all strive to do this on a daily basis. Dan explores life on both sides of that coin, offering suggestions on how we can recognize and avoid the paths that lead us where we’ve already been, and continue to improve what we design and build.
If the spaces we use for teaching and learning could speak to us, what would they say? The places and spaces across colleges and universities are some of our biggest investments. But are we using them effectively to enhance and enrich the learning journey? Does the environment in which we learn have impact on the learning journey?
There is an institutional memory within those walls that is inaccessible and lost every time the learners and teachers leave the room. The room doesn’t remember what worked well or what could have been better. The spaces, if they could store experiences and feedback, would know what worked well, and what didn’t, for different learning activities. What if, we could we use data gathered from teachers and students, as well as space usage, to inform and improve teaching and learning?
The hyperbole around AR, VR, artificial intelligence and the internet of things as created a cynical bubble among some staff and institutional decision makers, especially those that have been burned by previous tech fads. But it may be time to put aside the cynicism that this kind of hype generates and look seriously at how we can take advantage of these emerging technologies to improve the student experience, research and the management of our campuses (Clay 2017)
If the walls, our learning and teaching spaces, could talk, what could they tell us, and how would it change what we do?

Utilizing Technology to Construct Personalized Learning Experiences
Since the dawn of the computer revolution, the promise of PERSONAL Computing has been ever present. Yet, when we simply leave students to their own devices, technology can serve to depersonalize their experiences. This is especially true of their educational experiences. Meanwhile, as teachers we struggle to effectively manage truly differentiated learning environments. However, this need not be the case. Together, we will explore the possibilities and potential afforded by today’s technology and empower you to utilize technology resources to make learning personal, meaningful, and differentiated for today’s connected students.

Talk UX: Designers Guilty By Association Lauren Currie
Designers: Guilty By Association
We are known for our stylistic gestures and whimsical, indulgent ideas, often created whilst wearing black polo necks. Taxi drivers think I design shoes for living. Most designers do. They design apps to help up find pizza faster and design sexy products that help us wake up on time.
We deserve better.
I’m one of many designers who are trying to reformulate the role design can play in the world. Using the design process to tackle many of the complex and serious problems facing our society. Some call it social design, service design or design activism. BUT the labels don’t matter. What does matter is the HOW.
How does this kind of design actually work and what does this mean for our future? Judging by the speed and enthusiasm with which design students are signing up for newly created courses on experience design, social and humanitarian design, more design activists and provocateurs will emerge in the future. It’s time to get responsible.

Niche or Platform - what next for our institutions online?Mike Ellis
This presentation looks at the ideas behind institutions delivering a "trusted platform" rather than niche silos. It suggests that "platforms" in this context are places where communities are enabled, supported and encouraged and goes on to consider ten big ideas which often accompany platform-like approaches.
Safety for those using our streets on foot remains an area needing much work although many proven and low-cost countermeasures already exist and are available for widespread use. This was my presentation on that topic at the NTSB Pedestrian Safety Forum, May 2016.
I made this presentation to the Capital Trails Coalition on November 17, 2016 at the third annual Trails Symposium! This short presentation opened a panel discussion that covered many aspects of trail use and construction. The Capital Trails Coalition seeks to create a world-class network of multi-use trails that are equitably distributed throughout the Washington D.C. metropolitan region. Over 20 agencies, non-profits, business improvement districts and organizations are part of the Capital Trails Coalition.
The Current Revolution in Street Design 10.12.16Fionnuala Quinn
Presentation to University of Virginia students, entitled The Current Revolution in Street Design on November 12, 2016. Fionnuala spoke as part of the Undergraduate Seminar Series organized by the Department of Environmental Services: http://www.evsc.virginia.edu/seminars/undergraduate-seminar/
Retrofitting Suburbia for Walking & BicyclingFionnuala Quinn
This session engaged participants in considering modern American suburbs and the many practical ways that the street design and transportation network can be retrofit to facilitate increased and safer walking and bicycling trips. It began with a short history of the changes in street construction and transportation options that allowed living further from employment, services and activities and thus created the modern American suburbs. The discussion highlighted the characteristics of the suburban layout: lower population densities than urban areas and land patterns that separate residences from shopping and other commercial development. Discussion continued with the associated street design and road network characteristics associated with this suburban layout. The operational and facilities particular to suburb streets were examined including their impacts on walking and biking.
The session also examined suburban design variations depending on when land development occurred, as well as when and how roads and highways were configured.

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two type of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

4. "I knew kids who were pushed
out the door at eight in the
morning, and not allowed back
until five unless they were on
fire or actively bleeding.”
Bill Bryson on ‘50s childhood
13. 3-D built world => designed
Design & operation vary = different outcomes
Everything is networked
Change is normal => let’s think about how
built world <=> how we live
Value built world
Kids have a role too (now and future)
SLIDE 1: Introduction
I create materials and conduct programs for community members, including children, encouraging them to think differently about the design of our streets.
SLIDE 2: The Problem
We take precious little time to engage children in the wonders of the public world. We rarely tell them the design stories nor share our vision or solicit their input on future plans.
Slide 3: Kids & their relationship to the built world
Meanwhile the relationship that kids have to the built world has altered. Their radius of free movement has become tiny, they spend vast amounts of time looking at flat screens & they are chauffeured around reducing their grip on local orientation and wayfinding.
SLIDE 4: Bill Bryon quote
We know something similar has happened in the US. With these changes, children have lost much of their contact & independent learning about the physical world they occupy.
SLIDE 5: How to seeing what’s in front of our eyes
My fourth class teacher in particular opened my eyes to the built world. Mrs. O’Sullivan took all forty-something of us on foot to see the Georgian buildings and squares of Dublin & had us build model replicas. I was also a child who biked independently 4 miles to school from age 11.
SLIDE 6: The many worlds
Society does a good job of making sure that children get a broad appreciation of the natural environment, undersea worlds and outer space.
SLIDE 7: What we don’t teach them
Teaching kids about the real world they occupy everyday is something we could be doing much better.
SLIDE 8: The missed opportunity
Yet we don't create many opportunities for children to learn directly about how we put together our streets and why they work the way they do. I say, let’s get inside their brains early.
SLIDE 9: Why does it matter?
The public conversations that take place around our roads don’t go so well. Introduce an idea of traffic calming and speed humps in the neighborhood and next thing World War III breaks out.
SLIDE 10: The Road to Happiness
There’s a long history of executing societal change through kids. – smoking, recycling, seatbelts.
SLIDE 11: Kids love it
See the line to get drawings reviewed, signed & sealed at the engineering booth. This is what happens when kids are excited about their built world.
If they want to learn the details about this stuff, they can go to engineering school.
SLIDE 13: Underlying principles
The following principles underlay all fun and are reinforced with the children:
The 3-D built world is artifact of human design
Design & operation vary and can be varied leading to different outcomes
Everything is networked
Change is possible
We own this stuff & it determines how we live
We need to value & look after this stuff
Kids have a role too (now and future)
SLIDE 14: Idea 1. Become an Explorer of the Street
Go outside and look at everything! Show kids around the public space. Walk the neighborhood streets or school parking lot.
LIDE 15: Idea 2. Build Better Box-Cities
Using readily available craft supplies and tools put it all together into a planned community and operating street. Incorporate toy cars and trucks and signs.
SLIDE 16: Idea 3. Celebrate Community Infrastructure
Celebrate the wonders of the amazing infrastructure that we build with kids. Get on hard hat tours of local construction and visit your local Department of Transportation.
SLIDE 17: Idea 4. Unravel Streets Secrets
Discover the secrets of how the street functions. Kids love being treated like they are ready for the special grown-up knowledge.
SLIDE 18. Idea 5. I ♥ Public Works
Send valentine love notes about their work to public officials.
SLIDE 19: Idea 6. Act like this stuff is important
Have the type of fun that comes from carrying clip boards, using measuring wheels, and wearing hard hats and safety vests. Hold award ceremonies and showcase the children’s work.
SLIDE 20: Idea 7. Use safety education to teach design ideas
Co-opt safety programs to teach design ideas – understanding those ideas first will lead to a better understanding of safety principles.
SLIDE 21. Idea 8. Fun with Maps & Wayfinding
Making and understanding maps remains a key skill for developing spatial understanding and helping making sense of our built world.
SLIDE 22: Programs
For the last two summers, The Bureau of Good Roads ran a street design-and transportation themed summer camp fin Washington DC. The Good Roads Rangers Club,
SLIDE 23: Idea 10. Successful Networking for Kids
Understanding that everything is part of a larger network and that overlapping networks intersect re key ideas. One way to explain is to have kids make their own streets & communities and then figure out how to join with others to create a network.
When I saw this vintage ad, I felt sure it was me! However, when it appeared in 1981, I was already in engineering college. I was only there because of a single encouragement workshop .
Challenges can be designed around readily available low-cost materials. Organize a collection of newspapers, kitchen towel rolls, clementine crates and next thing, you're in the construction business.
SLIDE 26: A word about volunteers
Many wonderful people are willing to share their time for kids and STEM.
SLIDE 27: Reimagining our built world
The streets can be such a familiar place that children may never be asked to look closely at how it all works. However, tublic roadways are key to access and independence as well as community safety and health so it important to include them in imagining our future.
SLIDE 28: Thank you
Let’s encourage kids to notice the design of the built world, understand a little about how it should and could work & invite them to be involved in that conversation now and in the future.
