Abstract

Die zweite Auflage dieses etablierten Werkes vermittelt praxisnahes und anwendungsorientiertes Fachwissen im Logistikmanagement der Automobilindustrie. Neben den bereits in der Praxis bewährten Verfahren des Logistikmanagements werden in der Neuauflage dieses Buches auch anwendungsnahe, wissenschaftlich fundierte Konzepte, wie z.B. die Monte Carlo Simulation, vorgestellt. Als Grundlagenwerk beschreibt dieses Buch alle logistikrelevanten Planungs- und Serienprozesse im Automobilbau. Den Hauptfokus bildet die Sicht des Automobilherstellers, da er innerhalb des globalen Supply Networks die höchste Anforderungs- und Komplexitätsstufe aufweist. Dieses Buch gliedert sich analog der Planungs- und Serienphase im Fahrzeugbau in die beiden Bereiche Logistikmanagement im Produktentstehungsprozess und Logistikmanagement im Kundenauftragsprozess. Entsprechend dem im Supply Chain Management üblichen Line-Back Prinzip werden in diesem Buch alle Planungsstufen der Logistik, von der Materialbereitstellung am Verbauort ausgehend, über die internen Logistikstufen, bis hin zu den Lieferprozessen, durchgängig behandelt. Für die anschließenden Serienprozesse erfolgt die Beschreibung der Abläufe nach Beschaffungs-, Produktions-, Distributions- und Ersatzteillogistik gemäß den Anforderungen im Kundenauftragsprozess. Alle in diesem Buch dargestellten Methoden und Konzepte basieren auf den Grundprinzipien einer Schlanken Logistik. Ein eigenes Kapitel Lean Logistics stellt diesen Ansatz nochmals vertieft vor.  Der Autor Prof. Dr. Florian Klug studierte Betriebswirtschaftslehre an der Universität Passau. Nach seiner Promotion und Beratungstätigkeiten im automobilen Umfeld war er in der Logistikplanung bei der Audi AG in Ingolstadt tätig. Seit 2003 lehrt er an der Hochschule München Supply Chain Management. Er ist seit vielen Jahren als Berater, Gutachter, Referent und Autor im Bereich des Logistikmanagements der Automobilindustrie tätig.

Abstract

Was ist Wissenschaftskommunikation?    Dieses Buch bietet Einblicke in die Theorie und Praxis der Wissenschafts- und Technikkommunikation. Es macht ihre Herausforderungen und Möglichkeiten in verständlicher Weise und mit zahlreichen Praxisbeispielen deutlich. Ob Zeitung oder Internet, Museum oder Science Café: Es gibt zahlreiche Möglichkeiten, wie Wissenschaft und Öffentlichkeit zusammenkommen. Wie aber werden komplexe Sachverhalte aus Forschung und Technik interessant und verständlich aufbereitet? Wie wird die gesellschaftliche Relevanz von Forschungsergebnissen dargestellt? Worin liegen die Probleme eines „Public Understanding of Science“, welche Chancen eröffnen sich durch „Dialog“ und „Bürgerwissenschaft“? Marc-Denis Weitze und Wolfgang M. Heckl begeben sich mit den Lesern auf Expeditionen in das Spannungsfeld zwischen Marketing und Partizipation. Zielgruppen sind alle, die Wissenschaftskommunikation betreiben, sich für die Hintergründe interessieren und an ihrer Weiterentwicklung mitwirken.    Die Autoren halten ein Plädoyer für eine sehr breite Sichtweise auf die Thematik. … Sowohl Einsteiger als auch erfahrene Kommunikatoren können hier wie aus einer Wundertüte viele Anregungen zum Selbermachen und zum Weiterdenken erhalten. Metin Tolan, TU Dortmund    Eine allgemein verständliche Übersicht über ein so breites Feld im Taschenbuchformat könnte manals  Wagnis und als Anmaßung verstehen. … Hier ist es gelungen, wesentliche Perspektiven aus Theorie und Praxis zusammen zu tragen – das Buch wird dadurch die weitere Diskussion und Entwicklung anregen. Peter Weingart, Universität Bielefeld und University of Stellenbosch    Die Autoren Marc-Denis Weitze ist Leiter des Themenschwerpunkts Technikkommunikation in der Geschäftsstelle der Deutschen Akademie der Technikwissenschaften (acatech) in München. Wolfgang M. Heckl ist Generaldirektor des Deutschen Museums in München, Inhaber des Oskar-von-Miller-Lehrstuhls für Wissenschaftskommunikation und Professor für Experimentalphysik an der TU München.

Abstract

This handbook of technology education offers a state-of-the-art survey of developments in technology education worldwide. It deals with general themes like philosophical foundations, curriculum, teaching and learning, teacher education, and educational technology. It also has some technology-specific topics, such as designing, making, and assessment (portfolios). To focus on the specific learning challenges a separate section of the book is dedicated to sub-domains of technology and engineering, like food, textiles, materials and robotics. Explicit attention is given to the possible role of technology (and engineering) education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. Recent developments such as technology concept learning, authentic learning, pre-university engineering education, design-based learning and design-based research for technology education, pedagogical content knowledge for technology educators, and the use of e-portfolios are included. One section deals with social and cultural issues, such as education for sustainability, gender issues in technology education, indigenous technologies, industry involvement and the relation between technology education and communication. As could be expected in a handbook on technology education, there is also a section on the use of technology for teaching about technology: the use of CAD, science fiction movies, animations, internet and social media. All chapters are written especially for this handbook by a selection of authors, some of whom have been part of the history of technology education for many years, some of whom are promising young researchers. The book can be used as a reference by technology education researchers to get a concise introduction into the field. It can also be used as a resource in technology teacher education programmes. Technology teachers can use it as literature for deepening their understanding of the field and thus working on their continuous professionalization. Curriculum developers and policy makers will find it of interest to get an understanding for the need to have technology education in the curriculum and the way it can be realized in practice.

Abstract

The need for a scientifically literate citizenry, one that is able to think critically and engage productively in the engineering design process, has never been greater. By raising engineering design to the same level as scientific inquiry the Next Generation Science Standards’ (NGSS) have signaled their commitment to the integration of engineering design into the fabric of science education. This call has raised many critical questions...How well do these new standards represent what actually engineers do? Where do the deep connections among science and engineering practices lie? To what extent can (or even should) science and engineering practices co-exist in formal and informal educational spaces? Which of the core science concepts are best to leverage in the pursuit of coherent and compelling integration of engineering practices? What science important content may be pushed aside? This book, tackles many of these tough questions head on. All of the contributing authors consider the same core question: Given the rapidly changing landscape of science education, including the elevated status of engineering design, what are the best approaches to the effective integration of the science and engineering practices? They answered with rich descriptions of pioneering approaches, critical insights, and useful practical examples of how embodying a culture of interdisciplinarity and innovation can fuel the development of a scientifically li terate citizenry. This collection of work builds traversable bridges across diverse research communities and begins to break down long standing disciplinary silos that have historically often hamstrung well-meaning efforts to bring research and practice from science and engineering together in meaningful and lasting ways.
